Watch YOU TUBE videos offline
You can now download YouTube videos on your Android or
iOS device using the official YouTube app itself and watch the videos later
while you are offline or on a slow connection.
It takes a
few easy steps to download a video on the YouTube app. Open a video, tap the
download button (see screenshot), choose the resolution for the downloaded
video and it will begin to download on your device. There’s a new “Offline”
section in the YouTube app where you can find a list of all videos that are
currently in the download queue or available for offline watching.
The offline
feature is available on the YouTube app for both Android and iPhone.
That said, there are
certain obvious limitations. One, not every video available on the YouTube
website is available for download. The offline mode is mostly disabled for
music videos and movies.Also, the downloaded videos can only be watched inside the YouTube app. I did some digging on Android and it turns out that YouTube saves the videos into smaller chunks as .exo files, a format that is not supported in other media players.
There are however no restrictions around the number of videos that you can take offline with the YouTube app, you are only limited by the free storage available on your iPhone or Android phone. Haven't tried it on Multimedia devices like apple TV, Android TV devices, will test and let you know.
