How to watch Videos offline on YouTube from your mobile?
Do you want to know how to watch a YouTube video offline?
Then keep watching this video
Hello! My name is Aekta
Sometimes you want to watch a video on your Smartphone with a 3G or 4G connection
But the Internet connection is terrible and the video keeps buffering
and watching a video takes forever!
Wish one could watch the video offline!
Sometimes you have access to a High speed WiFi connection that is free... but no time to watch a video
If only one could download the video to one's mobile now and watch later at leisure... that would be great!
Sometimes you are in a Cafe of a Restaurant, which has a high speed free WiFi connection
But you are busy with your friends and/or family
Is there a way, you can download these videos to your mobile now and watch the videos later... in your free time?
whether you have a fast internet connection later ... or not
These are the things you need, if you want to watch a YouTube video offline -
A Smartphone with Android or iOS operating system, the YouTube Mobile App and an Internet connection
Let's learn How to watch a YouTube video offline on a Mobile
You need to install the YouTube app on your smartphone
Often it's already a part of the Apps on your mobile
Just go to the PlayStore or the Apple App Store and make sure that the YouTube App is updated and you have the latest version
This feature was launched recently on the YouTube App
This is the YouTube app, which I have already installed on my Mobile
Click on it. If you have not updated the app, you will see an Update button and you can download the latest version to your smartphone.
Then install it and click on 'Open'
The YouTube App is Open Now
Now how to see a video on this app?
Click on the search icon on top
and let's search for a video. Let me search for a 'Kya Kaise' video
Let me select this video ... 'How to make a Free Website'
Let me click on it
Now the video has opened and is playing now
If you want to watch this video in the Offline mode, then ... you need to pay attention to this arrow next to Like, Dislike buttons
This arrow will help you watch the video in the Offline mode. Let me click on it
Now you see a menu ... you can choose whether you want this video in Normal Mode or HD Mode
The Normal video has a lower resolution but also a lower file size
The HD video is of a better quality but you can see here that the file size is about 4 times that of the Normal file
It's up to you to choose whether you want a bigger file with a better resolution or not
Let me click on 'Normal' and then check the box next to 'Remember my settings
Now YouTube will remeber my preference the next time I want to add a video to offline
Let's click on OK
Now you can see the video being added to Offline Mode
Now you can see the progress of the download and when the video is completely downloaded the horizontal bar will become Dark Blue
This is taking a while because the video is very long ... longer than 15 minutes
Now it says 'Video added to offline'
Now you can see a Tick Mark instead of the Arrow
Let me click on it
let's pause the video and go back
Let's click on the Menu icon on top
Now you can see the 'offline' icon
Let's click on the 'Offline' button... now you can see all the video that you have added to Offline Mode
You can watch these later... without an internet connection
How to do that? Let me remove this first...
Let me swipe this and go and switch off my WiFi connection and my Mobile data
Now I am being told 'No internet connection available'
Now let's go back and here you see... two offline Internet videos
Let's try to play them ... let's click here
Now the video is playing
I am not connected to the Internet but I can see the YouTube video on my smartphone ...in offline mode
Let me pause the video
Two things before I sign-off. You can watch this video offline for 48 hours or two days
Secondly, this feature has just been launched in India, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Google has just launched this in 3 countries
