Technology: YouTube offline video playback now on mobile

YouTube Philippines has launched a new offline feature on December 11, which will allow all users to watch videos even when they’re not connected to the Internet for 48 hours.

To choose a video for later viewing, simply tap on the offline icon.

“We want to make sure we are making YouTube as enjoyable as possible for our growing base of mobile users in the Philippines,” said John Harding, Vice President of Engineering at YouTube. “By launching a new offline feature for YouTube today, we hope to help people move past the challenges of data connection, speed and cost to enjoy a smooth, buffer-free version of YouTube.”

“By making these popular videos available for temporary offline viewing, our partners will help fans connect more easily with their favorite content, while also helping bring more viewers to their videos. We hope to keep finding better ways to make video content more affordable and accessible in the Philippines,” said Ryan Morales, Country Marketing Manager for Google Philippines.
