YouTube apps will get Offline Viewing in November

Written by James Delahunty @ 18 Sep 2013 10:30 User comments (1)

YouTube has revealed that its mobile apps will get a new Offline Viewing feature this November.

The feature was announced on the YouTube Creator's blog. It will allow YouTube users to store videos on their devices for a temporary period, so they will not need an Internet connection to view the videos.

"This upcoming feature will allow people to add videos to their device to watch for a short period when an Internet connection is unavailable," The YouTube Team announced.

"So your fans' ability to enjoy your videos no longer has to be interrupted by something as commonplace as a morning commute,"

This is part of an effort at YouTube to maximise the way users of its mobile apps enjoy videos and channels.

I'll believe this when I see this. Youtube has had Pre-fetch for a while now. It has never worked.
So, we'll just see. Will I be able to store a couple of hours of video for off-line viewing? Or will Youtube limit it to 5 minutes or some such bullcrap.

	Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
