YouTube Go Lets You Download and Share Videos Offline

Google has been making developments to make YouTube more attainable in countries like India, where the cyberspace penetration, as well as internet speeds, isn't on par with other adult countries. The visitor released the offline characteristic in YouTube last year, and afterwards on, too announced the YouTube Go app. The offline-axial YouTube app has finally arrived on the Play Store. Right now, it's but available in India but co-ordinate to Google, it should arrive in more than countries afterward on. And so, if you take been wondering what YouTube Go is all nigh, nosotros have you covered.

What YouTube Go Offers?

The YouTube Become app focuses on offline viewing and sharing of videos. While the app does let you stream videos, its priority lies in letting you lot salve and share videos with ease. The app also makes certain that information technology does not take up likewise much storage on your device and thus, it'due south only 8.5 MB in size. Likewise, when you lot save videos in YouTube Go, it lets you choose between different video quality, along with a mention of the file size and the storage left in your device. So, it's basicallya YouTube lite app.

The app also lets yous share videos offline via Bluetooth, and lets y'all find friends that are using the app past verifying your phone number. So, now that you know what YouTube Go brings to the table, let's see how information technology works.

How YouTube Become Works?

The YouTube app has arrived in an unreleased "beta testing" course but it should be shut plenty to the stable app that should be released presently. Y'all can download the app from the Play Store or but if don't alive in India, y'all can get the app from APKMirror.

Once you have installed the app, yous can launch the app and it volition commencement ask you to select the linguistic communication. There'due south English, Hindi and other Indian languages, as of at present. Once you have selected the language, the app will prove y'all different slides showing off the different features in the app.

So, the app will ask yous to enter your mobile number, afterwards which you will accept to select the Google account you desire to apply with YouTube Go. Once done, your number will be verified and you will be taken to the dwelling house page of the app.

The home page of the app features two tabs: Domicile and Saved. The Home tab shows you 20 videos, and when are yous are scrolling upwards from the lesser, yous become a "Show More" button at the top to get new videos. There's also the search push and a iii-dot carte du jour button at the top right, which lets you head to "Settings" or "Assist & feedback".

When you tap on a video, yous get the preview of the video, along with options to relieve the video in Basic (240p) or Standard quality (360p), with the size they will accept in your phone. You can also hit the "Play" button to stream the video. Even the stream is available but in 240p or 360p, no Hard disk here. When you striking the "Save" button, the video is downloaded and is available in the Saved tab.

When it comes to the play page, it's fairly limited when compared to the full fledged YouTube app, which is understandable, considering the calorie-free nature of the app. There are the usual playback options, just you lot cannot change the video quality, like/dislike a video or even read the comments. In that location'due south no option to subscribe to a channel or even access subscribed channels. I don't like the fact that there are no comments because if you do visit YouTube a lot, you'd know that the comments section tin can sometimes be more interesting than the video itself.

So, there is the sharing feature. In the Saved tab, you will find 2 options at the bottom: "Share" and "Receive". You tin can just hit the Share push on i device and the Receive button on the other device. Then, the device will exist scanned and you can easily share the video over Bluetooth.

Since YouTube Go is still in a beta phase, there are some bugs. For me, the sharing characteristic was a little patchy. Other than that, the app is great for people who have limited mobile data bandwidth as well equally speed. I especially similar the offline sharing feature.
