Even though it’s fun, streaming videos from platforms like YouTube can drain data quota when done via a cellular internet connection. Especially if the video has a long duration and high resolution. To save on mobile internet data usage, you can download YouTube videos to your phone when using a Wi-Fi connection, for example when you’re at work or at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Videos that have been downloaded can then be watched at a later time without draining mobile internet data quota. This can be useful for videos that need to be watched many times such as tutorials.
How to download YouTube videos
YouTube provides a video download feature in its application, both for Android and iOS platforms. In other words, you don’t need any additional apps to do this.
Some videos may only be downloadable if you subscribe to YouTube Premium. Beyond that, how to download videos on YouTube is quite easy. The steps are as follows.
\u2022 First of all, open the YouTube app. Then find and play the video you want to download.
\u2022 Click the “Download” button which is between the “Share” and “Save” buttons. These three buttons are located just below the video title.
\u2022 A few moments later, you will be presented with a choice of downloaded video quality, ranging from Low (144p), Medium (360p), to High (720p).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Select the video quality you want. Keep in mind, the higher the quality of a video, the larger the size of the video.
\u2022 After selecting the desired video quality, click the “OK” button. You can also check the “Remember my settings” box so that the window doesn’t appear again.
Later, when you want to download another video and have activated this option, the video will be automatically downloaded with the specified quality.
On the “Downloads” page, you can stop the download process by clicking “Pause” or delete the downloaded video by selecting “Delete from downloads”. Both options can be found when you click the “three dots” icon to the right of the video. You can also change all settings related to the download feature on YouTube by accessing the “three dots” icon located to the right of the “Search” button. Some of the settings that can be changed include download quality, downloading videos only via Wi-Fi, saving downloaded videos on the SD card so they don’t fill up the internal memory, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note that you must be connected to YouTube (online) at least 29 days after you download a video. Otherwise, the video will be removed from the “Downloads” page automatically and you will have to download it again. Not all videos can be downloaded and watched offline. Most music videos, for example, cannot be downloaded because they are copyright protected. It also depends on the account owner whether to make the video available for download by other users or not. However, users can pay a certain amount of money to subscribe to YouTube Premium in order to download the video. The cheapest YouTube Premium subscription fee (for personal accounts) is IDR 59,000 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
