Offline Youtube..coming in November

YouTube is working on plans to let people view videos through its mobile app even when they don't have an internet connection.

The feature, rumoured to be launching from November, will let users add videos to their smartphones or tablets when they're online, to watch at a later time offline.

YouTube said that the videos will be available for a ‘short period’ and according to All Things D this could be as much as 48 hours.It is not clear whether the videos will be available as a temporary download and removed once the 48 hours has expired - similar to how the BBC handles offline shows on the iPlayer - or cached.

‘Your fans’ ability to enjoy your videos no longer has to be interrupted by something as commonplace as a morning commute,’ YouTube said in its Creator’s blog.

The videos will still be free and will have Google ads running on them.
