Hearing the cries of various users of its applications, YouTube has announced that it will update them with offline viewing options starting this November, enabling viewers to see their favorite videos through storage for up to 48 hours time. Smartphone and tablet users can look forward to more YouTube viewing outside of WiFi range and without exceeding their mobile bandwidth caps.
In the creators’ blog posted earlier this week, the post indicates, “This upcoming feature will allow people to add videos to their device to watch for a short period when an Internet connection is unavailable. So your’ fans ability to enjoy your videos no longer has to be interrupted by something as commonplace as a morning commute.”
Creators don’t necessarily have to enable offline viewing if they don’t want to, but it’s nice to have the option open.
