The fine folks at the YouTube Creator Blog this morning dropped an early heads up that starting sometime in November, we’ll be able to watch YouTube videos offline “for a short period.” It doesn’t sound like this is full offline downloading, but instead you’ll get temporary access while you’re disconnected.
To wit:
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.
Looking forward to it. In the meantime, be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel, wont’cha?
