YouTube Smart Offline lets viewers in India download videos overnight to save data costs

10 June, 2016
YouTube Red already offers offline viewing of YouTube videos but it is more of a necessity in developing countries as data is a costlier operation. Smart Offline will let users queue videos to be scheduled to download overnight, when data costs are off-peak for many Indian mobile providers.

      We kind of need this in UK... I mean UK internet sucks.. I live in London, but the best internet available is 11mbps ?! Ok - I next few month Hyperoptic might roll their 1gbps internet in my place.. but c'mon I had 1Gbps 7 years ago in Lithuania... Surely, world should have moved during those years... (not in UK... where we have no competition in the market)..

                  What about UAE? we have a single provider who dominantly controls the market. Their costs are out of this world. We need youtube Red here.

                    When you want to watch something, you should watch it right away.. It's not awesome to wait all night to watch a video and then early morning you see the video was silly.. You ruin all your mood.
                    Good day with that.

                                      We have a similar services in Sri Lanka. Most mobile operators provide special packages for off-peak data used between 12am to 7am or 8am. Usually the data packages are very cheap for this time period.

                                      I use a package that offers 6.5GB peak data and 7.5GB off-peak data. If we pass even the off-peak limit it will be very costly. Only Xiaomi phones provide a feature to track peak and off-peak data separately. Other data management apps are useless.
