Preload videos on Android

Preload videos on Android

Preloading lets you watch select videos without interruption. For example, if you want to watch videos while you're commuting to work on the subway, you can preload certain videos on your Android phone. The preloaded videos won't be stuck on loading or continually stop and start because of a low signal!
To play these preloaded videos, you’ll still need a network signal (even a weak one). Currently, only subscribed videos and videos in your "Watch Later" playlist are available for preloading.

Enabling preloading

To have preloaded videos available on your phone, you’ll need to make sure that you’re signed into your YouTube account. Once you’re signed in, follow these steps to enable preloading:
  1. Touch the menu icon .
  2. Touch Settings.
  3. Touch Preloading.
  4. Touch Preload subscriptions and/or Preload watch later.
Preloading can be disabled at any time by unchecking these options.

Conditions for preloading

Once you turn on this feature, preloading will happen only when:
  • The device’s battery is charging.
  • The device is connected to a WiFi network.
For videos that are being fetched,  will be displayed in the corner of the video. Once a video has been fetched,  will appear.
Note: Please check with your ISP to determine if your plan has any data caps as preloading will stream large amounts of data.
