You can find the video download quality option and various other settings - such as whether or not to restrict downloads to times that your device is on wifi - by tapping your profile picture (top right on the front screen) then Settings and Background and downloads. To remove an individual download, click the three dots next to a clip on the downloads page and pick Remove from downloads, or go to the video page and click Downloaded then Delete on the subsequent dialog box. On the same screen, you’ll see a Delete all downloads button, which erases all of the clips you’ve saved to the current device.
How to download youtube videos to your phone 1080p#
Click Download settings (top-right) to change the default video quality of your downloads, up to a maximum of 1080p HD. Anything you see on this page can be watched without an internet connection if necessary. To find your downloads on YouTube on the web, click the Downloads button in the navigation pane on the left. Downloads don’t sync between devices - they’re local to the device you’re on - and they won’t be deleted automatically unless the device goes for 30 days without connecting to the internet. If you’re browsing through video thumbnails in a grid (on the YouTube homepage for example), then you’re able to click the three dots next to any video to find the download option.Ī small download status box appears in the lower-left corner, and you need to keep the current browser tab open until the download is completed. If you’re signed into YouTube with a premium account, you’ll notice a Download button underneath videos while you’re watching them: Click it and the download starts.
