Official YouTube application for mobile platforms, allowing you to view videos from popular video sharing, get support off-line viewing. True to the initial function is only available in emerging markets. This was stated by a top manager of Google Cesar Sengupta, being at an event in India.
Earlier it was aware of the possibility of downloading from YouTube music videos as part of a paid subscription program YouTube Music Key, which costs $ 9.99 per month. However, users in India will be able to download to their smartphones and tablets any video from the site. Will this service is provided free of charge, not reported.
The company did not specify how plans to monetize the videos posted on the site. Maybe downloadable from the site of the video will include the built-in advertising.
Google announced its intention to implement off-line mode for applications in September last year. "People will be able to add video to their smartphones and tablets to watch them for a short period of time, when the Internet is not available," - said in a statement YouTube. The duration of the "short period of time" was not specified. At Google, noted that viewing the video "will no longer be interrupted by something as trivial as the morning trip to work."
YouTube and Google has not yet provided details about innovations.
