YouTube for desktop could soon allow Premium users to download videos they can watch when offline

YouTube is currently testing a feature that allows premium users to download videos from desktops. The test feature is available until October 19 for YouTube Premium users.

There are situations in life when you want to download shows and movies, and keep them ready for viewing, especially when you are travelling or going to a low-network region. While streaming platforms like Netflix enable users to watch shows later on their phone and laptops, YouTube only allows users to download videos directly from the platform. However, it is likely that this might change now. YouTube is testing a method in which it could allow users to download videos that they can watch later, even when they are offline.
