Youtube Kids Offline – Benefits
But why use Youtube Kids offline? Taking into account the mobile data packages currently used in our country, most of the time watching videos and movies without a Wi-Fi connection is not very feasible.

To get a better idea, let's compare the usage in GB(GigaBytes). The average mobile data usage of Brazilians per month is around 5GB, the world average reaches 11GB. To watch a movie on Netflix, an average spends 1GB per hour, in an SD image (standard definition), in HD (High definition) the expense rises to 3GB, while in Ultra HD (ultra high definition) consumption can reach 7GB/Hour.
With that, using Youtube Kids offline, your children will be able to watch the movies of the moment without consuming your mobile internet.

But what does it take?
The first step to be able to use Youtube Kids is to have access to the platform, so in this topic I will explain where to find the application and what is needed to access the content. This way you can download your videos for offline use without spending on your internet allowance.
Through the Google Play platform you will search for “Youtube Kids” and you just need to find and install it. Once installed, you will need to create an account with your Gmail and choose your password. We recommend that you create a password that varies between uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers, to ensure better security for your account.
Youtube Kids is a free platform, but to use it without ads and download videos, you need to get Youtube Premium. Along with these benefits, you can also use “Youtube Music Offline” and watch videos in the background, that is, your application will continue to transmit the videos without having to have it open in the foreground.
Step by step for offline use
With the application installed, internet access and your login completed, the first step will be to create a profile for the child. Then find the padlock symbol in the lower right corner. If you have already configured a password, use it to enter and then access “settings”. Now just enable the “offline videos” option. Once this is done, you will configure the storage space you want to use.
Choose between 15 minutes and 10 hours of content, thus ensuring that your device's memory doesn't run out untimely. Now choose the quality in which you want to download your videos, choosing between low quality (144p), medium 360p or high quality (720p). Remembering that higher image quality means giving up more storage. After that, in the main menu, look for the video you want to download, go to the menu indicated by 3 vertical dots and select “save offline”.
Ready! Now just go back to the beginning, go to the lock again and select “offline videos”, there you will find all your videos already downloaded. Just to remember, always opt for a security access, using only the application oficial available on Google Play. Do you like this type of content?
