This wikiHow teaches you how to download YouTube videos so that you can watch them offline on your iPad. Using a third-party app to download videos violates YouTube's user agreement and maybe even copyright law, so most apps that do this will eventually be removed from the App Store.

To step

Method 1 of 2: Using YouTube Red

1. Open YouTube. It is a white app with a red rectangle surrounding a white triangle.
2. Tap your Google profile picture. It's in the top right corner of the screen.
   • If you are not logged in, tap the red and white silhouette at the top right of the screen, tap LOG IN and enter your Google username and password.
3. Tap Get YouTube Red. This is at the top of the menu.
   • YouTube Red is a paid subscriber service that allows you to download videos to watch offline without violating the YouTube user agreement.
   • If you watch a video streams you actually watch just like you watch TV, without having a copy in your possession, but you do need an internet connection. Streaming protects the copyright of the video creators.
   • Downloaded videos take up storage space on your iPad, but you can watch them without an internet connection. If you did not purchase or record the video yourself, or have permission from the creator, owning a copy of the video is likely a violation of copyright law. Downloading a video from YouTube in most cases violates the YouTube User Agreement.
