YouTube Red exclusive first hands-on

2015-10-21
hey it's been popper with The Verge I'm about to go hands-on with YouTube's new subscription service it's called YouTube red so you can see I've got YouTube red up here which means I'm logged in as a subscriber so it's just like ordinary YouTube the only difference is when I click on a video it loads up with no ads it's kind of a surreal experience it's like driving without a speed limit and another thing that you'll notice here is as I'm going into different videos so let's pick up some Daft Punk over here I have this button where I can download the video to watch offline now when I decide to save a video you see it gives me some options here and that's a big deal because compared to music video can take up a ton of room and you can also remember your settings there so now you've got a little status bar here it's saving the video to go offline another thing that you'll see in YouTube red is background place so I'll go into my settings here and I've got a tab called background and offline background play is I'm watching a video and I get a text I want to jump over to that or I'm listening to music with my headphones on and I want it to keep playing even if my screen turns off so you've got some options here always-on when you're using headphones or turning it off so that you know background play never happens the video will always pause from in here I can also choose on my video quality set that up and I can decide if I want to download videos over Wi-Fi or you know even when I'm on just a regular data connection now down here at the bottom you've got your internal storage and that's nice to have you know if you're going to be downloading a lot of videos for offline you're going to want to know how much space you have free I think basically the only other thing that is worth demoing here with red is if I'm inside of a video and it's playing and then for example I were to get a text message or something like that let's say I switch toggle over to that notification so now I'm you know in here hanging out I can type back and write a message hey watching YouTube and my video when I toggle back over to it here is still playing so it picks up you know past where I left off and if I had headphones in I could have been hearing that the whole time okay so that's YouTube red mm-hm
