YouTube Go Beta now available for download in India


Alphabet Inc's Google said on Tuesday it would roll out a mobile YouTube application designed for India, boosting the search company's presence in a burgeoning market with spotty Internet access. Since the fall, Google has been conducting extensive tests in India of YouTube Go, which allows users to save videos to watch offline and monitor their data use.
A beta version of the app has been released in the Google Play Store in India, and will be released in other emerging markets later, company executives said in an interview.

Youtube go on andriod

Google-owned YouTube will now let users download videos through its recently-launched YouTube Go app. The app is available for download from the Google Play Store, but is rolling out to limited users based on early access programme. YouTube Go allows downloading of videos directly to the smartphone's internal memory or the microSD card for offline viewing. While the app works similarly to YouTube's primary app, it prompts users to download videos instead of streaming them online.
For now, videos can be downloaded in two resolutions - 144p (Basic) and 360p (Standard). Downloading in HD quality isn't available yet.
The downloaded videos can also be shared with other users using Bluetooth. As mentioned in the app listing, YouTube Go requires internet access in order to perform a 15kb security check, once the video has been downloaded.

The new video-streaming service adds to the company's long term goal of making internet accessible to the 'Next Billion' users in India and enhancing the Google experience for them. YouTube Go is claimed to have been built from the ground-up, keeping Indian users in mind. At the time of showcasing the app, Google said that YouTube Go app will show trending videos right on the homescreen. The section highlights the most trending or popular videos in the user's geographical area. However, the location services need to be turned on for that. Google said that YouTube Go was created after a team of engineers and designers carried an extensive research in 15 cities across India. The app has been designed to be offline-first and can work not just in low connectivity areas, even when where there's no internet connection. YouTube Go in India may witness a lot of Indian users flocking towards it because of its data-saving features. Although the company already has features like smart offline video saving, the new app is likely to penetrate deeper into the Indian market.

Microsoft showing of its new xbox one dashboard

Microsoft revealed last week that it’s planning to  rebuild the Xbox One dashboard  with a focus on speed. While the software giant revealed common tasks will be faster, Mike Ybarra, head of platform engineering for Xbox, has now teased exactly what the new dashboard will look like. Microsoft is adding a new Xbox button part of the guide that slides into view, with the ability to quickly switch between recent apps or games without having to navigate back to the home of the dashboard. This subtle change could speed up the Xbox One dashboard significantly. One of the big issues of the current guide is heading back to home and watching the entire system slow down and lag, or refresh randomly. The new guide is accessible with a single button press, and it appears the old home concept will be replaced entirely with this quicker method. That should make the Xbox One guide a lot more like the Xbox 360 version, and just easier to use in general.  Windows Central  has ...
