Premium YouTube subscribers now have access to an experimental feature that enables them to download their favourite videos on PC. When viewing content, a new download button is now present that enables subscribers to download videos from 144p to 1080p.

This is something that mobile users have had access to for a while, but we can see it especially being useful on PC. Having to resort to third-party means to download videos was often a pain in the past, so this will alleviate a lot of hassle for video editors and content creators. It's also great for building up a library of your favourite content that can be watched offline if you find yourself in the unfortunate position of not having internet access.

Thanks, Engadget.
