In its endeavour to improve user experience, YouTube has announced the launch of an offline feature on its mobile app.
This new feature allows users to watch their favourite YouTube videos on their mobile app whenever they like, without having to worry about poor data connection or data cost.
Buffering can actually ruin the whole experience for an online video watcher as it drives the fun out of watching videos. This was the starting point of a campaign conceived by Lowe Lintas Delhi.
Google India director, marketing Sandeep Menon said, “Indians love watching videos online, and YouTube is the go-to destination for any video content online in India.
We wanted to offer our users a great new way to enjoy their favourite content without having to worry about poor data connections and high cost of data.
That’s where YouTube Offline feature plays an integral role and allows users to access content at their own pace.
We are excited with the way our new film has turned out and hope that the audiences will relate to the common issue we all face on our mobile phones and embrace the offline way to enjoy YouTube.”
The TVC shows how buffering can get people to react in a strange manner while they wait for their videos to download.
The reaction from people across the country was captured in the communication, just to re-emphasize how buffering can drive the fun out of watching YouTube videos.
Lowe Lintas executive director Shriram Iyer commented, “YouTube, with its offline feature, has made the experience even richer. Watching videos online comes with a glitch called ‘buffering’.
The stalling of a video spoils the experience. The idea really stems from there. Our team explored the idea of visually exploring the ‘buffering’ graphic, in a symbolic manner.
Human heads rolling in circles, in a way, aping the buffering sign going round and round, was our comic tribute to the problem all of us face every day while watching videos online.
The commercial takes a potshot at the problem and then presents YouTube Offline as the solution to this daily grievance.”
