iCloud video offline

Hi! I use iCloud library. I would like to be able to watch certain videos on my iPhone/iPad when I am offline, but some are downloaded and some are not. How can I define which video must be downloaded? Thanks for helping!

No. They are on iCloud. On my iPhone in the cloud settings I decided to choose to optimisé iPhone storage, as my iCloud library is huge.

But sometimes I am offline and I need to show some videos and some are downloaded on my iPhone and some are not.

I would like to be able to decide which one is accessible offfline and which one is not.

No I am not.

everything is working fine, the only thing I am trying to solve is that when I have no internet connection I would like to have a few videos that are on my iPhone so I can show them.

some are stored on my phone and on iCloud, some are only watchable when I have an internet connection. I would like to be able to chose which one

I'm not following how some videos can be simultaneously stored on your phone and in iCloud because it's either or. Once iCloud is enabled, all photos/videos are stored in iCloud Photos. If it isn't enabled, then all photos/videos are stored on the device.

Perhaps your next option -- Get Support.

You cannot as you have to decide which video to download to the device or not.

If the videos are stored in iCloud Photos, then all of them should be available to you. If they aren't then that's an issue. If your "iCloud library is huge" are you short on space?
