how to download you tube videos for offline viewing on a mini i pad

If you use a third party Web browser, like Mozilla Firefox and install a third party YT download extension from Mozilla's extensions/add-on library, you will be able to download YT videos to your PC and using Apple iTunes, copy these YT videos to iTunes.

Then connect your iPad to your PC, using iTunes sync these YT videos to your iPad.

No YT subscription needed.

You may have to pay a relatively small one time fee to the developer of the Firefox YT extension maker for the use of these downloader estension, but that is it.

It will take some time to download these YT videos, using these YT download extensions/add-ons for Firefox, but most of these do work.

I use one of these Firefox YT downloader extensions all the time do download content from YT.

Best of Luck to You!

Without Wifi or a cellular data connections you can't stream/watch YouTube videos, at all?

So, downloading them is the least of your issues.

iOS devices need to an wireless connection/network to be able to be used on the Internet.

Also,

Can you please confirm what year and model iPad do you have/own?

The “A” model number can be found on aluminium back of your iPad in small print right under the larger bold print “iPad”.

What iOS/iPadOS version is this iPad, currently, running?

What is the rated, internal data storage space/capacity of your iPad model and how much of this free, internal data storage capacity is left inside of your iPad model?

Please answer all questions asked.

If you are YouTube premium subscriber, you can download YouTube videos and watch them inside the YouTube app without the need for connection later.

To download the video, click the download button above the video, next to like and dislike button.

How would you download it with an internet connection?

I believe you also need a subscription to YouTube Premium to download videos for offline viewing.

Do you own a real computer, like a Mac or Windows PC?
