      I will show you the storage location of Youtube Offline Downlaoded Videos in Phone. Any video downloaded from YouTube will go to the internal storage of the phone. Follow the below storage path to find Offline Youtube videos.

      Internal storage/Android/data/com.google.android.youtube/files/Offline/(system generated folder name)/streams

      Above mentioned is the location of the downloaded videos. Infact anything downloaded or cached file of a particular app (not only YT) is saved in internal storage only.

      Can we really assess the downloaded video?

      No. We can find the downloaded file but can’t shift them elsewhere like on a SD card and share them directly. It won’t be playable anywhere. The downloaded file is specific to your phone only and won’t work elsewhere. The format it is downloaded is not mp4 or mkv it is .exo. .EXO files are encrypted to prevent sharing and other stuffs, See how to convert .exo files to mp4. Even if you have one offline video stored in your phone you can find more than one .exo file under Internal Storage/Android/data/com.youtube.com directory. They are nothing but the encrypted .exo files that can only be opened through the YouTube App.

      When you request a download for an offline video in the YouTube app, the video is downloaded in chunks. For example, a 3-minute file we downloaded was saved in five parts. It is possible that only the YouTube app for Android can make sense of these chunks and join them together.

      There are chances that real time encryption is going on here. When the video is downloaded, not only it is broken into parts but is also converted to EXO format, compressed and encrypted in real time. This has several benefits, the one obvious benefit is that people can’t copy-paste the video and share it indiscriminately.

      The compression, meanwhile, saves space on the disk. For example, the 3-minute long video that we downloaded actually consumed around 40MB data. But when stored on the phone, the video took only around 25mb space. When a user plays the video, it is decrypted in real time. It is possible that only YouTube’s app can do this decryption.

      So, in other words, we can see the file but can’t do anything with it. Any communication of videos will happen through the YT app only.

      When you download a video from YouTube to watch offline on your phone, the video is saved to the internal storage of your device in the YouTube app’s cache folder.

      The specific location of the folder varies depending on the device you’re using, as well as the version of the YouTube app you have installed. However, you can usually locate the folder by following these steps:

      1. Open your device’s file manager app.
      2. Go to the internal storage of your device.
      3. Look for the folder named “Android.”
      4. Open the “Android” folder, and then open the folder named “data.”
      5. Look for the folder named “com.google.android.youtube.”
      6. Open the “com.google.android.youtube” folder, and then open the folder named “files.”
      7. Look for the folder named “offline.”
      8. Your downloaded YouTube videos should be located in this “offline” folder.

      see is it possible to remove all watched videos on youtube at once.

      Please note that some Android devices have different file paths or folder names, so the exact location of the folder may vary slightly.
