5. Watch it later
At many times, we come across awesome videos but are unable to
watch at the current moment. For videos that are embedded within
webpages, we can click the watch later icon on the bottom control bar
(next to YouTube icon) to add them to the playlists of your YouTube
page.

Another method is to use YouTube downloader
tool to download YouTube videos to local drive for later watching,
which also enables us to enjoy the downloaded videos on mobile devices
offline as long as they have been converted to device-compatible format
(MP4 or 3GP mostly).
6. Watch Live YouTube shows
In addition to uploaded YouTube videos, you can also enjoy live shows
provided by YouTube, which will be a great experience when something is
currently starring, such as the World Cup. Live shows come in
categories including featured events, sports, news & politics,
music, gaming, etc. You can even join live Google + hangouts.
