2 Methods to Watch YouTube Video with Android Mobile

In recent years, as the Nokia is marching downhill, two operating systems have dominated the mobile market: iOS and Android. Though Apple has gained great success with its iPhone, Android mobile has gained the lion’s share in the mobile market with continuous innovations of HTC, Samsung, Huawei and Motorola mobiles. Nowadays the competition between iPhone and Android mobile is turning white-hot.

As the competition goes on, more and more lawsuit cases are brought out to the agenda. Android devices like HTC mobiles and Samsung Galaxy Tab are banned in America for patent infringement. Moreover, Android mobiles like HTC Evo 4G and Samsung Galaxy S3 are viewed as a powerful foe of the latest iPhone since their release.

With open systems and numerous apps, Android mobile enables users to take full advantage of its powerful functions. Moreover, the big screen of some Android mobiles makes them ideal devices to watch YouTube videos. Therefore, this post will present two methods to watch YouTube video with Android mobile.

I. YouTube for Android

Though Adobe Flash is excluded in the latest Jelly Bean, other Android systems like Android 4.0 can perfectly support this plug in for online video watching. Therefore, Android users can easily get access to YouTube videos with their mobiles via corresponding apps like YouTube for Android, an official app for Android mobile.

However, not all the android mobile users can take full advantage of YouTube for Android because mobiles with systems lower than Android v2.4 or higher than Android v4.0 can’t get access to the app. Moreover, errors may occur while users are enjoying YouTube videos. The mobile screen may be covered with different colors and users can’t see those videos they have uploaded.

II. Moyea YouTube Downloader

Another way to help users to watch YouTube videos with Android mobile is to download and convert YouTube videos to the video files supported by Android mobile. One needs to operate the whole process in the computer without worrying about the uncertain mistakes or compatibility issues appeared in the previous method.

1. Download and launch Moyea YouTube Downloader. Open it, click “New” icon and then paste the URL address of the desired YouTube video to URL bar. Click “OK” button to start the conversion.

2. When the downloading completes, right click the video and chose “Convert” option to enter Convert panel.

3. Set the output video as MP4 file for the Android mobile in the drop-down menu of “Profile“.

4. Click “Settings” button to enter Settings panel. Then customize video parameters including video codec, video bit rate, etc. in the panel. After that, click “OK” to start the conversion process.

5. When the conversion finishes, users can enjoy YouTube videos with their Android mobiles now.

Those are the two methods to play YouTube videos on Android mobile. Though the first method is quite easy and simple, it fails to be applied to all Android systems. The second one is quite complicated but it can help users to enjoy YouTube videos with mobile phones flawlessly.
