By making these popular videos available for temporary offline viewing, our partners will help fans connect more easily with their favourite content, while also helping bring more viewers to their videos,” stated Tania Aidrus, Head of Business Development at Google Asia Pacific.
YouTube also announced its launch of the You Tube Partner Program to video creators in Pakistan, allowing them to make money from their original works.
