Watching YouTube on your Nseries

You dont need to stick to only local video with your Nseries device, you can also view flash content online too, like YouTube.

There are two main ways to view Youtube videos on your Nseries device.

One is by going to YouTube.com using your device’s inbuilt browser.

This gives you the same effect as viewing them on your PC, and the same quality too.

But the more convenient way, and our second method, is by using the official YouTube application on your S60 device.

Since this is the official YouTube app for s60 by google, you know it works very well. You can view almost any YouTube video anytime anywhere using this app, as long as you have a fast enough network data connection.

To Download the update, head on over to m.YouTube.com from your Phone Browser. You should see a link at the bottom saying “Download the YouTube Application” if your Device is compatible.

The App is officially only compatible with S60 V3 devices (Eg: N95, N96, N82, N85,etc) only, but the app apparently works (albeit not very well) on S60 V5 Touch devices like the Nokia 5800. An official list of supported devices can be found here.

Tips for Movies on the Go

I’m sure you have read our How to Optimise movies for your S60 device post by now, so we wont go into detail on that again.

However, here’s a short list of Things to keep in mind :

- Once you optimise your movies, you can get it on your device via Bluetooth or USB. You can place it in any folder that you wish, or create a new one. Nseries devices can detect them wherever you place your videos.

- Remember, you can only store as many videos as your memory card has space for them. So check the size of your videos and make sure you have enough free space on your memory card (usually called microSD in the last couple of Nseries devices).

- Watching videos using your phone’s loudspeaker is okay, but you save more battery and get better sound quality when you use your headphones, so try that out whenever you can.

- Remember, with the newer set of Nseries devices, you can stop watching a video at any moment, and resume from where you left off later if you wish.
