This guide describes how to download a YouTube video and view it offline on your iPad. Using a third-party app to download movies is a violation of the terms of YouTube's user license agreement and may violate copyright laws, so most apps created for this purpose are removed from the App Store after some time.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Using YouTube Red

Step 1. Open the YouTube app
It has a white icon, with a white triangle surrounded by a red rectangle.

Step 2. Press your Google profile picture

- YouTube Red is a paid subscription service that allows you to download videos and view them online without violating YouTube's license agreement.

- Downloaded videos take up space on your iPad but can be viewed without an internet connection. If you have not purchased or recorded the video and you do not have permission from the creator, it is likely that owning a copy of the video is a violation of copyright laws. In most cases, downloading a video from YouTube is a violation of the end user license agreement.
