offline viewing

Watch without internet

Offline viewing is watching or accessing content without an internet connection—typically video, articles, or documents downloaded in advance for later consumption.

Streaming services offer offline viewing for travel or areas with poor connectivity: I downloaded a few episodes for offline viewing on the flight.

The feature acknowledges that constant connectivity isn't universal.
