No matter how many megabytes or gigabytes of Internet you have on your phone, it will always look a little bit, unless you have unlimited Internet. The truth is that many people are watching YouTube videos today from their smartphones. But the question is: How many megabytes do you consume when watching any video on YouTube?
100 MB consumption may seem great for a user who has only 1 GB of data in his phone, but for someone who has 10 GB of that number may not hurt him.


A technology portal created a approximate calculation of MB per minute when watching YouTube video, in addition to the quality of the video. Below is the average data consumption per video on YouTube by quality:
- Video resolution of 144p pixels: consume 1.90 MB per minute
- Fidelity accuracy 240 pixels: consumes 2.70 megabytes per minute
- Fidelity 360 pixels: consumes 4.40 MB per minute
- Video resolution of 480 pixels: consumes 7.70 MB per minute
- Video resolution 720p Pixels: consumes 14.50 MB using micro
- 1080p Video Resolution: Takes 27.61 MB per minute
For example, if you watch a four-minute, 15-second video, you might have consumed up to 62 MB if you chose 720p HD resolution. However, if you want to see it as a one-hour video with the same image quality, To 870 MB.
