Add videos to your library

Buy or rent videos from the iTunes Store. Tap Store in the Videos app, or open iTunes Store on iPod touch, then tap Movies or TV Shows. The iTunes Store isn’t available in all areas. See Find music, movies, TV shows, and more.

Transfer videos from your computer. Connect iPod touch, then sync videos from iTunes on your computer. See Sync with iTunes.

Stream videos from your computer. To configure video streaming from your computer to iPod touch, turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer. On iPod touch, go to Settings > Videos, then enter the Apple ID and password you use for Home Sharing on your computer. Open Videos on iPod touch, then tap Shared.

Convert a video for iPod touch. If you try to sync a video from iTunes on your computer to iPod touch and a message says the video can’t play on iPod touch, you can convert the video. Select the video in iTunes on your computer, then choose File > Create New Version > Create iPod or iPhone Version. Then sync the converted video to iPod touch.

Delete a video. Tap Edit in the upper right of your collection, then tap on the video thumbnail. If you don’t see the Edit button, look for on your video thumbnails—those videos haven’t been downloaded to iPod touch, so you can’t delete them. To delete an individual episode of a series, tap the series, then swipe left on the episode in the Episodes list.

Deleting a video from iPod touch doesn’t delete it from the iTunes library on your computer or from your purchased videos in iCloud, and you can sync the video or download it to iPod touch again later. If you don’t want to sync a deleted video back to iPod touch, set iTunes to not sync the video. See Sync with iTunes.
