How to Activate YouTube Premium

YouTube is a popular and largest video-sharing platform that allows us to access content free of cost. It has many creative contents that would be suitable for all age categories. Over 2 billion active users have been reported monthly, with over 1 billion daily watch hours. But, the most annoying part while watching YouTube videos is the ads that pop up. So, YouTube has a subscription plan available in certain countries, offering ad-free, offline viewing options. To enjoy these benefits, all you have to do is to activate Youtube Premium.

Features of YouTube Premium

By subscribing to YouTube Premium, we get to enjoy many more benefits. However, it would depend on us, as in how much time we spend watching YouTube videos.

• Ad-free video streaming experience.
• YouTube Premium works offline without the internet, and it works in the background as well.
• We get access to YouTube Music Premium.
• We get access to exclusive content for YouTube Premium subscribers.

If you have installed the YouTube app on Smart TVs or streaming devices, you need to activate the YouTube app with your Google account to sync watching history and other data.

YouTube Premium Subscription Payment Plans

YouTube has some subscription plans for users, and we can choose one based on your requirement and criteria. The basic subscription plans start at $11.99 per month. However, YouTube offers its users a 30-day free trial to experience its features and benefits before paying for the subscription.

• For Individuals – we can get an unlimited ad-free streaming experience, access to YouTube Originals, watch videos offline, and a complimentary subscription to YouTube Music. It would cost $11.99 per month for a subscription.
• For Family – This plan would cost $17.99 per month, and we can enjoy all the benefits mentioned above. But addition, we can add up to five other family members under the same subscription plan.
• For Students – This plan would cost $6.99 per month, and the students can access all the features. But, we might have to submit the necessary proofs for verification as it would be eligible for students only.
