How to Upgrade Your Individual YouTube Premium to a Family Plan
Do you currently have a YouTube Premium individual plan, but are looking to share the benefits with your family? Upgrading your plan to a Family plan is a great way to enjoy ad-free YouTube, YouTube Music Premium, and YouTube Originals on multiple devices, while saving money. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Check your eligibility:
- Make sure your current YouTube Premium plan is active. You can’t upgrade to a family plan if your individual plan is paused or canceled.
- Confirm your location. Family plans are not available in all countries or regions.
2. Open your YouTube Premium settings:
- Log into your YouTube account.
- Go to your YouTube Premium settings. You can find this by clicking your profile picture in the top right corner of the YouTube website, and selecting "Settings."
- Select "Membership."
- Look for the "Family Plan" option. If your account is eligible for an upgrade, you'll see an option to switch to a Family Plan.
3. Invite family members:
- Click on "Family Plan."
- Follow the instructions to invite family members. You can invite up to five family members to share your YouTube Premium benefits.
- Family members must have their own Google account.
4. Confirm the upgrade:
- Review the updated pricing and terms.
- Confirm your upgrade.
Key things to remember:
- The family plan costs more than an individual plan. However, the cost per person is significantly less when you share the plan with multiple people.
- All family members will have access to the same features. This includes ad-free YouTube, YouTube Music Premium, and YouTube Originals.
- The family manager can add or remove family members at any time.
- You can only switch from an individual plan to a family plan if you're eligible. Check your account settings for more details.
Upgrading to a Family plan is a great way to enjoy all the benefits of YouTube Premium with your loved ones. It's a cost-effective way to share the YouTube experience with your family while saving money.
