YouTube Premium is a great service, that is, a subscription that you can have on YouTube. It gives you the ability to watch YouTube commercial-free, listen to music with a locked cell phone, and more. But regardless, not everyone will like it. If you no longer want to pay for YouTube Premium, we’ll show you the easiest way to opt out.
But first, let’s point out some benefits of having YouTube Premium…
Why get YouTube Premium in the first place?
In short, having YouTube Premium means watching videos without ads, using YouTube as a music service (YouTube Music) and some other very useful things.
The YouTube subscription option debuted as YouTube Red in 2015, although the music listening service has been available since 2014 (Music Key). The availability of Google’s media services has varied in recent years depending on the market, i.e. countries, so somewhere Google Play Music was available, but YouTube Red and then YouTube Premium were not. That’s changed from two years ago, and users in many countries that weren’t interesting to Google have become a little less obscure on the world map of the Internet, at least when it comes to YouTube Premium.
Important things that come with the YouTube Premium subscription:
- watching clips in the background (the YouTube app does not have to be active for the video to play, you can listen to it through the YouTube app while doing something else on your phone or tablet)
- watching clips without commercials
- download clips to watch/listen offline
- picture-in-picture, where supported (except iOS)
- YouTube Music, Games and Kids
- YouTube Originals (formats available only on YouTube)
YouTube Premium is free for one month, then it’s $11.99 per month. A family package that allows you to add up to 5 accounts per subscription after a month of trial costs $17.99. Remember that you also need a card for the trial, which Google will charge a minimum amount when you activate the trial period.
A slightly less-mentioned benefit of YouTube Premium is the free Google Play Music service that comes with it, which is a counterpart to Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, and the like. Finally, it is interesting that background listening allows you to use YouTube as a podcast application.
The thing to keep in mind is that even with YouTube Premium, you won’t be able to view certain content that Google has flagged as “Harmful or Dangerous Content.” This is, for example, gambling related content, even though there are many channels that somehow managed to get away with such content and are not shut down.

Goodbye YouTube Premium…
And basically, that’s what you need to do to cancel your YouTube Premium subscription. But you will continue to enjoy the benefits of YouTube Premium until the date you pay for it. If you have another 15-day subscription, you will have all the benefits this subscription offers for another 15 days. It will not stop the moment you press the “Cancel” button.
Of course, during or after that period, you’ll be able to resubscribe to YouTube Premium if you change your mind.
