YouTube Premium has excellent advantages, so why not share them? Set up a YouTube Premium Family which allows you to share the benefits of your YouTube subscription with up to five people in your household. Here’s how to create a YouTube family and manage family members once you’ve created a family group.
This article assumes that you’ve already set up a YouTube Premium family plan. If you haven’t, you can sign up for the free trial of the YouTube Premium Family plan, but keep in mind that it’s only valid for 30 days before the subscription price is charged to the card you’ve registered.
