Join YouTube Red
YouTube Red is a paid membership, available in certain countries, that gives you an amplified video and music experience across YouTube, YouTube Music, YouTube Gaming, and YouTube Kids. There are several great benefits included in your YouTube Red membership:
- Ad-free videos: Watch YouTube videos without ad interruptions on your computer, on compatible smart TVs/gaming consoles, and on the YouTube, YouTube Music, YouTube Gaming, and YouTube Kids mobile apps.
- Save offline: Save videos and playlists on your mobile device to watch offline, when you aren’t connected to the internet. This benefit is available on the YouTube, YouTube Music, YouTube Gaming, and YouTube Kids mobile apps.
- Background play: Continue playing videos on your mobile device while using other apps or when your screen is off. This benefit is available on the YouTube, YouTube Music, YouTube Gaming, and YouTube Kids mobile apps.
- Free Google Play Music subscription: Included at no additional cost.
- YouTube Red Originals: Watch original series and movies from some of YouTube’s biggest creators, right when they are released and at no extra cost.
If you are a Google Play Music subscriber, you already have access to YouTube Red; just make sure that you’re signed into the same account on YouTube and Google Play. Note that both services must be available in your location for this to work.
Rented and purchased movies or TV shows and paid channel subscriptions are not compatible with YouTube Red benefits. Learn more about YouTube Red benefits and support for creators.
