How to Set Up a YouTube Music Premium Family Plan

This article explains how to set up a YouTube Music Premium Family Plan, and what benefits you can get.

How to Get Started With a YouTube Music Premium Family Plan

By default, YouTube Music Premium is designed for use by only one person. If you want to share it with additional people you need to first convert your YouTube Music Premium subscription into a YouTube Music Premium family subscription. After you have completed that task, you can invite up to five people to join your family plan.

1. Navigate to youtube.com/musicpremium/family, and click GET FAMILY PLAN.

2. Click Upgrade.

   This process will immediately upgrade your plan, and you will be charged to cover the increased cost. This charge applies even if you are currently taking advantage of a free trial.

3. Click Continue.

   If you prefer to add family members later, you can click NOT NOW.

5. Enter the email address of the person you want to invite, and click SEND.

   You can invite multiple people during this step if you like.

6. Click GOT IT.

7. Each person you invited will receive an invitation via email, and will be able to access YouTube Music Premium upon acceptance of the invitation.
