How to subscribe to Youtube Premium and Youtube Music Premium?

Youtube has been a one-stop destination for streaming videos and music in India.  Since now we used to stream music from music streaming apps such as Saavn, Gaana, Google Play Music or Spotify (which launched their services in India just a few weeks ago) because there were major issues with streaming music from Youtube. Firstly you don’t get to listen to music while in the background, also it consumes a lot more data because you have to stream the video together another major issue was the interrupting Ads which spoils the whole experience. To overcome this issue Google Recently Google launched the Youtube Music and Youtube Premium (Formerly Known as Youtube Red) subscriptions in India.

 

Youtube Premium

What is Youtube Music Premium?

Youtube Music Premium is a paid membership for the Youtube Music app and desktop site. It features all the music related content from individual creators as well as music from artists in one place. Having a premium subscription will let you listen to millions of songs available on youtube without ads interruptions. You can listen to music in the background and use other apps as well. You can also download and listen to your songs even when you are offline.

The service is very much similar to what we have seen from other apps like Gaana, Amazon Music or Saavn but Youtube being one of the largest libraries for Video and Music you get to see a lot more content which is not available on other music streaming apps.

What is Youtube Premium?

Just like Youtube Music, Youtube Premium is another Paid subscription for Youtube, Youtube Gaming, and Youtube Kids services. On Normal Youtube, you are welcome to watch all the videos but the catch is: It shows ads. You simply cannot watch a without watching a 10 to a 20-second advertisement in the beginning or you have to watch multiple ads between the video which ruins the experience and also distracts you.

With Youtube Premium, you get all the benefits from Youtube Music Premium plus you can watch millions of videos available on youtube without ads. You can play videos in the background while using other apps like WhatsApp or Facebook and even when your screen is off which is not available in the free version of Youtube. You can also download videos or the entire playlist and watch them later multiple times on your device when you are offline. Lastly, you get access to all the Youtube Original shows and movies from your favorite stars and actors. It also lets you watch Youtube Kids and Youtube Gaming ad-free and also includes Google Play Music.
