Is YouTube Premium free for students?

Yes, YouTube Premium is free for students for 1 month during their free trial period. YouTube Premium will be £7.99 every month after and YouTube Premium Music will be £5.49 after the free trial.

YouTube will remind members 7 days before your trial ends in case you'd like to cancel. We also recommend putting a note in your calendar so you can cancel if you don't want to pay the monthly subscription cost.

Is YouTube Premium for students worth it?

It is a cost-effective solution if you're using YouTube regularly. You'll benefit from viewing ad-free video content and you can also download videos to your device so you can watch offline. YouTube Premium (£7.99/month) allows students access to YouTube Music too, so you can stream all the music you want, ad-free.

YouTube Music costs £5.49 a month for the Premium service and you'll get access to ad-free music, as well as being able to download music to listen on the go. Switch from audio to video quickly too.

How many members can I add to the YouTube family plan?

The family plan can be shared with 5 additional household members and costs a total of £16.99 per month, which if shared between 6 people is £2.83 each. According to YouTube, family members must live in the same household as the family manager.

This also means you could share the YouTube family plan with your housemates, so you can pay less per month.
