Let us explore what this service offers and the different benefits it can provide.

Features of YouTube Premium

YouTube Premium is the streaming service from YouTube that provides subscribers with access to exclusive, ad-free videos, as well as a variety of other premium content. As a subscriber, you can enjoy the benefits of premium content such as music videos, live performances and even bonus scenes from your favorite YouTube shows.

How to Access YouTube Premium

Accessing YouTube Premium is easy. You can purchase a subscription to YouTube Premium directly from the YouTube website. Once you have a subscription, you can access all YouTube’s premium content through any device, including tablets, phones, and TVs that are connected to the internet.

If you already have an active YouTube account, your subscription will be linked to it so that you don’t need to create separate log-ins for different services. The same applies if you purchase the Google Play Music All Access bundle with a YouTube Red subscription—all of your content is linked under one account.

Not only will you get access to all of YouTube’s Premium content but also all of Google Play Music and Ad-free videos with some other additional features such as background audio and video downloads on mobile devices. Plus, if you subscribe directly via the web or on compatible devices (Apple TV, Chromecast) then you’ll also be able to watch live and exclusive events that are otherwise locked off from public viewership!

Benefits of YouTube Music and YouTube Premium

YouTube Music and YouTube Premium officially launched in the US, Canada, UK, and other countries after months of speculation and anticipation. Both services are part of Google’s larger efforts to dominate the streaming music market.

This article looks at the benefits of both YouTube Music and YouTube Premium and why they are worth considering if you’re a music fan.

Ad-free Music

YouTube Music and YouTube Premium are two subscription services that provide access to ad-free music and exclusive content.

With YouTube Music, users can stream music from top artists and their favorite bands, as well as rare tracks, remixes and more. Additionally, users will have the ability to view musician interviews, watch exclusive concerts and discover new music.

YouTube Premium users will have unlimited access to ad-free videos throughout YouTube, including original shows and movies across multiple genres with premium access. This feature allows users to watch what they want without having to sit through ads while they do it. Additionally, they’ll be able to download their favorite music videos, albums or playlists directly to their mobile device for offline listening.

With both subscription options, listeners will be able to keep listening even when outside of wifi range or prevent data from eating up their cellular plan by downloading songs for offline playback. For many people who listen a great deal of music on YouTube but still want the benefit of an uninterrupted listening experience without the annoyance of ads in between songs–both Music Premium and YouTube Premium provide an ideal solution.

Offline Music Downloads

With YouTube Music and YouTube Premium, you can save YouTube music and videos to watch offline on your phone. This allows you to keep listening to your favorite songs and videos without the need of internet connection or access to Wi-Fi. To do this, simply open the video or song that you want in the YouTube app, then tap the download button. You can also choose which quality of video or music to download in order to control your data usage if needed. Once it is fully downloaded, you will be able to listen at any time without using up mobile data.

Offline YouTube Music downloads require a valid subscription, but downloads that were made in offline mode don’t count against your storage limits. Enjoy access to millions of songs even when out of cellular range!

Background Playback

One of the key features of YouTube Music and YouTube Premium is the ability to continue playing music in the background, allowing you to use other apps while your music continues uninterrupted. This allows listeners to keep up with their favorite tracks and videos as they multitask or move around – an especially important feature for commuters, gymgoers, and others who want to avoid missing part of a song or video due to distractions.

Background playback is available on both YouTube Music Premium and YouTube Premium plans. However, with a YouTube Music Premium subscription, you can make sure you can play audio-only versions of songs without having to buffer every time you switch tasks. Background playback also lets users keep up with their music even if they deliberately lock their device or turn it off completely– regardless of whether they choose full album playback via shuffle or regular streaming mode respectively with YouTube Music Premium.

For those with mobile data caps, background playback also helps limit mobile data use at any given time which is a bonus for those who want the flexibility but need to save their data usage too. Lastly, background playback on both services offer access from different sources across multiple platforms including phones, tablets, TVs and home entertainment systems making it easier for listeners to access music when needed most.

Access to YouTube Originals

YouTube Music and YouTube Premium provide users with access to exclusive content on YouTube, such as original music tracks, live performances and interviews with top musicians from around the world. This access will be available through YouTube Music and YouTube Premium, giving users the ability to discover new content and music from the creators they admire.
