It offers subscribers access to live TV, recordings of shows, and a library of movies and shows to watch on demand.

But how much does it cost? And how can you create and manage your own channel lineup? For those questions and more, this article has you covered.

We’ll discuss topics including how to set up a family account and how to cancel YouTube TV subscription on various devices. Let’s get started!

How Much Does YouTube TV Cost?

If you crave premium content, including live sports, live shows, and global news, you may wonder how much YouTube TV will set you back each month. Luckily, it’s only $64.99/month for access to over 85 channels. There is also a Spanish language package at $24.99/month. This plan goes up to $34.99 after the first six months.

To sweeten the pot, no commitment is required. This implies you can cancel anytime (We’ll go over that a bit later). Plus, there are no equipment rental fees and no hidden charges. You also get six accounts per household, each with its own unique recommendations and DVR with unlimited space.

To start, you need a Google account and a compatible device. You can set up an account and manage your channel lineup on the web, through the Android app, or on iOS devices.

How Do Family Groups Work On YouTube TV?

YouTube TV offers family groups, so you can easily share your account with up to five others. While you can invite members to the group, each person must be 13 years or older and have good network coverage and a valid Google account. Also, members can watch YouTube TV on as many as three devices simultaneously.

You become the group manager when you set up a family group and manage membership from the settings menu. As the group manager, you control the subscription and content restrictions. You can also add or remove people from the group and cancel the subscription. Remember, simultaneous streams on a mobile device and a computer will count against your three-device limit.

How to Pause YouTube TV Membership?

Here is one of the great features of YouTube TV: you can pause the membership with just a few clicks. This could happen if you’re on vacation or just need to take a break from watching TV. When you pause membership, you still have access to all your purchased content, but you will not have access to any new content.

However, your previous recordings will remain in your DVR for 9 months. You can accomplish this from the settings menu on the web or in the app. Remember that you can only do this once every six months. Also, users can cancel their YouTube TV membership at any time (we’ll discuss this shortly)

To pause YouTube TV membership:

Sign in to your account on your favorite web browser or the app.
Tap on your profile avatar located in the top-right corner.
Click Settings Membership.
Use the slider to select how long you want to take the break. You can pause for as short as a month or up to six months.
Click Pause Membership.

If you need to cancel a YouTube TV membership, it’s easy to do from the settings menu. Just keep in mind that once you cancel, you will lose access to all of your live TV, DVR recordings, and purchased content. However, you will still have access to your previously recorded shows for up to nine months.
