YouTube Premium typically includes ad-free viewing , offline downloads , background playback , and access to YouTube Music Premium. It can also include extra controls and some Premium-only features depending on device and region.

What you get

  • No ads on YouTube videos across the app and website.
  • Download videos for offline viewing.
  • Background playback so audio keeps playing when you switch apps or turn off the screen.
  • YouTube Music Premium access.
  • Extra Premium features like queueing on mobile, smart downloads, higher video quality, and some newer features such as jump ahead on supported videos.

A few notes

  • Some creator promotions inside videos may still appear, like merch links or sponsor segments.
  • Availability of certain features can vary by country, device, or app.
