Does YouTube Premium include YouTube Music?

Yes. Full YouTube Music Premium is bundled with YouTube Premium. Once you've joined the family group, just sign in to YouTube Music with the same Google account — there's nothing extra to activate or pay for.

What YouTube Music Premium gives you

1. Ad-free listening — no ads between songs or music videos.
2. Background play — music keeps playing when you switch apps or lock your phone, unlike the free tier.
3. Offline downloads — save songs and playlists to your device for flights or to save data.
4. Audio-only mode — play music videos as audio only to cut data usage.

How to confirm it's active

1. Install the YouTube Music app (or open music.youtube.com in a browser).
2. Sign in with the Google account that joined the family group.
3. Tap your avatar in the top right — if the menu shows your Music Premium membership, you're set.

Common questions

• Still showing the free tier? Make sure the app is signed in to the same account that accepted the family invite — switch accounts from the avatar menu if you have several.
• Do I pay anything extra? No. Music Premium comes with YouTube Premium. (Fun fact: a standalone YouTube Music Premium subscription costs money and *doesn't* remove ads on regular YouTube — this bundle is the better deal.)
