You also get access to other premium services like the ability to download videos and YouTube Music and get a higher-quality 1080p Premium video option, amongst other things.
YouTube Premium has a variety of plans that users can choose from. Something for individuals, Students, and even an entire family. If you’ve got an entire family that enjoys streaming music online but has individual streaming music accounts, you can save costs by sharing your YouTube Premium with them.
