What are the specific benefits of a YouTube Premium subscription, going beyond just ad-free viewing? I’m interested in understanding the full value proposition. For example, how does background playback actually work across different devices (mobile, tablets, desktop)? What’s the process for downloading videos and are there limitations on how long I can keep them downloaded or what content I can download? How good is the YouTube Music Premium integration that comes with YouTube Premium? Is the audio quality superior? Does it offer features beyond what you get with the standard YouTube Music app? And lastly, are there any geographical limitations or restrictions on accessing specific YouTube Premium features in different countries? Basically, I want to know if YouTube Premium is worth the cost for someone who consumes a lot of YouTube and uses YouTube Music for music listening.

Answer

YouTube Premium offers several benefits:

  • Ad-free viewing: Watch millions of videos without any advertisements interrupting the experience. This includes pre-roll, mid-roll, and banner ads.

  • Background playback: Continue playing videos even when you switch to other apps or lock your phone. This is particularly useful for listening to music, podcasts, or long-form content.

  • Offline downloads: Download videos to your device to watch later without an internet connection. This is ideal for travel, commutes, or areas with limited connectivity.

  • YouTube Music Premium: Get ad-free listening, background playback, and offline downloads within the YouTube Music app. This allows you to enjoy your favorite music without interruptions and without consuming mobile data.

  • YouTube Originals: Access exclusive YouTube Originals series and movies.

  • Picture-in-picture (PiP) on iOS: On iOS devices, YouTube Premium allows picture-in-picture, enabling video to play in a small window while you use other apps.

  • Support for Creators: Your subscription helps support the creators you love, as they receive a portion of the subscription revenue.

  • Enhanced YouTube Music experience: More control within the YouTube Music app like uploading your own music and improved smart downloads.

  • Multi-Device Access: The benefits of YouTube Premium apply across all devices where you’re logged in with your Google account.
