premium: YouTube Premium: How much it cost, benefits and more

Like every online streaming platform, YouTube also has its own version of paid subscription plan called YouTube Premium. The Premium subscription brings together several benefits over the free account. For instance, the subscription allows users to watch ad-free content on YouTube, the ability to save videos offline and more.
If you are wondering about the benefits that the YouTube Premium subscription offers and the pricing. Here’s everything you need to know about it.
YouTube Premium: Pricing and plans
YouTube is offering its Premium membership in multiple plans. The subscription usually costs Rs 139 per month without auto-renewal. However, if you choose to go with the auto-renewal option, the monthly subscription will cost Rs 129.
YouTube also has 3-month and yearly subscription plans. The 3-month plan costs Rs 399 and the yearly subscription plan is priced at Rs 1,290. It is important to note that both of these plans do not auto-renew. So, once it is over, users will need to buy them again.
Apart from all the above-mentioned plans, there’s one more plan, especially for students. This costs Rs 79 per month. A student, however, will be required to provide proper proof of being a student.
YouTube Premium: Benefits
YouTube Premium comes with several benefits and one of the most highlighted features is ad-free viewing. This means YouTube will not show any ads while watching. The Premium membership also allows users to download the videos for offline viewing and supports background and Picture-in-Picture playback.
YouTube Premium also includes a YouTube Music Premium subscription. So, a YouTube Premium member will have access to the YouTube Music app as well.

YouTube Music to go audio-only for non-premium users: All you need to know

YouTube Music is soon going audio-only for free users and will no longer play music videos alongside the audio. The platform recently announced via a detailed post that videos on YouTube Music will soon become exclusive to YouTube Premium or YouTube Music Premium subscribers.
Free users who aren’t subscribed to either of these plans will also miss out on features like on-demand music selection and unlimited skips.
YouTube Music will, however, continue to allow free users to access dedicated mood mixes on the platform. These include mixes for workout and commute with advertisements. The post, first spotted by 9to5Google also states that if free listeners have uploaded songs on the YouTube Music app, they can continue to play them anytime, on-demand.

Here’s a detailed list of features free and paid users will be able to experience.
Free users:
Listen to music in the background
