With Premium Lite, you won't get ads on videos like gaming, fashion, beauty, news and more. However, ads may still appear on music content, Shorts, and when you search or browse.
Premium Lite also offers background play and downloads for most videos. Background play enables you to play videos on your mobile device while using other apps or when your screen is off. The downloads feature enables you to download videos and playlists to watch offline when you aren't connected to the Internet. These features are not available on Shorts or on music content, such as official/premium music videos, Art Tracks and children's songs, as well as user-generated content that includes content from our music partners (e.g. covers, dance videos or a vlog with a popular song in the background).
Premium Lite does not include YouTube Music Premium or additional features such as continue watching, Jump Ahead, queuing or high-quality audio and video, and more. Learn more about Premium benefits on YouTube.
