YouTube Premium & support for creators

As a YouTube Premium member, you can enjoy benefits, like ad-free videos, while still supporting your favorite YouTube creators.

How YouTube Premium supports creators

Creators are the heart and soul of YouTube. To make sure they're compensated for their work, we share ad revenue with them when you watch ads on YouTube. If you're a YouTube Premium member, you won't see ads, so we share your monthly membership fee with creators. Best of all, the more videos you watch from your favorite creators, the more money they make.

Cost for premium features

Like other paid membership services, YouTube Premium gives you the option to pay for a bundle of premium features on YouTube. With background play, access to YouTube Originals, and the option to download videos to watch offline you get great value from your membership. With a YouTube Premium account, your YouTube experience is amplified while making sure creators continue to be compensated for their content.
