Create a family group to share YouTube TV—and other Google apps and services—with up to 5 other members at no extra cost.
How family groups work on YouTube TV
- If you purchase a YouTube TV membership, you can create a family group. When you create a family group, you become the family manager.
- As the family manager:
- You can invite family members (13 or older) to join your family group.
- If you purchase extra subscriptions and packages, family members can view these add-ons from their accounts.
- As a family group member:
- You can build your own personal library of content in YouTube TV. Your viewing preferences and DVR are your own—we won't share your library or watch history with your family group.
- You and other family group members can view any extra subscriptions and packages purchased by the family manager.
- Sharing YouTube TV as part of a family group also lets you share other Google services with the same members. Learn more about family groups on Google.
