It offers many of the ad-free benefits of regular YouTube Premium, but with some important limitations. ([blog.youtube](https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/introducing-premium-lite/?utm_source=openai))\n\n**Key features included:**\n- Most regular YouTube videos are ad-free (e.g. gaming, tutorials, cooking, news, fashion) ([techcrunch.com](https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/05/youtube-launches-a-7-99-per-month-ad-free-premium-lite-subscription/?utm_source=openai))\n- Works across devices like phones, tablets, desktops, and smart TVs ([blog.youtube](https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/introducing-premium-lite/?utm_source=openai))\n\n**Key limitations compared to full Premium:**\n- Ads *may still appear* in:  \n  - music videos and music content ([techcrunch.com](https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/05/youtube-launches-a-7-99-per-month-ad-free-premium-lite-subscription/?utm_source=openai))  \n  - Shorts, search or navigation surfaces in the app ([getafollower.com](https://www.getafollower.com/blog/youtube-premium-lite/?utm_source=openai))  \n- No background play (you can\u2019t listen with screen off or while using other apps) ([businesstoday.in](https://www.businesstoday.in/amp/technology/news/story/youtube-brings-premium-lite-with-reduced-pricing-no-background-play-467057-2025-03-07?utm_source=openai))  \n- No offline downloads of videos or YouTube Music content ([businesstoday.in](https://www.businesstoday.in/amp/technology/news/story/youtube-brings-premium-lite-with-reduced-pricing-no-background-play-467057-2025-03-07?utm_source=openai))  \n- YouTube Music Premium is *not* included ([businesstoday.in](https://www.businesstoday.in/amp/technology/news/story/youtube-brings-premium-lite-with-reduced-pricing-no-background-play-467057-2025-03-07?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Pricing & Availability\n\n- In the **U.S.**, Premium Lite costs **US$7.99/month**. For reference, full YouTube Premium is about $13.99/month. ([techcrunch.com](https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/05/youtube-launches-a-7-99-per-month-ad-free-premium-lite-subscription/?utm_source=openai))  \n- In **Spain**, it\u2019s \u20ac7.99/month, while regular Premium is \u20ac13,99/month. Similar pricing differences are seen in other countries. ([en.androidguias.com](https://en.androidguias.com/YouTube-Premium-Lite-arrives-in-Spain--price-limits--and-how-to-sign-up./?utm_source=openai))  \n- Premium Lite is available (or being rolled out) in countries including the **United States, Germany, Australia, Thailand, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, and Great Britain**. ([blog.youtube](https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/introducing-premium-lite/?utm_source=openai))  \n\nDo note that rollout is gradual and not every user in the eligible countries can sign up immediately. Some see a message like \u201cYou\u2019re not yet eligible for Premium Lite.\u201d ([9to5google.com](https://9to5google.com/2025/05/21/youtube-premium-lite-is-expanding-to-more-countries/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## How to Sign Up\n\nIf Premium Lite is available to you, here are the steps to sign up:\n\n1. **Go to**: youtube.com/premiumlite ([9to5google.com](https://9to5google.com/2025/05/21/youtube-premium-lite-is-expanding-to-more-countries/?utm_source=openai))  \n2. **Log in** with the Google/YouTube account you want to use.  \n3. **Check if you see the option** for Premium Lite. If your account is eligible, you\u2019ll be able to subscribe directly from that page. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1jg77ut?utm_source=openai))  \n4. If you have an existing YouTube Premium subscription, you may need to wait until it ends or cancel it before you can switch to Lite. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1jg77ut?utm_source=openai))  \n5. If you\u2019re using an iOS device, sometimes the purchase options differ (subscription options might route through the App Store). In such cases, signing up via web browser tied to the Google account can help. ([danielbrinneman.com](https://danielbrinneman.com/2025/04/24/youtube-premium-lite/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me your country or state, I can check if Premium Lite is fully available in your location, and show you the exact steps for your situation. Do you want me to check that?"
