This membership will be available very soon and will allow Share your account with another member of your home.
Although Youtube Premium already has an option for families, the new plan covers a segment that other companies have taken advantage of in their respective items. The most obvious example is Spotify Duo, which offers two memberships at a reduced price For those who do not need to share the cost with someone else. In this case, each user has An independent account in which they can mold the algorithm at will and create their reproduction lists.

How is the new Youtube Premium shared plan for two people
In the case of YouTube, the shared plan is focused on users over 13, which They must have a Google account and be part of the same family group. As with Spotify Duo, subscribers will have independent accounts to administer their content. Currently, the new Premium YouTube plan is in the test phase for a small group of users in France, Hong Kong, India and Taiwan.
The introductory price in India is 219 rupees (2.29 euros), a figure that although it will not translate to other markets, gives us an idea of what we could expect. In that country, the family plan costs 299 rupees (3.13 euros), so once it arrives in Spain, Mexico and the rest of Latin America It will be between the standard and family plan.
Another important detail is that YouTube Premium is not the only plan that can be shared with another person.
