YouTube cracks down on loophole in Premium family plan

If you have been using a YouTube Premium family plan to share benefits with individuals outside of your household, be aware of recent developments. According to Android Police, the Google-owned video platform is beginning to crack down on this practice. Some users have reported receiving emails notifying them that their Premium service will be paused in 14 days due to not being in the same physical location as the primary account holder. YouTube Premium’s family plan allows up to five additional members to join for $23 per month.

Policy Enforcement and Future Outlook

This policy was actually implemented by YouTube back in 2023, but enforcement has only recently begun. While the crackdown has not been widespread yet, the platform performs location checks every 30 days. It is possible that more users will start facing interruptions in the near future. Remember to keep an eye on your email for any notifications.
