    Youtube Premium Individual or Family plans
    a) If you require a family plan, make sure you go to https://families.google.com/families and setup your family first.
    b) Get a VPN eg tunnelbear. Switch it on to Argentina or India
    c) Go to purchase youtube premium. Prices should be displayed in Indian Rupees or Argentinean Pesos.
    d) Use an address from google. Use revolut for cheapest rate.
    Once complete, turn off VPN and enjoy youtube premium.

    India: Individual €1.45, Family €2.10 monthly
    Argentina: Individual €1.15, Family €1.75 monthly






    Hi Guys,

    YouTube Premium Family package is €17.99/month for 5 members. That works out to €43.20 each a year. Anyone want to join my 'family'?

    Great deal.
    I pay about 2.80 a month for Turkey for family and have 4 users. Ideal for teens, no adverts.

    Can a VPN be setup solely for YouTube usage? I wouldn't want it on for my work connection etc.

    It's a once off to sign up for YouTube. Try one that has a free trial just for getting YouTube.

    Apologies, you are correct, i was thinking 169 rupees.
    I'm on 129 rupees single user. Don't see a need for family as they all share the history anyways.
    No ads is great, would never go back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,205 ✭✭✭Lucas Hood


    Same I watch a lot of YouTube. No ads is great.

    do you have to set up a new google/youtube account for this? or can you use your existing google/youtube account, just vpn into said country and add it from there?

    No need for new account.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,269 ✭✭✭Piriz


    so I'm interested but how do I join with you? do I pay you? how do I do that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,573 ✭✭✭Fingers Mcginty


    What VPN do you guys use for this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,730 ✭✭✭uli84


    Is it possible to do the same on Spotify?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 191 ✭✭neon123


    I wouldn't consider myself a luddite but have never used a VPN. Could someone suggest a decent one or guide on how to set up/use?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,098 ✭✭✭Johnny_Fontane


    I just did it. €4.47 for 3 months family. Download Tunnelbear.

    I had to fake an address for revolut card, as in the postcode part. just look up a postcode online.

    If you previously had a premium YouTube / Google music account could you get away with signing up with an Indian/Turkish address on that same amount?


  • Moderators, Regional South East Moderators Posts: 9,067 Mod ✭✭✭✭Aquos76


    I have youtube premium family through India for well over 12 months now, It was approx 2.40 a month when i signed up, but been about 2.10 p/m for the last few months now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,156 ✭✭✭✭Annasopra


    How do sign up with youtube thtough a vpn?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    use holavpn, download the chrome extension for it then choose India and it will open Youtube India then sign up using your Irish CC.


  • Moderators, Regional South East Moderators Posts: 9,067 Mod ✭✭✭✭Aquos76


    The simplest way is doing it via a desktop. Using Chrome, get a free VPN add-on like Hola but don't start it yet.

    If you want a subscription for a single person, go to YouTube and then start your VPN. Set it to India and click on "Get Premium".

    Google for "Fake Indian Address Generator" and just cut and paste the relevant data into the relevant fields.

    Enter your card details. Click "Pay" and you're good to go.

    If you're setting up a family plan, make sure that's set up BEFORE you go to YouTube and BEFORE you start your VPN.

    When you click "Get Premium" it'll automatically detect your family plan so you can invite family members to share your Premium easily enough. Just follow the same procedure for entering account details and pay.

    Does everyone in the family need to download the vpn to use this or is the VPN just needed for sign up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 561 ✭✭✭thenightman


    If you intend to use this on android only then just download Youtube Vanced APK and don't be giving Google more money. No ads, allows background play/play on lock screen and when using other apps.

    i use India in my VPN (Surfshark) but it's €5.38 for a single account as the currency us taken as Dirhams

    I use Vanced on Android, but find the less than €2 a month for YouTube Family (via Argentina, for me - was cheapest at the time; cost €1.74 this month) worthwhile as it includes YouTube Music, so I can play pretty much anything without audio ads. Great to get it to play the song you want when you ask it, rather than a "radio station" vaguely like it.

    This wasn't necessary until Google killed Google Play Music, as it would play my own uploaded tunes, but they did, so needs must. And nice to be able to get the Google Home to play anything I want to hear on a whim.

    Thanks for the BA. I logged into YouTube in Chrome, set Hola to India, subbed using my employers plant address over there and signed up no bother. Invites sent out to my family and everything set up.

    For €2 per month, that's a steal. My teenagers especially like the ability to stream music with YouTube running in the background. I had been using Vanced myself but it didn't work across all my devices and appeared to be causing some battery drain even when it wasn't running.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,254 ✭✭✭Esse85


    Brilliant value.
    I cancelled my Netflix and Spotify accounts as the YT premium is so good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,238 ✭✭✭leex


    If you're setting up a family plan, make sure that's set up BEFORE you go to YouTube and BEFORE you start your VPN.

    What is meant by this? Do you need to set up a free family account first before converting to Premium?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 434 ✭✭nephster


    leex wrote: »

    Yup. Add you family members, then fire up the VPN, go to the foreign site and subscribe. You'll need an address to put as your billing address; use the Irish Embassy or whatever :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 434 ✭✭nephster


    Does everyone in the family need to download the vpn to use this or is the VPN just needed for sign up?

    Just needed for the sign-up to Premium by the primary account. Can uninstall the VPN immediately after.

    Why Tidal ? You can just download the YouTube Music App instead. I know Tidal has better quality, but since most use bluetooth - I don't think the quality is preserved.

    Also if you download Brave browser you can access youtube through a web browser interface and get the same benefits as using vanced.

    I find ytube music lacks a lot whereas tidal is as good as Spotify. At the price on turkey, it's worth it.

    Just signed up for this using Hola on a desktop. Extremely simple. €1.45 a month using Revoult

    But people are saying that there's no need for a family account as a single sub can be used simultaneously across multiple devices?

    Or have I read that wrong?

    What are the steps to take if you are already a premium account holder? Do I need to set up a new account or is there a way to re-sign up using a VPN?

    luddite here btw!

    i don't think so - from my ltd reading it looks like the country of your card and the country of the spotify account have to match.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 115 ✭✭chillinpenguin


    Just a heads up on this. When you add people to your family it also adds them to your family Gmail calendar...father in law spying on us for weeks without knowing :mad::mad:

    You can use one account if you are happy logging your family into that Google account on their phones, which I suspect gives them access to its email etc. Less of an issue if you create the Gmail account you are to use specifically for this, I suppose.
    And so long you are happy with everyone's choices all being mixed together. You'd see all the videos everyone had watched in the History tab, and influencing suggestions on what to watch.

    I judged it worth the extra fiver or so a year for Family.

    If you have Netflix, it'd be like everyone using the same profile to watch, rather than using different profiles for the kids etc. under the one account.

    Isn't Hola one of the dodgier VPNs? It is "free"..

    I primarily use Youtube on the telly using the native app. If I have a family plan set up via my phone or laptop, should I have any issues using Premium on the telly?

    I have one account which I use on a phone and 2 TVs. Bar sharing history across all devices, they all use the premium account and can do so simultaneously. It's not like netflix where you can only have 1 device per slot running at a time.

    Problem with picking another country is your youtube music app is full of Indian/Turkish music in the playlists and new releases

    You need the VPN to sign up, not to continue to access.
    My YT on my TV has Irish music/new releases.

    K.
    I'm a bit confused my this.
    I've created a couple of new gmail accounts for our family, one of the kids, one for the adults.
    I've logged into YouTube with the Adults account, but for the life of me I can't find how to add family members without going through the 1 month trial of Premium.
    Anyone help an old man out?
