Surfing from India using NORDVPN and the YouTube premium sign up page is displaying the price in AED which I googled and is the currency of United Arab Emirates? This happening to anyone else? It works out to 5 euro a month when converted so not quite as good as rupees..

On Nord select India #102, that will give you the correct currency!

I had to change the country of one user(herself) and had to remove the payment type that was linked to that account.

Once done it worked

I can *invite* people no bother, but when you get to the very end stage, it doesn't allow it, saying you are in a different country to the family manager. Thankfully, I don't need to add anyone else for real.

It might be it works for some people and not for others, but you won't know until you try, will you? So safest to set up the Family first, if possible. I cettainly can't add anyone else (unless they go through a VPN rigmarole and set themselves up as being in the same payment country as me with a foreign address).

Yes, everyone signed up, no issues.

Nope, I just logged into my own YouTube account, activated Hola for India in Chrome and then subscribed to Premium (first month free). Added all my family members afterwards, no bother.

I had been using Vanced on my phone but that doesn't work on any TV, tablet, PC, laptop, etc. €2 p.m. is a steal for 6 heavy YouTube users.

So you just have to wait until premium ran out before resigning up yes?

Nope.

Cancelled my full-price Youtube premium around lunchtime yesterday. The cancellation took a few minutes to process.

When it had gone through, it said I still had member benefits up to 17th Jan - not sure if it's a standard thing that you get 5 days added on or whether that was my actual renewal date.

Either way, I had decided not to wait for this to expire, and signed up to the family pack at Indian prices around 7pm yesterday. Wanted to go with family-style premium so I could add family members, but I did seem to have the option to join the solo-premium. (I thought I clicked into it out of interest, but am not sure now... I think there was a rejoin button as well that I didn't click)

Sign up went through with no problems, and have had a celebratory night of watching tonnes of Youtube.

(I've been paying premium since the days of Youtube Red - but given the changes since then on what comes with Premium, this is a much fairer price that makes it worthwhile to keep on. And just in case anyone was wondering in relation to Youtube, I was being suggested tonnes of India-based videos on Youtube in November/December, but not one Indian recommendation in the last 4 hours of Youtubing! So unlike some of the other streaming services, the location you sign up at has a limited effect on my recommendations. Someday I hope Deezer stops recommending me Turkish dance music!)

Nord doing the same for me, Hola worked fine for me.
Single user sub, I got 4 months free and 129 rupees per month from May onwards (€1.44 approx)
Can't complain about that.

Nice one lads. Forgot about all my uploaded music on Google Play, which is about to expire shortly I think. Just transferring all those long lost albums over to YouTube now. Working out about €1.45 a month for the single account.

This is important if you're setting it up. Got to have members added (and invitations accepted) before you do the vpn trick.

I've just setup everything up and revolut says theres a temporary hold on my card??

No you don't need to convert on Revolut for it to work. Revolut will do the conversion out of your Euro account. The temporary hold should drop off shortly.

This is a common problem with Nord from what I've read. As another poster mentioned Hola should work.

Just done it for premium, so happy.

Yes, same for me with Nord. Tried multiple times connecting and disconnecting to the 2 available India choices.

After 10 minutes faffing about, I downloads hola temporarily and got connected and signed up no problem.

Some earlier posters asking about existing Youtube Premium members. I was an existing Youtube Premium member (was worth it back in the day when they made their own content). These are the steps I took to get Family membership in India:
Cancelled my current YouTube Premium membership (after cancelling I had one week left of premium benefits)

Set up a Google family here https://families.google.com/families - as per nephster's post above waited til all family members had accepted

Set up a VPN - my current one (AirVPN) didn't have India or Turkey so went with Surfshark (if you haven't looked at VPN features in a while, the bigger brands have come on a lot)

Just as an added step, I dug out my passport and finally finished registering for Revolut. I understand it wasn't necessary to use Revolut and you can use your normal card, but sure why not

Went to the YouTube Manage subscription page here: https://www.youtube.com/paid_memberships and clicked in to the Family Membership (if going solo, the premium link is also on this page)

Turned on the VPN and refreshed the page

Prices changed to Rupees

Clicked on the subscribe buttons - 10 rupees for the next week, then 189 for next month.

Only asked me for an Indian State - not a full address. (Dehli, by the way!)

That's it, access was instant.

Also, I would suggest making sure your family members you invite are their gmail addresses, just for ease of them using on their phones.

So you just have to wait until premium ran out before resigning up yes?

Don't know if this helps, but:

Started the sign up to Revolut just after work, so around 6-ish this evening.

After all the sign up,I just added 75 euro to my Revolut (amount chosen at random by me - no particular reason except I wanted enough to cover a few months of Youtube).

Then I realised account was limited until I verified my identity. Did the whole passport scan and selfie thing.
Also realised you have to go into settings and verify your email address.

Approx 50 minutes after starting the process - at exactly 6.50pm - I got an email that my Revolut account was now fully setup and I could use it to 'manage' my money. Jokes on them - I'll be using it to spend it instead!

Then I just entered the details as you would a normal mastercard debit card on the Youtube sign-up page mentioned in my previous post.

According to Revolut, this was about 7.12pm when I signed up to Youtube Premium, so the process took somewhere between and hour and an hour and a half.

I did not fill in anything on Revolut about India.

Snake Plisken

Just to repeat a question can you cancel your Google drive sub and take it out in india as well and save on the €1.99 per month similar to premium?

Same thing happened to me earlier on. There was a 2c charge on my Revolut card but it's been reverted now.

Like how?

Search spotify family, there's a post about three weeks ago. Same thing as you tube - use a VPN and sign up to whichever country it's cheapest in. You don't have to set up a family plan but it will work out cheaper if you have other members.

YouTube is fantastic this way.

Very tempted by Tidal. Been a Spotify family member for years but that's €15 a month. Main issue is knocking the rest of my family off it and Spotify works very well with Google home. Might just scrap Spotify for the moment and stick with YouTube music.
