You can transition to youtube music though if/when google play music is shutdown.

Well and good, but what about all the stuff I've uploaded to my Google music?

Gone I'd say

Doomofman · 14-10-2019 3:31pm

Really stupid question, is the VPN just required for sign up? But not actually required all the time?

Yes, just for the sign up.

Got youtube premium thanks for the posts. Worse case is 50c or so a week for no ads

I would love a thread set up for stuff like this as a poster suggested. Especially when you look at that OneDrive deal, Cloud storage is a must now

mailburner · 15-10-2019 11:52pm

just signed up using hola which is free

no problems at all

used this as an address and used my revolut account

Typed in "1 Janpath" and it gave me an autosuggestion and then auto-filled the details of wherever the hell it is
Submit

I'm beginning to get worried with the Indian YouTube trick, my payment has been pending since 13th.

Using revolut, can't seem to create a rupee's wallet within the app either.

Edit, lots of other stuff that I spent in Ireland (as in Bricks and Mortar) is still pending too.

False alarm I think.

I tried to use Hola but it couldnt work to sign up despite setting country to India. Pricing on Google still appeared in euro or dollars.

Used Hola for Mac with Chrome plugin

Any tips?

fergus1001 · 18-10-2019 7:53am

used tunnel bear on my phone and signed up for youtube premium for 99 chicken korma's (Ã¢â€šÂ¬1.50) on my account now to see when I get caught !

How do google monitor if at all the one residential address aspect of the Youtube Premium Family account? Also since the family account enables access to the manager plus 5 family members what exactly is an access point given the proliferation of mobiles, laptops, televisions and google home devises all having access to Youtube services. For example can one family member have simultaneous logins to multiple devices and they all only count as one user provided only one device using a live stream.
Concluding question, is it possible to share a family account with family members of different fixed abodes similar to the simultaneous steam limitations with Netflix?

Ya, I signed up via Indian method (I used tor and switched the ExitNodes to in), zero hassle involved.

Tried this to test and while it's correctly showing Indian Rupee for the likes of Netflix, Youtube thinks I'm based in the Philippines where Youtube Premium in not available.
Switched to Russia and prices are correctly in RUB of 299 for family account (about €4.20) so switched back to India and entered the link https://www.youtube.com/premium but prices showing as $17.99 which is nearly as bad as here but in EUR. Not sure what I'm doing wrong as it sees my location as Byculla West, India for local weather.

Klingon Hamlet · 19-10-2019 12:28am

Can you use an existing account? I read on hukd that the first month works but then it reverts back to full price.

Weird, I tried a while ago and got same (Philippines). I've been on Indian YouTube for a few months, no issues. Last payment was €2.40.

Could you try a vpn instead maybe?

I tired Indian premium with hola and revolut, worked a charm for a family account 189 rupees

grimm2005 · 29-10-2019 10:10pm

Fantastic deal! Thanks OP and everyones input, just signed up there using NordVPN and choosing India. 189 ruppees (around €2.40) for a family plan. Double checked account after turning off VPN and price is still listed in rupees so hopefully works okay after the trial. Used revolut account to pay.

Edit: Noticed a slight unintended consequence of signing up in India, on Youtube Music some of the default recommendations are for India's charts and some recommendations are for Bollywood playlists but I've fed it tonnes of artists i like which is pushing out a lot of that and I also found a handy free tool for converting my spotify playlists to YTM @ https://www.tunemymusic.com/

Thanks for the tips. Registration was successful for me and I sent a two invites to my family members. When they click on the invite I sent the following message shows up. Family members are not able to accept my invitation.

"Looks like you're in a different country than the family manager."

Has anyone got the above message and were able to fix it?

Are people adding Indian Rupees to the Revolut wallet or just letting Revolut take care of euro to rupee transaction?

Just letting revolut sort it. My family monthly sub 189 rupees works out @ €2.40 give or take couple of cent

tony1980 · 03-11-2019 1:35pm

It shows as AED when I use Nord to connect to India. Anyone else get that when trying?

Edit: Figured it out, issue with the server I chose.

deadl0ck · 03-11-2019 6:16pm

Nice one !
Used my VPN (VPN Unlimited) to sign up from an Indian IP.

harpstilidie · 05-11-2019 10:18am

Managed to get the family premium deal but get the following message when trying to add family members...

"Looks like you're in a different country than the family manager."

Can anyone help? I tried opening the link up via an incognito tab as a previous poster done but no luck I'm afraid.

Edit: Got sorted. Had to delete payment profiles and have only 1 active.

You didn't switch your country to India in your profile by any chance?

Got sorted thanks. I had 3 payment profiles set up which seems to confuse google so I just deleted 2 and it worked.

Pacifico · 06-11-2019 9:24pm

What's the actual procedure for this? Is it a case of just setting a VPN to India and signing up to YouTube premium?!

Yep, once set up you don't need VPN again...

Cool so you don't need to change your address on your Google account to India or anything?

jonnny68 · 06-11-2019 10:22pm

why bother, download the Tube Mate app for free it allows you to download YouTube videos and convert to MP3 ,etc if necessary

The ability to play videos in background or floating and YouTube music is handy for a euro a month

monkeysnapper · 06-11-2019 10:56pm

I just did all this and it says 99 rubee a month ...which I converted to 1 euro 25c is that right ????

Am I missing something ??

glic83 · 07-11-2019 1:06am

Think that price is just for the music as a stand alone

When signing up I had to add an Indian billing address, I used their house of parliament..

You can watch videos without ads on any device (smart TV, android, ios, Windows, etc). Background playback. YouTube music. It's less than €2...

quazzy · 07-11-2019 10:04am

OK I got sorted and managed to subscribe via India (using HOLA VPN)

I set up a family account and both myself and OH are up and running.

One thing I noticed is that I'm still seeing ads on the you tube app or youtube website.

Just wanted to check if others are experiencing the same.

The music app is working fine (and that's the main thing) but I'd be interested to hear back from others as to this behaviour

Just wanted to clarify that I subscriped to the YouTube Music Subscription , not 100% sure if the You Tube Premium is slightly different etc...

Had this myself, turned out I wasn't subscribed to YouTube premium itself, just the music end of things.

Simple test is to see if it says premium on your YouTube app.

That's it 100%.

I didnt subscribe to YouTube Premium but the YouTube Music App instead.

If anyone is interested its - 149 Rupees a month ~1.90 euro for Family plan.

I'm not too bothered about having YouTube Premium to be honest - I only wanted a new music app to replace my deezer (after my year ran out).

Thanks for confirming

Maybe get your OH to sign up for the Family account and then invite you as a member (then cancel your own version)

There is a new app available called YouTube Music - check the play store for it.

Possibly a great deal on youtube premium
