Use this interactive demo to learn how to stop your YouTube Premium subscription in minutes.

Quick summary

This demo walks you through how to cancel YouTube Premium directly from your account settings in just a few clicks. You can also choose to pause your membership for up to six months instead of cancelling permanently.


Steps

  1. Go to youtube.com and sign in to your account.
  2. Click your profile picture in the top right corner, then select Purchases and memberships.
  3. Under your YouTube Premium subscription, click Manage membership.
  4. Click Deactivate or Cancel subscription on the subscription management page.
  5. Choose Continue to cancel to confirm cancellation, or select Pause instead to pause your membership for up to six months.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to cancel YouTube Premium quickly saves users from unwanted charges and gives them full control over their subscription. YouTube Premium offers an alternative to outright cancellation — the ability to pause a membership for up to six months — making it easier to manage costs without losing account history. This step-by-step guide helps users navigate YouTube's account settings confidently, avoiding common drop-off points in the cancellation flow. Whether you want to end billing immediately or temporarily suspend your plan, understanding these options ensures you make the right choice for your subscription.
