As the channel owner, you can create the terms for the rentals, purchases, or subscriptions.

1. A paid video is a video that viewers pay a rental or purchase fee to watch.

2. A paid channel is a channel that viewers pay a monthly or yearly subscription fee to watch.

Viewers can purchase paid content on YouTube.com or on Android devices with the supported YouTube app.

See what platforms and devices they can view the content on:

⦁ Rentals, purchases and paid subscriptions on Android mobile devices
⦁ Rentals, purchases and paid subscriptions on iOS mobile devices
⦁ Rentals, purchases and paid subscriptions on smart TVs
⦁ Rentals, purchases and paid subscriptions on game consoles
⦁ Rentals, purchases and paid subscriptions on Chromecast
⦁ Rentals, purchases and paid subscriptions on Roku

When a viewer rents or purchases a paid video or subscribes to a paid channel, they get access to the paid content as soon as the purchase is complete.

To purchase YouTube paid content, you’ll need a Google account with a valid payment method.

If necessary, create a Google account, and add a payment method.

Subscribe to a paid channel to watch all the videos in that channel for a single monthly or annual fee.

Paid channels represent just one way for video creators to make their content available on YouTube.

YouTube won’t start charging for all of the videos you can currently enjoy at no cost.

All subscriptions include a 14-day free trial, so the user’s credit card is not charged until the end of the free trial.

If the user unsubscribes during the free trial, the credit card is not charged.
