Create a family group to share YouTube TV—and other Google apps and services—with up to 5 other members at no extra cost.
How family groups work on YouTube TV
- If you purchase a YouTube TV membership, you can create a family group. When you create a family group, you become the family manager.
- As the family manager:
- You can invite family members (13 or older) to join your family group.
- If you purchase extra subscriptions and packages, family members can view these add-ons from their accounts.
- As a family group member:
- You can build your own personal library of content in YouTube TV. Your viewing preferences and DVR are your own—we won't share your library or watch history with your family group.
- You and other family group members can view any extra subscriptions and packages purchased by the family manager.
- Sharing YouTube TV as part of a family group also lets you share other Google services with the same members. Learn more about family groups on Google.

Join a family group
If the family manager with a YouTube TV membership has invited you to join the family group, you'll get an email invitation. Follow the instructions in the invitation to join the family group.
The fine print:
- To join a family group, you must be 13 or older, and have a Google Account.
- You can access your own library, recordings, and personalized recommendations. Your viewing preferences are your own—we won't share your library or watch history across accounts.
- You can only be part of one family group at a time. If you’re invited to a different family group (YouTube TV or another Google product), you’ll have to leave your family group to change families.
- Google Apps for Business (G Suite) accounts are not eligible for family groups.
When you leave a family group, you'll keep your Google Account but will lose access to YouTube TV. Your preferences will be saved in case you restart later.
Leave your family group:
- Sign in to YouTube TV.
- Select your profile picture
- Next to “Family Sharing,†select Manage and you will be redirected to g.co/YourFamily.
- In the top left corner, select Menu
- Select Leave your family group.
- Enter your password, then select Confirm. Your family manager will get an email notification that you've left the family group.
Note: If you leave your family group, you can accept an invitation to join a different family group or create your own group. You can only switch families once every 12 months.
Locations & simultaneous streaming
Location requirements
Location requirements work the same if you're sharing your YouTube TV membership with a family group. The family manager sets the home area, and each family member must primarily live in the same household.
Family group members need to periodically use YouTube TV in their home location to maintain access.
