Locations & simultaneous streamingLocation requirementsLocation requirements work the same if you're sharing your YouTube TV membership with a family group. The family manager sets the home area, and all family members must primarily live in the same household. All family group members must periodically use YouTube TV in your home location to maintain access. If you don't, the family manager will either have to change the family's home location or you'll need to get your own individual membership. Note: If you're using YouTube TV while travelling, you'll get access to certain programmes based on your location. Learn more about using YouTube TV while travelling. Simultaneous streaming
Family group members can use YouTube TV on up to three separate devices at the same time. Note that if one family member is watching YouTube TV on both a computer and a mobile device, this counts as two of the three available devices – even though they're being used by the same account. If you're a family member and your family cancels their YouTube TV membership, you can sign up for an individual membership. To do this, leave your family group and then sign up for YouTube TV with your own Google account. Was this helpful? How can we improve it?
