This Itechguide teaches you how to subscribe to YouTube Red (Now called YouTube Premium). We all know YouTube as a free service but it now has a paid service called YouTube Premium.

The YouTube paid service is now called YouTube Premium. But because a number of people still refer to it as YouTube Red (the original name), I will use both names interchangeably throughout this guide.

This guide covers steps to subscribe to YouTube Red from your computer browser (YouTube.com) and from the YouTube App on Android.

Option 1: Subscribe to Premium from YouTube.com

You can subscribe to YouTube Premium from your browser (YouTube.com).
