\nYouTube TV has recently lost the Bally Sports regional sports networks (though that\u2019s more Sinclair\u2019s fault than YouTube TV\u2019s, since they are removing the networks from all the streaming services). Then they almost lost the NBC networks, which is roughly a fifth of YouTube TV\u2019s channel offerings. However, NBC decided to step up and not force YouTube TV to include Peacock with its membership. And surprisingly, the price did not go up. Which is a good thing.
\nIf you just want to stop using YouTube TV for a few weeks, maybe cut some costs, we\u2019d recommend pausing YouTube TV instead. That will keep all of your recordings and continue recording, but without charging you. You can pause YouTube TV for up to six months. We\u2019ll also show you how to pause your YouTube TV membership in this tutorial.
\nHow to cancel YouTube TV
\nTo cancel YouTube TV, you\u2019ll need to either open the app, or go to tv.youtube.com. The process is virtually the same, aside from tapping versus clicking.
\nThen tap on your profile icon in the right-hand corner.
\nNext, you\u2019re going to tap on Settings.
\nYouTube TV Settings
\nTap on \u201cMembership\u201d which should be the first option on the left side. And should already be highlighted
\nThen you should see \u201cPause or cancel membership\u201d underneath the YouTube TV listing that shows it as $64.99 per month.
\nCancel your YouTube TV membership
\nClick on that. Now you can see options for pausing or cancelling your membership.
\nAfter you click cancel, it\u2019ll ask to make sure you want to cancel, and just go through that process until it has successfully cancelled.
\nAnd that\u2019s it. It\u2019s pretty simple to cancel, and that\u2019s one thing that YouTube TV still has over cable. The ability to easily cancel TV service, without needing to call them and explain to them you don\u2019t want it any longer.
\nHow to Pause YouTube TV
\nPausing YouTube TV has a pretty similar process to cancelling it. Start out by opening the YouTube TV app.
\nThen tap on your profile picture.
\nNext, tap on Settings.
\nFrom there, you\u2019ll want to tap on Membership.
\nNext tap on \u201cManage\u201d next to the \u201cBase Plan\u201d option. This will be at the very top.
\nNow, you\u2019ll see an option to pause your account. It defaults to eight weeks, but you can adjust the slider all the way up to 24 weeks (or about six months). It will also show you below, when your account will resume. YouTube TV also mentions that your recordings will be kept, which is a big deal.
\nPause your YouTube TV membership
\nNow, just tap on Pause.
\nYou\u2019ll now get a confirmation that your account is put on pause (you\u2019ll also get an email with details). And you\u2019re all set.
\nThat\u2019s just how easy it is to pause your YouTube TV account. You can also choose to unpause it at any time. So if you paused it by mistake, or paused it for too long, you can unpause it and be back in business. Keep in mind that if you share this membership with others, their accounts will also be paused.
\nWhat\u2019s the difference between cancelling and pausing YouTube TV?
\nCancelling means that you\u2019re not planning to return anytime soon. While pausing means that you plan to return in a month or two, or even longer.
\nIf you do want to get rid of YouTube TV for a couple of months, pausing is the right way to go. This is because it will keep all of your shows in your library. While cancelling will get rid of it all.
\nHowever, with this price hike, YouTube TV is likely going to be seeing a whole lot of people cancelling their membership, unfortunately. Even though YouTube TV is a really good service \u2013 I\u2019d still say, one of the best out there. At $65 per month, it\u2019s a pretty tough ask. Especially since YouTube TV only has one plan, so you\u2019re stuck paying for all of those channels at $65\/month. Instead of having a smaller plan option that costs, say $50 per month for fewer channels.
\nPausing is a good idea if you are looking to cut some costs for a few months, or if your favorite shows are off season now, so you don\u2019t need YouTube TV. And that will save you $65 per month, which is no small cost, to be quite honest. Most other streaming Live TV services don\u2019t really offer this ability. So this is a big deal.
\nYouTube TV has continued to improve its service, and is looking to add some more flexible packages. So we may not see any more price increases on the base plan. But we may lose some channels from that base plan. With them moving into the add-ons. This is simply because the costs to carry these channels are getting pretty pricey.
