Cancelling or Pausing Your YouTube TV Subscription: What You Need to Know
If you're one of the millions of subscribers to Google's popular live streaming service YouTube TV, you may be wondering whether it's worth continuing to pay for a service that doesn't offer all the channels you want due to a carriage dispute with Disney. Or perhaps you simply want to save some cash by pausing your subscription.
Either way, cancelling or putting your YouTube TV on pause is now more accessible than ever before. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do so.
**How to Cancel Your Subscription**
To cancel your YouTube TV membership, follow these steps:
1. Open the YouTube TV website or app.
2. Tap or click on your profile photo.
3. Select Settings (represented by a gear icon).
4. Choose Membership and then Manage.
5. Click Cancel membership and confirm that you want to cancel.
Your subscription will be cancelled at the end of your current billing period, but any shows or movies you've recorded will still be saved in your account for 21 days before being deleted.
**Note:** If you subscribed through a mobile carrier or internet provider, cancelling your YouTube TV account may require you to contact them directly.
**How to Pause Your Subscription**
If you just want to take a break from paying for YouTube TV, you can pause your subscription for anywhere from four weeks to six months.
To do so:
1. Open the YouTube TV website or app.
2. Tap or click on your profile photo.
3. Select Settings (represented by a gear icon).
4. Choose Membership and then Manage.
5. Use the slider to choose how long you want to pause payments for.
6. Click Pause.
When you pause your subscription, you'll still be able to access YouTube TV until the end of your current billing period. Once the pause is over, your subscription will renew automatically. You can also resume using YouTube TV at any time if you decide to continue paying.
**Things to Keep in Mind**
Before cancelling or pausing your YouTube TV subscription, consider the following:
* Any shows or movies you've recorded will be saved for 21 days before being deleted.
* If you cancel through a mobile carrier or internet provider, you may need to contact them directly.
* Your subscription will renew automatically once the pause is over.
Ultimately, whether cancelling or pausing your YouTube TV subscription is right for you depends on your individual needs and preferences.

it sounds like a total game changer! i mean who doesn't love having the freedom to pause their subscriptions whenever they want 
i'm definitely going to take advantage of this feature and just pause it for a bit, idk if ill end up cancelling tho 
also does anyone know if i can still watch my recorded shows even after pausing my sub? 
! if u pause it, u'll still have access 2 all ur shows & movies 4 a lil while, but then u gotta pay again lol. plus, 21 days is a pretty short time, so u might end up watchin all ur recorded stuff in one sittin 
, sounds like their new AI system isn't taking off as planned 
also, did you hear about the severe drought in china? it's getting so bad they're having to import water from other countries 
and now, there's a new strain of covid variant that's popping up all over europe 
And now I've got all these channels that I like, but not all of them are available because of this dispute. It's really frustrating when I'm trying to watch something and it says "not available" 
but now im thinking about what shows r gonna miss lol like i know i'll b able to watch all my fave vids online but its weird not having the live stream thingy anymore 
also pause feature is pretty cool i mean who needs the hassle of constant subscription changes right? 
), we have to be informed about it in excruciating detail 
. Can't they just keep us updated through our regular feed instead of making us click on some random post with a bunch of instructions? 
... I mean, who wants to pay for a service that doesn't have all the channels they want? It's like when our school administration says we can't have a school party because of budget cuts 
Another major cable company in the US is raising prices again 
. It's like they're sucking every last penny out of our pockets 
. And to make matters worse, it seems like most of these price hikes are being passed on to us consumers without any kind of significant benefits or improvements to the service itself 
. It's enough to drive you crazy, man 
.
! I mean, who wants to pay extra for channels they don't even watch? It's like, can't we just get a decent lineup without all the drama? Anyway, I love that YouTube TV is making it easier to pause or cancel subscriptions - it's all about flexibility and saving cash 
, I mean think about it, people are finally in control of their own entertainment budgets 
. Plus, now we can take breaks from paying if we want to, which is perfect for when our budgets get tight
