It's almost time for me too renew my YouTube Premium membership in Canada. I currently have an individual plan but want to get a family plan so I can add my wife and kids. For some reason I can't find family memberships. I Google it and when I select it, it comes up as an Individual plan. When I look at memberships through YouTube Premium or just the regular YouTube app I can only see Individual plans.

Has Google got rid of the family plans in Canada?

Didn't there used to be a $149.99 Family Annual Plan for Music or am I just going crazy? I finally decided on Youtube Music Premium over Amazon Music Unlimited but I can't see paying $180 for YT MP over $150 for AMU. This might be a deal breaker.

In a significant policy shift that began quietly at the end of 2024, YouTube has restricted access to its Family Plan subscription, making it available only to accounts that meet specific eligibility criteria. As of last week, the change has been rolled out globally including major markets such as the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada with many users now finding the Family Plan option missing entirely, depending on their account’s eligibility.

According to a source at Google familiar with the matter, the new limitations are part of an effort to curb widespread abuse of the Family Plan. The subscription, originally intended for households, had been increasingly exploited by users sharing it with friends or strangers in other countries. A practice that violates YouTube’s terms of service. To address this, YouTube has begun implementing stricter account checks that determine whether the Family Plan option is displayed. Google has not publicly disclosed the exact criteria for eligibility, and the policy was initially tested in select regions before expanding globally.

Increased from $23 to $33 per month for me
