<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/youtube-red-officially-launches-offering-ad-free-videos-and-more-999-month' title="YouTube Red officially launches, offering ad-free videos and more for a monthly fee"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2014/10/youtube-iphone6-list-hero.jpg?itok=JmMO6h5O' />[/url]</p> <p>As promised last week, Google has now officially launched its YouTube Red (http://www.imore.com/youtube) subscription service, offering fans of YouTube videos access to ad-free clips, a way to download videos for offline use and more for a monthly fee.</p> <!--break--> <p>Here's the breakdown of what people can expect when they sign up for YouTube Red:</p> <ul><li>Ad-free videos: Watch videos without interruptions</li> <li>Save offline: Save videos and songs on your mobile device to watch offline</li> <li>Background play: Keep videos or music playing when using other apps or when your screen's off</li> <li>Google Play Music subscription: Included at no additional cost</li> </ul><p>Google points out that any YouTube videos that already require some sort of payment, such as renting movies or TV shows, paid channels and pay-per-view events, are not covered by YouTube's Red service. However, the company is planning to launch a series of videos that will be available just for YouTube Red subscribers starting in 2016.</p> <p>iOS users who sign up to pay for YouTube Red directly from the YouTube app will have to pay $12.99 a month, due to Apple's iTunes fees. However, those users can bypass the extra fee and get YouTubeRed for $9.99 a month just by signing up for the service on its official website. There is a 30-day free trial for YouTube Red, but it does require a credit or debit card. The service can also be accessed on desktop PCs and TVs in addition to mobile devices.</p> <p>Source: YouTube Red (https://www.youtube.com/red)</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
