Nonetheless, a major highlight of this one is that the users will now get access to YouTube Music which means they can still get to see ads on the music videos. And yes, features like background play and music download will also not be available for the users who will select the Premium Lite Tier subscription.

YouTube, with the introduction of the YouTube Premium Lite Plan, is trying to focus on the ad-free streaming of videos for users who don’t need the whole Premium bundle. YouTube has already said that the ads will be visible while watching shorts or music content.

After the pilot mode in the United States, the plan will be first introduced in Germany, Thailand, and Australia in the coming weeks. Until now, there has been no word regarding the launch of the plan in India. However, speculations are that if the plan arrives in the country, then it will be most probably priced under Rs 100 keeping in mind the current YouTube Premium is available for Rs 149 per month.
