On a Windows, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook computer, use the YouTube site to cancel your Premium subscription.

First, open a web browser on your computer and launch the YouTube site. In the top-right corner of the site, click your profile icon.

In the profile menu that opens, select “Purchases and Memberships.”

Select "Purchases and Memberships" from the profile menu on the YouTube site.

You’ll be on the “Purchases and Memberships” page. Here, in the “Premium” section, click “Manage Membership.”

Click "Manage Membership" in the "Premium" section on the YouTube site.

The “Premium” section will expand. From this expanded section, select “Deactivate.”

Select "Deactivate" in the "Premium" section on the YouTube site.

YouTube will display a message that says you can pause instead of canceling your subscription. To proceed with cancellation, click “Continue to Cancel” in this message box.

Click "Continue to Cancel" in the message box on the YouTube site.

YouTube will now ask the reason you’re canceling your subscription. Select a reason and then click “Next.”

Select a reason for cancellation and click "Next" on the YouTube site.

You’ll now see the final prompt before your subscription is actually canceled. In this prompt, click “Yes, Cancel.”

Warning: At this point, make sure you really want to cancel your subscription.

Click "Yes, Cancel" in the prompt on the YouTube site.

YouTube will unsubscribe you from its Premium service and you will no longer be charged for it. Your benefits will continue until the end of the current billing cycle. You’re all set.
