How to Cancel YouTube TV on a Desktop
To cancel your YouTube TV subscription on your desktop or personal computer, follow these quick steps:
1. Open your web browser and go to tv.youtube.com.
2. In the top-right corner, click on “Sign In” if you’re not logged in. Enter your Google account details that you use for YouTube TV. Sometimes, you might also have to type in your home zip code.
3. Click on your profile picture in the upper right-hand corner of the screen to see a list of options, then click on “Settings.”
4. Click on “Membership” in the upper left sidebar to go to the Membership page.
5. Tap “Pause or Cancel Membership” under the YouTube TV option.
6. In the pop-up window, go to the bottom of the screen and click on the blue “Cancel Membership” button.
7. Next, YouTube will ask why you want to cancel YouTube TV. Choose a reason from the list and then click on the blue “Continue Canceling” button at the bottom of the screen.
8. Finally, click on “Cancel Membership” to finish canceling.
If you follow these steps carefully, you can fully cancel your membership. After you cancel, YouTube will take you back to the Membership page. To check if your cancellation worked, look for the “Restart membership” option under the YouTube TV logo. You’ll also get an email confirming your subscription is canceled.
I recently canceled my YouTube TV subscription too. I switch between different streaming services often. This time, I wanted to keep it simple. I used the Android app and followed these easy steps.
When I clicked ‘Cancel Membership,’ YouTube asked why I was leaving. I liked that because it shows they care about what users think. Even after canceling, I could keep watching until my billing period ended. This shows how user-friendly YouTube TV is.
Remember, you can still watch YouTube TV until your subscription period ends. For example, if you have 10 days left, you can watch TV for those 10 days.
How to Cancel YouTube TV from an Android Device
Canceling your YouTube TV subscription on an Android device is straightforward. You need to use the YouTube TV app, not a web browser. First, make sure the app is installed. Here’s how to cancel your YouTube TV subscription on your Android app:
1. Open the YouTube TV app on your Android device, and sign in. Make sure to pick the right account if you have more than one.
2. Next, tap your picture in the top-right corner, and choose Settings.
3. Click on Settings to open a menu, then find Membership and select it.
4. On the next screen, tap Manage. You’ll see options to Cancel or Pause, but since you want to stop YouTube TV, choose Cancel. If you change your mind, you can pick Pause instead.
5. Choose why you want to cancel your subscription, then click Continue Canceling.
6. To finish, click the blue “Yes, Cancel” button at the bottom of the screen.
Remember, you won’t be able to use the app anymore after your current payment period ends.
How to Cancel YouTube TV from an iPad or iPhone
If you’re using an iPhone or iPad, here’s how to cancel your YouTube TV membership. You can’t do it through the YouTube TV iOS app, so use your mobile browser or a computer instead. It’s similar to canceling on Android. Here’s what to do:
- Go to tv.youtube.com on your mobile browser and log in.
- Tap your profile photo, then select Settings.
- Choose Membership, then click Cancel Membership.
- Finally, confirm to cancel your subscription.
Cancel Your YouTube TV Free Trial Before You Get Charged
If you tried YouTube TV for free and don’t want to keep it, cancel before they charge you. This way, you won’t pay anything. It’s better than asking for your money back later. Remember when your trial ends.
After you cancel, you won’t be able to use YouTube TV anymore. And you might not get another free trial for a while.
What if You Cannot Get a Refund?
You might not get your money back if you used a promo code when signing up and want to cancel during the trial. Check with customer service before canceling to be sure.
What Happens in the Next Billing Period After You Cancel?
After you cancel your subscription, here’s what happens next:
- You won’t be charged the usual monthly fee.
- You can start your account again whenever you want to watch your recorded shows.
- If you pause your account, you won’t be charged for up to 8 weeks.
- Your current recordings will stay saved.
If you have any problems, talk to customer support. Go to the Help section and click Chat for help right away.
