Your YouTube TV subscription is designed with families in mind - you can let up to five other people use the service at no additional cost.
Each additional user can create their own personal content library, save favorites, and record TV shows. To get started adding accounts on YouTube TV, you'll need to create a family group, and then invite other people to join the group.
Here's how to do it.
How to add accounts to YouTube TV
1. Open YouTube TV in a web browser.
2. Click your account avatar in the lower right corner of the screen. If it slides up to the top of the screen, click the avatar a second time. In the drop-down menu, click "Settings."
3. On the left side of the Settings window, click "Family sharing."
4. Click "Set up."
5. Follow the instructions to create your family group and send invitation emails to each person you want to add to your group.
6. When your family members get the invitation by email, they simply need to click the link to accept the invitation, and then click "Join Family" in the browser window.
7. You can edit the family group at any time by adding or removing members - just click "Manage" in the family sharing settings. It will be where "Set up" was before.
8. On the Members web page, click "Invite family members" and follow the instructions to send an invitation email to the person you would like to add.
