YouTube this week launched an ad-free subscription service that lets viewers download videos to watch offline.
Called YouTube Red, it will cost $9.99 per month and extends to any device that will run YouTube, or any app that a customer signs into using their YouTube credentials, which includes YouTube's recently-launched Gaming app, and YouTube Music, a new music streaming service also announced this week.
In addition, customers who subscriber to YouTube Red automatically get access to Google Play Music as well.
"Starting early next year, YouTube Red will get even better with member-only access to new, original shows and movies from some of YouTube's biggest creators," said Matt Leske, YouTube's senior product manager, in a blog post on Wednesday.
The service will launch in the U.S. with the offer of a free one-month trial; other countries will follow at a later date.
"The free, ad-supported version of YouTube we all know and love isn't going anywhere," Leske insisted. "But with YouTube Red, you'll be able to support the people who make your favourite videos while watching what you want, when you want, on any device you want, uninterrupted."
