We have not read Youtube Music's terms yet, so we are not going to tell you what they say.
What people learn from using it
Reported by people who use Youtube Music, not by Youtube Music. Every note links to where we found it, and says how many sources we could confirm it in.
Picture and sound
-
Spatial audio works in the mobile Chrome browser but not the native app
Users note that streaming YouTube Music through the Chrome mobile browser enables spatial head-tracking audio, a feature that is entirely absent when using the native iOS or Android application.
What the source says
Listening to yt music on chrome browser enables spatial audio and sounds more immersive. The sound source stays to phone as we move the head like apple music, but that is not enabled in yt music app https://www.reddit.com/r/YoutubeMusic/comments/1np0kmu/youtube_music_…
When it goes wrong
-
flag Changing default providers resets stuck algorithmic playlists
When Google Assistant gets stuck constantly playing a specific playlist (like Christmas music), users can fix it by temporarily changing their default music provider to Spotify in the Home app, then changing it back.
Youtube Music's terms do not allow this. It is here because people report doing it, not as a recommendation.
What the source says
Sometimes flipping it to another service and back, or unlinking/relinking, kinda “resets” what it thinks you mean by “play music.” https://www.reddit.com/r/googlehome/comments/1plf9gz/play_music_now_a…
Being checked
-
Family plans require an electronic check-in every 30 days
YouTube Music enforces household limits by requiring every family member's device to connect to the primary household's internet network at least once every 30 days, or risk a 14-day premium suspension.
What the source says
YouTube conducts an electronic check-in approximately every 30 days to verify that family members live at the same residential address. https://www.reddit.com/r/YoutubeMusic/comments/1nl6are/youtube_premiu…
We fetched each of these pages ourselves and checked the quotation is really on it. That proves somebody said it, not that it is true — read the source and decide.
