YouTube membership channels now available in SA

Youtube channel memberships are now available in South Africa.

This will allow users to support channel creators by signing up to donate R39.99 per month to their favourite channels.

Neal Mohan, the YouTube chief product officer, said that with channel memberships viewers pay a monthly recurring fee to get unique badges, new emojis, member's only posts and access to unique custom perks offered by creators.

YouTube channel memberships use the existing payment information saved in your Google account. 

Additionally, users will also be able to subscribe to YoutTube music which is a new music streaming service that offers music videos, official albums, singles, remixes, live performances, covers and hard-to-find music you can only get on YouTube.

For a limited time, a three-month free trial will be available for YouTube Music Premium and then users can decide to pay R59.99 per month after, or R89.99 per month for a Family Plan.
