Pausing a YouTube Subscription
If you don’t want to cancel your YouTube TV subscription, but don’t plan to use it for a bit, you can put it on pause. This allows you to take a break without canceling, and is simpler than pulling the plug on your subscription.
To pause a subscription to YouTube TV, you’ll need to follow a path similar to cancelation. That means you’ll want to go to your profile photo and access the settings menu. From here, choose Membership, select your plan, and then look for the option to pause it.
You can adjust the slider to the amount of time you want to place your subscription on pause but will be able to resume your membership at any time.
