Take a course on YouTube

Courses are a new way for participating creators to offer in depth, multi-lesson learning programs on YouTube. Courses let viewers learn from creators in a structured learning environment, while connecting with other learners. You can find Courses across YouTube:

On the Home feed
In Watch Next
In search results
In a participating Creator’s Playlists
In Courses, under Explore

Participating creators may require a one-time payment for the Course, while other Courses are offered for $0. When Courses require a one-time payment, the Course will be ad-free. Courses that are available for $0 might still feature ads. Most revenue from Courses goes to the participating Creator.

Note: The Courses feature is in Beta and currently limited to a subset of Creators. Courses are only available in a limited number of countries. Viewers must use a computer or Android device to buy a Course. We hope to roll Courses out to more Creators, devices, and countries/regions in the future.

To buy a Course, you must be at least 18 years old and you must use a computer or Android device. But, once you buy a Course you can watch it on any device YouTube is available on. Some Creators may also include files that can be downloaded with their Course.
