How to Set YouTube Music as Alarm for Android/iPhone

Part 1. Can I Use YouTube Music as an Alarm?

Can YouTube Music songs be directly set as an alarm sound on your device? Yes, Android users with a YouTube Music Premium subscription have the advantage of integrating YouTube Music with their clock app for a seamless alarm experience. If you are using an Android device, you can go ahead and take advantage of the clock integration feature to set your favorite YouTube Music songs as alarms.

While setting YouTube Music as an alarm is a Premium feature for Android users, iPhone users and those without a premium subscription face limitations. Setting YouTube Music songs as alarms directly isn't as straightforward. iPhone users don't have the same direct Clock integration with YouTube Music as Android users do. Even you have YouTube Music Premium subscription, you'll require workarounds.

Part 2. Use YouTube Music as Alarm with Premium (Android users only)

For Android users with a YouTube Music Premium subscription, open the YouTube Music app and make sure to sign in with your Premium account. Here's how to set up your alarm with YouTube Music:

1. Launch the "Clock" app on your Android device.
2. Tap on the "Alarm" icon to create or edit an alarm.
3. Select the alarm you want to customize or create a new one by tapping the "+" button. Set the desired alarm time.
4. In the alarm settings, look for the "Alarm sound," "Ringtone" option or the current alarm sound, and tap on it.
5. The YouTube Music will appear as an available option, along with others like Spotify. Tap on "YouTube Music."
6. You'll be prompted to choose a track from your YouTube Music library. Select your preferred song, artist, or playlist that you'd like to wake up to.
7. Once you've customized your alarm settings, tap "Save" or "Done" to set the alarm.
8. Your alarm is now configured to play your chosen YouTube Music track at the designated time.
