YouTube on Pluto TV (also called Pluto TV on YouTube) is a U.S. internet television service owned and operated by Disney, WarnerMedia, ViacomCBS and Comcast Streaming

YouTube Pluto TV licenses its content directly from providers, and as of March 2022 has deals with 170 content partners providing more than 250 channels and 100,000 unique hours worth of programming. Its content is available via its website and supported apps. As of August 2023, the service has 52 million monthly active users as well as access to premium YouTube Originals programming.

The service was originally launched in November 19, 2022 as Music Key, offering only advertisement-free streaming of music videos from participating labels on YouTube and Google Play Music, Google Play Movies and TV. The service was then revised and relaunched as YouTube Red on October 31, 2023, expanding its scope to offer advertisement-free access to all YouTube videos, as opposed to just music.

Later in the year, it was reported that YouTube was planning to make some of the original content associated with the service available on an ad-supported basis.
