In this video I'm going to show you how to verify your YouTube account in 2019
this is the first and most important step that you need to take in order to
start creating your very own successful YouTube channel in the last video that I
created to help people get verified on YouTube a lot of people had problems
getting to the verification page and getting through the verification process
so I've created this updated video to help you if you get stuck or have any
problems along the way if this video doesn't help you get verified please
leave me a comment below and I'll be happy to help you out getting verified
on YouTube is going to give you access to custom thumbnails allow you to upload
longer videos that are more than 15 minutes give you access to loved
streaming features allow you to add links to external websites within
annotations and give you access to unlisted and private videos on your
YouTube channel to get your channel verified on YouTube you're going to need
a mobile number where you can receive a text or voice message from YouTube with
a verification code that you can then use to verify your channel if you don't
have a mobile number that you can use to verify your channel I'll show you at the
end of this video what you can do to get verified on YouTube to get started make
sure you logged in to your YouTube account you can check this by going to
the top right hand side of your screen and check that your profile picture
shows there once you logged into your YouTube channel we're gonna head down
and click on YouTube studio once we're inside YouTube studio we're gonna head
down on the left hand side to create a studio classic at the bottom if this tab
isn't showing on the left you can click on the top left where the three lines
are and this will pull open the tab and then head down and click on creator
studio classic when the pop-up comes up just click skip inside creator studio
classic we're gonna head down to the left hand side click on channel and
select status and featured then if you head up to your profile picture you will
see your channel name and under your channel name there will be a
button saying verify if you are really verified you'll see like mine has a tick
and it says that I'm verified now this is where most of the people in my
previous video got stuck or had problems because YouTube has updated the layout
of where this is within your YouTube studio so what you're going to do if you
do have a problem getting to this page all you need to do is go into your top
URL and type in youtube.com forward slash features this will bring you to
this exact page and you'll be able to click on the verify blue button if this
still doesn't work for you and you want to jump straight into the verification
process then all you need to do is tap in the URL youtube.com forward slash
verify this will take you to the first step of the verification process now to
show you how to verify your channel we're gonna use an example channel
called bonds on nursery and you'll see under the channel name there is a blue
button that says verify with the techniques to it click on that verify
button and it'll take you through to the first step of the account verification
where you need to select your country so we're in South Africa and then I want
you to select how you want to verify your channel you can either get YouTube
to call you with a voice message or they can text the verification code to your
phone choose your option and then they're gonna ask you to enter your
