in this video I show you how to change your personal YouTube account into a
brand account the first thing we need to do is go up into your picture up here
onto the top right and click on to settings as the settings load you'll see
a few different options here what we need to do first is see all my channels
or create a new channel today I'm going to be changing this channel which is a
personal account into a brand account but before we can do that we need to
make another account that it can be ported over to so we click on to new
channel and we type in the name we want it to be
and then click create ok so now we've got the new account all
set up it's completely empty and blank if we click up onto the pink icon yours
may be a different color and they go to switch account
you'll now see the new blog post up there the new blog channel up there what
we need to do is go back to your main account that you want to swap over and
click onto your picture and then go back to the settings
and just in case you see anything different up here you can get this kind
of view pop up on the when you click on your picture if you click on YouTube
settings you get back to exactly the same page here
so now we've created the channel we need to go into advanced over here just under
your email address and then we want to move channel to brand account and verify
with your password as the page loads you'll see all of the information from
your current personal account and then we click on to select desired account so
now we've got the brand account already here we can click onto that and you'll
see a warning pop-up saying that the joke Island blog has currently got no
subscribers no videos no playlists will be deleted and that's fine because it's
the one we just made that we click delete Channel
so then afterwards we've got my channel nail sixteen videos to playlists
subscribers by account assuming that that's all okay so my channel after I
keep my seven subscribers sixteen videos to playlists the icon all changes that's
fine so I'm going to move channel a final warning will pop up and it is
worth noting that you've got an explanation work you need to read
whatever that says for me it says some of my comments can't be moved now I'm
just starting out that's not a problem for me you may need to consider what
comments you'll lose and if that will actually affect your your video and your
channel at all so just be aware that that has popped up for me you may get
different things pop up and just read this bit here and if you're happy move
channel and then click OK now as we've just moved our personal account to a
brand account it will say that we don't have a channel anymore so you can
recreate your own channel which will then be links directly to your email but
the whole idea is that we've got our subscribers and everything that we had
before now onto a brand account and some of the information may take a while for
it to transfer over so if you do not see all of your updates instantly do not
panic it does take some time for it all to
transfer and for the service to update properly but right here you see you're
connected to a brand account now because we've just changed our personal account
to a brand account we no longer have a default channel so I'm going to use this
blog site and the blog site that we've just made as my default and save that
also that's all finalized it's worth going back to the overview button here
and as you click on overview you will see now that you've got some different
options here the main one being that managers can now be added or removed
from your account managers are people that could be added or removed to help
manage your YouTube channel and if you were growing then you'll be aware that
you could really use that in the future so I suggest doing this right from the
word go because otherwise you'll lose comments and things on some of your
videos like we've just seen and to avoid that we can just have a brand account
right from the start now that it's a brand account we can also change some of
the settings such as the picture and everything without it affecting your
Google+ account and other thing just to be aware of if you have previously set
up certain things so if you click on to view additional features you'll go into
your channel settings all of this will have been reset back to its original
status apart from maybe the verification out of it but you need to go back
through all of this and just make sure that the settings are correct and how
you expect them to be that's all for this video thank you very much for
