Hey guys so in today's video I'm gonna be sharing with you guys how to upload a YouTube banner to
your channel. I did this video in the past where I showed you guys how to make and upload a banner,
I'll have that video in the i up top because the tutorial on how to make a banner in that video
is still very relevant so I think that could still help you guys if you haven't made one
yet and you're not sure how to, because there are some specifics going into this that you
need to know before making it. But the uploading part of that video isn't really relevant anymore
since YouTube changed a few things that you need to follow in order to get to the website, but if
you're watching this in the future after a few months of this video being uploaded and you see
that it's not working it might be because YouTube changed something again but I'm pretty sure,
trust me, pretty sure this isn't gonna change. So going into your web browser of your choosing
I'm just gonna choose Safari, you want to go to a website called: studio.youtube.com . On the
previous video I first went through YouTube but that just didn't work so just go directly to this
website you'll see we go to that website later on that other tutorial. So studio.youtube.com click
on go and then it gives you the desktop version of YouTube Studio. By the way, if you go on this
website, first off it might ask you to sign into a Google account before you can actually go to this
website, then you just have to sign into your channel's email and also it might bring a thing
up that says: 'Download the YouTube Studio App' don't click on that, click on the text that says:
'Continue to Studio', I'll have it on the screen now, just click on the text that says 'Continue to
Studio' and then you'll still get to this page, there's just some things that youtube throws in
there but the thing we want to go to now is you'll see here at the side we have all these categories
you want to go to this one that looks like a magic one so we're gonna tap on that
and then you'll see we have this page. So you'll see here are 3 categories you have: Layout,
Branding and Basic Info so we wanna go to Branding and here you'll see you have another few things
you can choose from, so you can either change or upload your Profile Pic for YouTube channel,
your Banner for your YouTube channel or your video Watermark which is that thing in the corner of
videos, I'm pretty sure if you click on it you can Subscribe or something, but we want to focus right
now on Banner Image but you can change any of that as well. So I'm not sure what this text says
if you don't have one on here yet, it's probably not going to say 'Change' because you don't have a
banner on there yet, it's probably going to say 'Upload' or import or something I'm not quite
sure, but you just want to click on whatever option there is to upload. Mine just says 'Change'
because i already have a banner, so then it's going to ask you to go to your 'Photo Library',
'Browse' which is Files on your phone or 'Take a Photo'. I'm just going to go to Photo Library.
I'm just choosing this random image that I have in my Camera Roll, I'm not actually going to upload
this as my banner, but i'm going to select 'Choose' here and then it's going to give
you this option. So this is where I mentioned, you have some specifics that you need to know
before actually making your banner so that you know your text is in the right area because if
your text takes up this whole entire thing then it won't be viewable on all devices. This is the only
small area that's viewable on all devices, so if you want to have more information that video,
like i said it's in the i up top, but it's going to show you this area it's going to show
you the layout and how it will look on different devices, and then you just click on done and then
you're pretty much done. S o once you've selected your image and it's done then you just remember to
click on 'Publish' up here so otherwise it won't publish to your channel, so make sure you click
on 'Publish' up here and then you're pretty much good to go, that's how you upload your banner.
I hope this video was helpful i know it was very quick and i hope you guys could, like, follow but
basics: Go to studio.youtube.com, find the 'Branding' category and then just upload your
banner, very simple and easy. Thank you guys so much for watching, I really hope you guys enjoyed
