G’day its Doug from Doug Hewson YouTube here,
and today is episode three in the series
called YouTube for newbs.
In the previous episode,
we took that verfiying your channel.
That video went gangbusters so thank you very much for all
of you who searched or found the channel through that video.
Here's the next one,
how do you upload your channel art to your brand new channel?
Well today we're gonna talk about that so let's
get straight on over to the computer discuss
that and we'll see you back at the end.
Welcome back for another tutorial
in the YouTubers for Newbs series.
In the last video we talked all about verifying your
channel and that video went gangbusters
because it's a question a lot of people have and people
just start getting about YouTube,
they don’t even think about verifying their channel
and then they don't get the all the menus across
the top here for the custom channel layout and so forth.
But today,
we've still got a blank channel.
The thing we want to look at today is how will we put
a channel banner onto the channel?
At the moment I've just got my profile pic,
I got my my DHYT Test Channel channel name on there.
I've got no content and I've got no channel banner.
So we're gonna show you how to upload a channel banner
very simply to your channel.
Now,
it's a whole nother video on how to create a channel banner.
And I've talked about that in a couple
of different ways on videos that I'm going to link up
in the card right now in the top of the screen
and the link also be in the description
of this video.
But that being said,
I've got some pre-made ones I'm going to upload one of my
random channel banners that are already
optimized for YouTube and show how to upload it.
We're going to click on Customised Channel.
Takes us to the old layout of course.
Click on channel art and you get this dialogue where we can
select a photo from our computer.
So I'm just gonna navigate and grab one of my
channel art layouts.
Okay,
this is from a really old tutorial —
channel art I've grabbed from a really old
version of my my channel.
You can see uh I think it was the original one
where I did it in GIMP.
It looks like the GIMP one.
So it's a little bit all over the shop,
but it will do for the purposes of my testing.
And of course for the tutorials.
So now we've loaded that up you can see that it's loaded
in the image and then all you have to do is click select
and you can see it is saving up here so save and there it is.
Yeah,
that's a really old one there but we're just gonna use
that for demonstration purposes.
Update that one with a little bit more of a snazzy test
channel one a little bit later.
There it is.
We've uploaded the channel so let's get back
to the other view.
Get that to kick back on over to the new layout.
So there it is,
in all it's black and white goodness.
Now we have a channel banner,
we have our profile picture.
We don't have any content.
So in the next video we can actually look at how
to upload a video to YouTube.
Yep,
we're getting into the nuts and bolts now.
So that will be in the next episode of YouTube for Newbs,
and I’ll see you then.
There you go.
You should now be able to upload your channel art
if you haven't done so already if you didn't
walk through with me,
then you can go ahead and do that when you're ready.
Feel free to go back and go step by step through it.
If you missed any of the steps.
Make sure to stick around for episode four,
where we're going to talk about all things uploading
your YouTube videos to YouTube.
Well,
make sure if you haven't caught the early
episodes from the playlist,

it on the end screen of this video.
