Create a new channel
With a Google Account, you can watch and like videos and subscribe to channels. However, without a YouTube channel, you have no public presence on YouTube. Even if you have a Google Account, you need to create a YouTube channel to upload videos, comment, or make playlists. You can use a computer or the YouTube mobile site to create a new channel.
Create a personal channel
Follow these instructions to create a channel that only you can manage using your Google Account.
1.Sign in to YouTube on a computer or using the mobile site.
2.Try any action that requires a channel, such as uploading a video, posting a comment, or creating a playlist.
3.If you don't yet have a channel, you'll see a prompt to create a channel.
4.Check the details (with your Google Account name and photo) and confirm to create your new channel.
Create a channel with a business or other name
Follow these instructions to create a channel that can have multiple managers or owners.
You can use a Brand Account to create a channel that has a different name but that's still managed from your Google Account. Learn more about Brand Accounts.
1.Sign in to YouTube on a computer or using the mobile site.
2.Go to your channel list.
3.Choose to create a new channel or use an existing Brand Account:
Create a new channel by clickingCreate a new channel.
Create a YouTube channel for a Brand Account that you already manage by choosing the Brand Account from the list. If this Brand Account already has a channel, you can't create a new one—you'll just be switched over to that channel if you select the Brand Account from the list.
