or brand YouTube channel.

A personal YouTube channel is a great choice

if you want to comment on videos or post your own.

First, you should go to YouTube.com

and sign in to your account.

Next, click or tap your profile image.

You should find this in the top-right corner of the screen.

Then, click or tap "Create a channel."

In the window that appears, click "GET STARTED."

In the next window, click "SELECT"

under the option that says, "Use your name."

Your personal YouTube channel is now created.

You'll be redirected to a page

where you can customize more settings.

You can also set these up later by scrolling

to the bottom of the page and clicking "SET UP LATER."

The process is similar on mobile.

Tap your profile image,

choose "Your channel,"

enter your name in the dialogue that appears,

and tap "CREATE CHANNEL" to finish the process.

If you're a brand that wants to manage

multiple YouTube channels from a single dashboard

and have managers for each channel,

then you need a brand account.

You won't be able to make a brand account on mobile,

so make sure you're signed in on the computer for this.

To create one, you should first sign in to YouTube

with the Google account you want to use

to create a new channel.

Then click your profile image,

then "Create a channel."

Choose "GET STARTED," then click "SELECT"

under the option that says, "Use a custom name."

This will take you to a new page

where you'll enter the brand account name

that you want to use.

Agree to the terms, then click "CREATE" to save.

Your new channel is ready.

You can visit the YouTube Channel Switcher

to see a list of all the YouTube channels

owned by your account.

This is where you'll switch

between your created YouTube channels

or create new ones.

You might notice that you don't have the option

to customize your channel URL yet.

This becomes available after your channel has existed

for 30 days and has at least 100 subscribers.

Once you've created your channel,

you'll be able to upload your first video.
