Tips and tricks for managing your business with Google’s solutions
Creating your next channel just got a lot easier
Thursday, July 18, 2013

YouTube Partners & Creators Blog

Previously, every channel you created needed to have its own Google account login. If you’re a creator that manages many channels, you might even have a spreadsheet to organize the various email addresses and passwords you use to log in to your channels.
We made a significant improvement to the multiple channel management experience recently when we launched the option to
connect your existing channels with a Google+ page
. Google+ page connected channels have
enhanced channel management features
that allow you to manage up to 50 channels with a single login, and multiple individuals can manage your channel with their own logins.
Now, when you sign up for a new channel you’ll have an option to create this new channel connected with a Google+ page. This will allow you to create new channels using a Google account that you already use to manage your other channels and Google+ pages. This is a significant simplification of the channel signup process, so we encourage you to take advantage of this when you’re creating new channels going forward.
Create a new channel connected to a new Google+ page
1.Sign in to a Google account that you use individually - maybe it’s a Google account you already use to manage other channels and Google+ pages, or it’s the Google account you use in the YouTube Content Manager.
2.Go to
www.youtube.com/channel_switcher
and click Create a new channel.
3.Provide a name for your new channel and Google+ page, and click Done to complete the signup process. Remember, channels connected with Google+ pages can have names that include spaces and punctuation if that’s what you want.
Create a new channel connected to an existing Google+ page
1.Sign in to a Google account that is the
manager or owner
of the Google+ page with which you want your new channel to be connected.
2.Go to
www.youtube.com/channel_switcher
and click the name and avatar of the Google+ page for which you want to create a new channel.
3.You’ll be asked to confirm you want to create a new channel for this page, so click OK to complete the signup process.
Additional tips for your new channel
You can add others as a manager of the new channel and page (
instructions
). Remember, we encourage everyone to use their own logins to manage channels, rather than using shared logins!
Your new channel URL will look something like the URL below, so if you’d like a custom URL that is easier to remember,
follow these steps
