Thank you so much!!! I literally CANNOT thank you more than a million. A TRILLION!! I wanted to move my channel over to a new account and there i have it, simple as that.
3:08 - My screen looks completely different after I get the option to choose my Brand accounts. It says my current channel will be deleted (one i'm sending my message from). It looks nothing like your screen..
Please the current gmail on my youtube channel was disabled. If I should switch to branded and change primary gmail to another gmail account, can I apply with the new primary gmail for monetization on same RUclips channel ?
Gday, If I was a betting man I would say the content you follow would quickly catch up to your preferences because of the algorithms running which are dedicated to serving you more of what you are looking for and seem to want. That said, I don't know for sure. I can not find any information that confirms it one way or the other.
Hey so I did this and now when I try to log back in it says “error fetching channel list for that account” so my main channel is still there but I can’t log into it is there a reason for this?
Hi, not sure why it happens, but instances I have heard of this have been fixed by people disconnecting their wifi, removing the app and reinstalling if on a phone, and switching google account or logging out and logging back in again. Never happened to me though sorry so this is only from what I have seen in research.
Isome stated that if you open the branded account for 30 days before transferring, you can use the custom URL on the new branded account? Have you had success with that?
I’m having trouble with the verbiage. What is the difference between a branded and personal account. I want to move my channel to another email that I’ve created that has my channel name in the email address. Is that what you mean by branded account?
A personal account is the RUclips Channel created by default when setting up the RUclips Account. It becomes the default account for the channel. A brand account is an additional channel (like a sub account) that can be created that and also allows other people to be added as mangers (which is not possible on a personal account). Think of it like the personal account being your block of land (homebase) that you own and get access to though your email address. That homebase has all your stuff on it (videos, subscribers etc) That email and password is the only way in. A brand account is like a separate block of land that you buy (2ndproperty) that you own, and you can access through your email address and password, but you can also hire a property manager and give them access with their own email and password. They can work in it but you own it. You can revoke their access at any time. That 2ndproperty is empty when created but you can add stuff to it (videos and subscribers ec) . What you put on your homebase will not appear in the 2ndproperty because they are separate properties. To move a personal account to a brand account is like taking the stuff on your homebase and moving it to a 2ndproperty. This now allows access to be granted to others as described above. When you do this the 2ndproperty takes on teh name of the homebase property and the homebase is now empty and reverts to the name of the email that owns it. This new home is empty and can have stuff (vids and subs) added to it again.
In your situation the channel is owned by the email that you set it up with. You would need to change the channel to a brand account, assign the other email address as a manager, then move ownership of the channel to the other email. Each step takes a certain amount of days to do in the system. So yo take the action (eg move the stuff form personal channel to 2nd channel) then you have to wait a bit before you can assign ownership to the new email. Does that help?
You said when we moved the personal account over to a brand account, we will loose the custom url on the brand account. So that means my personal accounts url will now become my brands url? If so that's great I want 2 use the url that is on my personal account.
Hi Shatina, you asked this under someone elses question so moving it here to consolidate our conversation: I made a personal account by mistake. I was trying to make a brand account 4 my business & was interrupted & made a personal.. I tried 2 move my personal over 2 a brand & now I sumhow 2 accounts with the same name. 1 personal & now 1 brand. Problem is I wanted my personal to be moved to a brand since it has a custom domain on it. This new brand account that it created win I tried 2 move the personal does not have the custom domain I paid for on it. So now if I switch my personal that has the paid domain over to a brand, will my paid domain name move over to the brand as well?? Thanks Can you clarify what you are referring to when you say custom domain please. Do you mean the custom URL you can set when you hit 100 subscribers? or is this a domain name that you have purchased like shatinahouston.com? I ask because you mentioned you paid for it and a RUclips custom URL does not need to be paid for.
What happens to your personal account? In terms of the about page.. strange ask i know. I'm simply curious, I'd like to move to a brand account, but this personal account is a bit of a relic that i wish to keep (for some daft reason, dont worry, you videomade it clear all the content goes, but the channel its self?)
oh great question. I don't actually know if the about page is kept in place sorry. I would copy and paste it into a word doc for safety before moving just in case.
Sir. I've got several accounts and when I follow your instructions and reached advanced settings there's no option to move to a brand account. Can you kindly help me with this?
If none for them are showing a brand account then I can only guess that they are all personal accounts, and that you will need to create a brand account first. See at 1:15 in the video where it takes you to settings, add or manage channel. If you go there and there are no brand accounts the you will need to create a new brand account first so you have somewhere to move it all to.
tnx.... but when i moved my channel to brand channel its writing that (youtube channel being moved) this is the chamnel that will be moved what is that mean?
Hi, that will be the same thing that is happening form around 3:09 to approx 3:35 in the video. It is showing you what the channel is moving from and what it is moving to. The new Brand account will receive all the videos, subscribers and viewer comments, and if there is anything on the destination brand account before the move that will all be overwritten by the old channel when it is moved.
I've a question, I just added a new channel in this same personal account So, if I'd like to get ppl to help me ha mange my channel, they'll be able to see my personal channel too? Or my personal Google account?
I don't believe so. They should only have access to the brand account you make them a manager on. I am a manager on a couple of different YT accounts for people and can not see their emails, or any other google related info except the YT channel and analytics.
@@mrpaulsadams ok got it, so what password do the managers have? I mean it will be my personal Google account so what password do they need to become managers of my yt channel?
@@asdf01 when you move the chanel.to a brand account you can invite them to be a manager and your yt channel will appear in their list of accounts. They can swap into your channel like swapping into any other channel. Go to the channel ic9n, choose switch accohnt, thwn select the account. They will then be able to uoad, comment, cge k anayltics etc. If you give them full access they can add and delete content so be sure it is someone ypu can trust. I am not able to dig any deeper right now but I can't recall off the top of my head what sort of access levels there are that can be assigned.
Hello sir, do you know how to change my channel from bussiness to personal? I mistakenly created account as a bussiness channel. I have to change it to personnal now
You would need to ensure the Google Account has a personal RUclips account created. If you have moved it from personal to brand account the original RUclips account may be there but empty, or may not be there at all in which case you need to just create the RUclips account ruclips.net/video/aKydtOXW8mI/видео.html&ab_channel=RUclipsCreators then you should be able to do the same process of moving the channel but choosing the personal account as the destination account. Same rules apply - if there is any new content on the personal channel it will be overwritten.
👏👏 Bravo Fella! Comment before moving to main topic but i saw you put pretty much *investment for your tube setup* good luck i think people should help you without your request
But why when I clicked on the “move account to brand account” I got a website that said sensitive action blocked and I don’t know what to do now pls help
Hard to know what may be causing it but this is a link to the Google KB which has some info about this. Maybe worth trying to set up two step verification and try again. support.google.com/accounts/answer/7162782?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid#zippy=%2Cyou-get-a-sensitive-action-blocked-message
it states it will delete all vids subscribers and comments etc. is there a way that my videos move over? im getting the warning ' the following will be permanently delted'
That is correct. Any content already on he channel you are moving to will be overwritten by the content from the channel you are moving from. If you want to keep the content that content you will need to move it first, or just create a new empty brand account to move the channel to.
Hey Toxic Chip, you can make money from a personal channel same as you can on a brand account. Things like affiliate marketing links, brand deals, merch Shelf and promoting your own products as some examples are all possible regardless of which type of account you have. Those things will come in time as you develop a dedicated audience, reach certain levels of subscribers and watch time to meet RUclipss requirements for monetisation, or serve a need well enough in your videos that people want to purchase your product or service. The benefit of having a brand account over a personal account is having that ability to have another person get access to help manage the channel without needing your personal password.
hi I've been trying to find help on doing the opposite (moving from brand to personal) as ive unintentionally used my brand acc as my personal for years not realising it is a brand, and i want to transfer all data from my brand to personal- particularly watch history, subs and recommendations. but then will the move from brand to personal delete account data from my personal outside of youtube (gmail, drive, etc). will doing this also give me the option to edit channel/account name as I can't do this on my brand
Hey Cali I have never done this myself however I can't see that it would delete anything outside of YT because you are just moving the content form your YT Channel from one location to another location. If the other account already exists and has content on the YT channel that will be overwritten by the content you move but it should not affect gmail, drive etc. The process from what I have read about it elsewhere is that it is essentially the same as moving from personal to brand. You just choose the account you want to move the videos to and it should work the same. There are a few forums on this on Google as well that might be worth looking up.

Seems like a glitch in the google side of things. I have seen some people mention this and the suggestions were log out and log in again. It may not have any effect though so a search through google and youtube support may be needed.
The only way I am aware of is by lodging an appeal. If you have had multiple violations of the standards it is unlikely it will be restored, but if you have had none, you may have a chance. support.google.com/youtube/answer/2802168?hl=en
I don't know why it would not be showing up either. If you go to RUclips, then open the menu by clicking on the channel icon image (top right hand corner) and select settings from the menu it should be around the middle of the screen. There is a Your RUclips Channel section on screen that should have a few options one of which should be to add or manage channels
Hey Banana Cake - from what I understand you could convert it to a brand account, assign a manager then make that manager the primary account owner. here are some inks to what google support says: support.google.com/youtube/answer/174100?hl=en support.google.com/accounts/answer/19870 support.google.com/youtube/answer/4628007

I just made me a Personal RUclips account yesterday by trying to go back and make it a Brandon account it would not let me do it can you please help me to create a new account so I can go and make a brain account
@@mrpaulsadams I made a personal account by mistake. I was trying to make a brand account 4 my business & was interrupted & made a personal..

i created a brand account to make the switch but mine only has the option to REPLACE and tells me it will delete everything not just comments. What am i doing wrong?
In a sense what you have written is expected. The old channel will replace the new empty brand account's content and will be removed from the current personal account. So technically ti is being deleted from the old personal account. Is this what the wording is suggesting? if not can you copy and paste the wording here?
@@mrpaulsadams thanks for the quick response. It’s says: The following will be permanently deleted: *this channel including its videos, subscribers, likes, and other channel content *comments that you made on RUclips *your replies and thumbs-up on comments *your search and watch history
@@AVRGJONES That seems like a different version of what I see at 3:30 in this video - it is telling you that this channel, the current channel you are working in will be deleted. Which is essentially what happens. The videos get moved and the channel you are in deleted. Check out the video at 3:30 and see if it feels like what you are seeing.
Hi, As far as my testing goes it is not possible. When you try to save the name with emoji's it returns an error saying 'some characters are not allowed'
@@asur2557 ok, so research so far says that it was something able to be done over 3 years ago but Google changed it's policy and stopped the ability for it to happen. It appears that some channels slipped through the cracks when the change took place. Emojis added from a right click in the name section or by copying and pasting from a site like getemoji.com no longer works. I have tested a bunch and that is everything I am seeing in the chats I have found. Googles policy says: (the below has been copied and pasted from the help documentation) Content policy for "About me" information / Google Account name and impersonation There are few other restrictions on your name, but to prevent spam and abuse we might put some limits on names, such as limiting length and the use of some symbols and special characters. We also limit how often you can change your name, and some words and phrases are not allowed. If you find otherwise would be super interested to hear about it!!
@@mrpaulsadams Hi thanks for the video. what about the watch hours, views and monetization if a monetized personal account is moved to brand account? thank you

@@mrpaulsadams my brand account have videos and my subscribers i want that account to be my main account. My actual main account doesn’t have videos or any subscribers and i want that to be my brand account hopefully i explain it good enough for you or anyone to understand
@@nelmsie So when you say 'The Main Account' is that the personal account attached to your RUclips / Gmail login? So you want to name your RUclips Account the same as that account?
Hey Andreas, sorry that wasn't clear. You are right I mention that you lose the custom URL at 3:32 but not how to get it back. The new account needs to meet the RUclips standard for a Custom URL which means you will need to wait for the new channel to be 30 days old then reclaim your URL. Custom URL eligibility To create a custom URL for your channel, your account needs to: Have 100 or more subscribers. Be at least 30 days old. Have an uploaded profile picture. Have an uploaded banner image.
Hi, since posting this video I have discovered that this is a known issue and usually resolves itself in 48-72 hours. Past that you may need to contact RUclips / Google to have them investigate it. I have seem some recommendations to not post for the duration you are waiting.
After I change my personal to brand account I can’t use google to log into my RUclips account all I see is a monkey 🐒 that says oops : something went wrong lol 😂? Help?
Oh that is a little odd. Never seen that happen before. You should be able to still log in with the email you had and access the channel. I can see your subscriber count on the message here so it must still be there. Have you been able to get in since?
Can i invite another gmail address to manage a brand account? Reasons i asked is because, the gmail connected to my youtube channel was disabled for Adsense two years ago without my knowledge, i think someone used it for Adsense and violated the rules, so Adsense was disabled for that gmail. But now that is the same gmail i am using for my official youtube channel and all these while i have been chasing watch hour and subscribers for monetization, now i have gotten the sub and monetization, i applied for Adsense but they referred that this gmail i am using for my youtube channel was previously used for Adsense on a website and it was also disabled, and for this my application was rejected. Which brings me of asking if i can change gmail address on that channel through branding so I can apply to Adsense with a different gmail but same youtube channel that i have suffered to grow all these while. Thank you for listening to me please assist me. God bless.
Hi, Yes you can add someone else to manage a brand account. Navigate to yur icon (top left) click settings, add or remove mangers. I do not know how to move your youtube account to be owned by anther email. It maybe possible. I would do a dig into the help centre and see what you can find about channel ownership because I have heard there are channels that are sold and so it makes sense to me that there could be a way to do it, but I have not done the search myself sorry.
This is a nightmare...I can't get anything done...the Google idiots are useless. All I want to do is delete an email and change the channel over to a different one.
Hey @balletbabyboy sorry to hear about your frustrations. The only way I can think that you could do this is to: Ensure the YT channel is a brand account set up a new google account with the new email. Make that new email / account an owner on the YTchannel make the new google account the primary owner if the channel remove permissions from the old google account. Be aware there may be some wait time required between these steps.

Those things will come in time as you develop a dedicated audience, reach certain levels of subscribers and watch time to meet RUclipss requirements for monetisation, or serve a need well enough in your videos that people want to purchase your product or service.
The benefit of having a brand account over a personal account is having that ability to have another person get access to help manage the channel without needing your personal password.
hi I've been trying to find help on doing the opposite (moving from brand to personal) as ive unintentionally used my brand acc as my personal for years not realising it is a brand, and i want to transfer all data from my brand to personal- particularly watch history, subs and recommendations. but then will the move from brand to personal delete account data from my personal outside of youtube (gmail, drive, etc). will doing this also give me the option to edit channel/account name as I can't do this on my brand
Hey Cali I have never done this myself however I can't see that it would delete anything outside of YT because you are just moving the content form your YT Channel from one location to another location. If the other account already exists and has content on the YT channel that will be overwritten by the content you move but it should not affect gmail, drive etc.
The process from what I have read about it elsewhere is that it is essentially the same as moving from personal to brand. You just choose the account you want to move the videos to and it should work the same. There are a few forums on this on Google as well that might be worth looking up.
If you've not been monitized before moving to brand account, please does it have any effect or another procedure to monetize a brand channel?
Hi, moving your channel to a Brand Account will not affect your channel's monetization. Watch hours on videos and views also move with the videos
@@mrpaulsadams Ok. Thank you so much for your response. It helped me a lot.

Are you a member of the SCA?
Yes I am :)
@@mrpaulsadams Greetings from the Shire of Ad Flumen Caerulum in the wonderful lands of Drachenwald then - or greetings from Austria! Your video was very helpful!
@@KawauMusic Greetings from The Barony of St Florian in Lochac. I was wondering how you knew then realised my scrolls are in the background of that shot:)
Great to hear from another SCAdian and congrats on the success of your channel. ❤
Hi, at 1:31 it doesnt show the list of channels instead it shows 'invalid request'. How to solve this?
Seems like a glitch in the google side of things. I have seen some people mention this and the suggestions were log out and log in again. It may not have any effect though so a search through google and youtube support may be needed.
Thank you very much this was so helpful
Pleased it helped you, thanks for stopping by :)
I got a question is there a way I can recover my brand account it was linked to a RUclips account that just got terminated
The only way I am aware of is by lodging an appeal. If you have had multiple violations of the standards it is unlikely it will be restored, but if you have had none, you may have a chance.

Thanks man I really need your help
My pleasure.
Hi there,
I am not sure why I don't see "Add or Manage your channel" in my Settings .
I don't know why it would not be showing up either.
If you go to RUclips, then open the menu by clicking on the channel icon image (top right hand corner) and select settings from the menu it should be around the middle of the screen. There is a Your RUclips Channel section on screen that should have a few options one of which should be to add or manage channels
Can you transfer a brand account into a personal account? Do you also start from scratch?
I haven't done that myself, but this person seems to have: ruclips.net/video/o5NJpBBsyik/видео.htmlsi=OPLecnYX4zFGz9IX
Is there a way to change the primary gmail address? So that is no longer associated with the channel
Hey Banana Cake - from what I understand you could convert it to a brand account, assign a manager then make that manager the primary account owner.
here are some inks to what google support says:

I just made me a Personal RUclips account yesterday by trying to go back and make it a Brandon account it would not let me do it can you please help me to create a new account so I can go and make a brain account
Hi, so for clarity - You made a personal RUclips account, then went to turn that into a brand account but you were not able to is that right?
@@mrpaulsadams I made a personal account by mistake. I was trying to make a brand account 4 my business & was interrupted & made a personal.. I tried 2 move my personal over 2 a brand & now I sumhow 2 accounts with the same name. 1 personal & now 1 brand. Problem is I wanted my personal to be moved to a brand since it has a custom domain on it.
This new brand account that it created win I tried 2 move the personal does not have the custom domain I paid for on it.
So now if I switch my personal that has the paid domain over to a brand, will my paid domain name move over to the brand as well?? Thanks
Literally I really have accounts RUclips but I want to reverse my account in account business give me a deal about how I could do it please
Hi, I am sorry I am not exactly sure what you are wanting to do. Do you want to revert a brand account back to a personal account?
i created a brand account to make the switch but mine only has the option to REPLACE and tells me it will delete everything not just comments. What am i doing wrong?
In a sense what you have written is expected. The old channel will replace the new empty brand account's content and will be removed from the current personal account. So technically ti is being deleted from the old personal account. Is this what the wording is suggesting? if not can you copy and paste the wording here?
@@mrpaulsadams thanks for the quick response. It’s says:
The following will be permanently deleted:
*this channel including its videos, subscribers, likes, and other channel content
*comments that you made on RUclips
*your replies and thumbs-up on comments
*your search and watch history
I’m not sure if it’s saying it will delete this channel I’m using now or the new branded one since content is being switch over
@@AVRGJONES That seems like a different version of what I see at 3:30 in this video - it is telling you that this channel, the current channel you are working in will be deleted. Which is essentially what happens. The videos get moved and the channel you are in deleted. Check out the video at 3:30 and see if it feels like what you are seeing.
man this guy deserves more subs
haha appreciacte that :) Still pretty new to the game so that will grow over time. Thanks for checking out the video.
Yes he does. Just subscribe.
Thanks it was helpful 😊
Glad it helped!
@@mrpaulsadams Yes 😀 once again thanks 👍
bro can u tell me how to add emojis in youtube channel name....its very kind of h😊
Hi, As far as my testing goes it is not possible. When you try to save the name with emoji's it returns an error saying 'some characters are not allowed'
@@mrpaulsadams yup bro u r right ......but how can some peoples able to add emojis with their name?😂🤔
@@asur2557 ooo I don't know. Do you have any examples (channel links) ? I have not seen any myself.
@@asur2557 I am even more curious now. I will have to go do some research :)
@@asur2557 ok, so research so far says that it was something able to be done over 3 years ago but Google changed it's policy and stopped the ability for it to happen. It appears that some channels slipped through the cracks when the change took place.
Emojis added from a right click in the name section or by copying and pasting from a site like getemoji.com no longer works. I have tested a bunch and that is everything I am seeing in the chats I have found.
Googles policy says: (the below has been copied and pasted from the help documentation)
Content policy for "About me" information / Google Account name and impersonation
There are few other restrictions on your name, but to prevent spam and abuse we might put some limits on names, such as limiting length and the use of some symbols and special characters. We also limit how often you can change your name, and some words and phrases are not allowed.
If you find otherwise would be super interested to hear about it!!

How do I use an existing personal account and turn it into a brand account I didn't catch that part
Hey Raymond, easiest way would be to watch the video and follow the steps outlined. Much easier than typing out the whole process here.
@@mrpaulsadams thanks I did it 🙏
@@nrlpeace5596 tremendous!!!
Hey man do you help accounts?
Hey there, what do you mean by help accounts? What do you need?

I'd say just make a brand channel off your personal one, that way you have two that you can bounce between, lol
Definitely another option.
@@mrpaulsadams Hi thanks for the video. what about the watch hours, views and monetization if a monetized personal account is moved to brand account? thank you
@@mandeepSinghGillkarmsavi Hi, moving your channel to a Brand Account will not affect your channel's monetization. Watch hours on videos and views also move with the videos. :)

How can make my brand account into my main account will i lose my videos and subscribers
Hi, I am not quite sure what you mean? Can you describe in more detail what you currently have set up? Do you have a personal account and a brand account already? do they both have videos and subscribers?
@@mrpaulsadams my brand account have videos and subscribers my main doesn’t
@@nelmsie cool, so when you say you want it to be your main channel can you explain what you mean by that?
What is happening now, what would you like to happen?
@@mrpaulsadams my brand account have videos and my subscribers i want that account to be my main account. My actual main account doesn’t have videos or any subscribers and i want that to be my brand account hopefully i explain it good enough for you or anyone to understand
@@nelmsie So when you say 'The Main Account' is that the personal account attached to your RUclips / Gmail login? So you want to name your RUclips Account the same as that account?

very helpful for me.
Glad to hear that, thanks
Please everybody I feel me

Your Welcome!
I didn't like this video. It doesn't explain well what happens with the custom url
Hey Andreas, sorry that wasn't clear. You are right I mention that you lose the custom URL at 3:32 but not how to get it back. The new account needs to meet the RUclips standard for a Custom URL which means you will need to wait for the new channel to be 30 days old then reclaim your URL.
Custom URL eligibility
To create a custom URL for your channel, your account needs to:
Have 100 or more subscribers.
Be at least 30 days old.
Have an uploaded profile picture.
Have an uploaded banner image.
I moved my channel to brand 12 hours ago but still the videos and subscribers haven't showed up pls help
Hi, since posting this video I have discovered that this is a known issue and usually resolves itself in 48-72 hours. Past that you may need to contact RUclips / Google to have them investigate it. I have seem some recommendations to not post for the duration you are waiting.
@@mrpaulsadams Okay thank you very much do u have Instagram?
@@aniket8177 not for this channel yet. my personal one is not used as much or s well as it should be but is @paulsadams

Aweful Stuck in brand new account?! This is aweful for me now I cant find my now current main chanel I wanted to add the other Chanels too....
I am sorry to hear that. Is there no options when you select your channel icon as shown at 3:45 in the video?
After I change my personal to brand account I can’t use google to log into my RUclips account all I see is a monkey 🐒 that says oops : something went wrong lol 😂? Help?
Oh that is a little odd. Never seen that happen before. You should be able to still log in with the email you had and access the channel. I can see your subscriber count on the message here so it must still be there. Have you been able to get in since?
@@mrpaulsadams Thanks it took a couple days but I got back in, it was weird…
Actually it stop working again smh 🤦🏻♂️ IDK! It worked fine this morning…. Sucks

Hello
Hi there.
Can i invite another gmail address to manage a brand account?
Reasons i asked is because, the gmail connected to my youtube channel was disabled for Adsense two years ago without my knowledge, i think someone used it for Adsense and violated the rules, so Adsense was disabled for that gmail. But now that is the same gmail i am using for my official youtube channel and all these while i have been chasing watch hour and subscribers for monetization, now i have gotten the sub and monetization, i applied for Adsense but they referred that this gmail i am using for my youtube channel was previously used for Adsense on a website and it was also disabled, and for this my application was rejected.
Which brings me of asking if i can change gmail address on that channel through branding so I can apply to Adsense with a different gmail but same youtube channel that i have suffered to grow all these while. Thank you for listening to me please assist me. God bless.
Hi, Yes you can add someone else to manage a brand account. Navigate to yur icon (top left) click settings, add or remove mangers.
I do not know how to move your youtube account to be owned by anther email. It maybe possible.
I would do a dig into the help centre and see what you can find about channel ownership because I have heard there are channels that are sold and so it makes sense to me that there could be a way to do it, but I have not done the search myself sorry.
@@mrpaulsadamsThank you ❤
This is a nightmare...I can't get anything done...the Google idiots are useless. All I want to do is delete an email and change the channel over to a different one.
Hey @balletbabyboy sorry to hear about your frustrations. The only way I can think that you could do this is to:
Ensure the YT channel is a brand account
set up a new google account with the new email.
Make that new email / account an owner on the YTchannel
make the new google account the primary owner if the channel
remove permissions from the old google account.
Be aware there may be some
wait time required between these steps.

@@mrpaulsadams Thanks. I am going crazy with Dell right now. The channel is not a brand account. I have other gmail accounts though incuding one RUclips account. It's all very confusing. Months ago I had them on chat and they couldn't figure it out. Ridiculous how they make this impossible.
I feel ya. The endless cycle of transfers or even worse the endless cycle of automated bots that keep redirecting you back to the same unhelpful answers are frustrating.
@@mrpaulsadams when the google dummies can't figure it out...what can I say! What do they do? Pay all these people to come up with impossible codes, confusing and infinitely confusing directions that nobody can figure out or what?!
@@mrpaulsadams i am looking at the screen you have up where it says add or manage your channel but that is not on either page in setting in either account I have.
