It took me forever to figure out that only brand channel managers can see and edit video content. A personal channel also allows you to create a manager under permissions but they cannot see the video content. RUclips should NOT have that! Super confusing for beginners!
The problem I have is that I made one of my RUclips channels with almost 10k subs into a brand channel, and I didnt' want it to be. How do I revoke that brand channel without deleting the whole thing?
Super helpful! I've setup my branded channel and set a calendar invite for 30 days from now (32 days to be safe) to do the transition. Thanks, as always, David!
@@buddahgamess2509 I haven't done it yet as I am currently in the middle of a 10 day livestream challenge and don't want to chance it! But I'm sure it will be all good. I'll be doing it next week.
I want to hand over my RUclips channel to my son, will he get the subscribers and the Comments also.what is the best solution for this. must he create a brand channel. thanks in advance
That was interesting. I have a coworker that is into this stuff and he is going to start helping me so I like having the manager part with security levels.Hope you are having a blessed week.
@@DavidWalshOnline so I did exactly what you said here I signed up for a brand channel or so I thought. Because I remember it asking me... So I thought it was a done deal. Also in my settings there are prompts for adding moderators, etc .. It seems like mine is a brand channel... But then I saw a button asking me if I wanted to move my channel to a brand channel!?? That threw me off!! I'm confused. How to tell if it's already a brand channel? And is they something you can just set up when you sign up and be done? Like you just said? Thank you.
Thank you SOOOOO much. I was watching the 2019 version and got really frustrated when it wasn't working but then i went on your channel and looked up how to do it and the 2021 version came up. I was so happy. Thank you again!
OMG... I just got here from that vide... I tried to brand my orginal account over a year ago and it didnt' work and just tried it on my New Channel, didnt' work. Now I am here! 🐹
What's the difference in a brand channel and a personal channel? Is there benefits of a brand channel? I have 2 channels, one that is monetized and one that is not. Can I mix the 2 in a brand channel to make both channels monetized or does that matter?
So, does this mean it's a brand channel by default when you first set one up? Or do I have to create a channel, upload a video so there's some content to move, then go through the switching process?
Thank you sir,it worked smoothly the first time. Now I was finally able to change my channel name. Thanks a lot, and keep on posting astonishing content like that. Best Regards!
Thanks david. I am planning to move my personal youtube to my new youtube account, my old personal youtube channel got demonetized. Can I still apply monetization for my new brand channel after the transfer? thanks david. More power
Hello David, I just tried to move my older channel to a brand, just like you showed us. After finishing every step, I got notification to wait about 10 minutes. After waiting I tried to loggin into my account and I got this: "An error occurred while attempting to create a RUclips account. Please try again later.". Now I not able to enter my youtube channel. Did you experience similar problem and do you know how to resolve this? Thank you in advance!
@@magmaandfrosty6340 I log in into my channel from RUclips Creator, and it worked! At first my channel was restricted in a way that I could only watch videos, but not see my channel studio, my subs, etc. After that, couple a days has passed and now everything seems to work fine. I don’t know if it mattered that I signed up through Creator or it just took a while for the channel to refresh… Then i waited 7 days to become the primary owner and that’s it. Hope it helps.
@@SameerKhan-ju1xz It was a while ago, i can't really remember if it was automatic or if I had to set the url afterwards, but the custom url is definitely set now.
I need to ask you something. I have 2 RUclips channels. Both have videos on them. Can i move the videos from 1 RUclips channel to the other youtube channel and still have all videos from both RUclips channels on 1 RUclips channel?
Hello i really liked your video, i just want to ask one thing when you move your personal channel to the brand channel does all the subscriptions you made on ur personal channel get transferred to ur brand channel as well?
Thanks for this David. Do you know if losing the engagement from the likes and comments of your personal channel will mess up the algos when you transfer to a branded account? Seems like you would need those to determine if your channel is what people are looking for since engagement is kinda key too, ya know?
These all channels are connected with your single Google Account but if I'll have to change my RUclips channel to another Google account then what will be the steps... Waiting for your reply..
Quick question - do you need a brand account to have a custom URL now? I have a personal account that fits all the criteria, 100 subscribers, 30 days old etc... but the custom URL option isn't showing. In your video you mentioned moving the URL from a personal so I'm confused why the option isn't available for me. Thank you!
When I transfer my existing from personal to a brand channel, does my subscribers, video views, video likes and monetization eligibility also deleted? One of my other channel is eligible for monetization with over 17K subscribers, 1.8M lifetime views and lifetime watch hours of 240+ hours.
Must create the new brand account under the personal Gmail, even though intentions are to handover/move it to someone else's (different Gmail?) as a brand account? Or create the branded account under the new owner, then move from the old owner Gmail to the new branded acct under the new owner's Gmail?
Hi I did try this, youtube success message appeared, and then after 30 minutes I can't access my channels at all not old neither the branded one, could you please help?
Hi David, thanks for wonderful advice. Is it possible to move a monetized personal account to brand account without loosing monetization, subs, likes, comments? thank you
No, is the main account, the brand accounts depends from main. Each brand accounts collect own data on RUclips separately. Main account is alike as their mother of brand accounts. The earnings on the main account to your Google Pay.
I wish to do this but don't want to lose my 10+ years of RUclips data while moving. Sadly I wish RUclips just allowed setting up a different username while not changing username across all Google services.
@@AllanFrizzYT I am following the instructions in the video, at the end. I set up the Brand Account and will move this account over in 30 days. So, fingers crossed that will work.
I wish I saw this earlier I downloaded, re-uploaded to new channel and deleted on old channel EACH video. Only issue now is this channel I'm commenting with has 5000+ subscribers that I want to move to the new channel. Can I still do the above steps and MERGE everything or will it delete my new channel info?
Today I opened a new channel and I was wondering how do I know this is a brand channel or a personal channel? What’s the difference ? Because opening personal channel and a brand channel looks the same in methodology
After waiting 30 days to move the account over to the brand account, do we delete the custom name from the personal channel before moving it over or will it automatically move over if we wait 30 days?
Hi, i open the channel according to the guidelines but apparently it became a personal instead of brand. When you create a channel how do you make sure that you make it brand and not personal. it seems the same process to create both. so what is the difference?
I moved my channel to a brand channel and now my new videos don't have high impression rate even though they have high impression click through , likes and view duration. can anybody tell me what's the problem?
I'm confused about the purpose of this even though I've watched tons of videos on the subject. Does this process only apply to people who want to move videos from a personal account to a brand account? For example. If I create a google account, then create a personal youtube account from that, then I create a brand account and use that for uploading videos, do I still need to do this process? In other words, If all of my videos were uploaded on my brand account, is there any reason to move my personal channel to it?
We're having to move an existing brand channel to a new one because the manage permissions button is missing and there is no easy way to contact RUclips support to fix that. Nightmare. 😅

Thank you David I'm from Uganda! I have tried many times to add managers to my channel over and over watched your videos but im failing Help me
When we move our channel from the main to the brand one do our videos will have views and be public or Will be draft as it was in your Video??

Fantastic. Now you have the tools to set this up. Doing AMAZING here. Hope it’s the same there 😎
is it compulsory to move the personal channel to a brand channel?
Very interesting. Will think about creating a Brand channel but my preferred option is to create a new channel and not move my current one.
You can create a new one, but make it as a Brand Channel. Easier all round when you do 👍
@@DavidWalshOnline so I did exactly what you said here

can I transfer my official artist channel to a brand channel?

Would be cool if you just got into the how part
Thanks for the video. One question, Moving channel#1 to channel#2. Will this delete the content in channel #2
David, after creating and moving the account… why do I still have two channel options? I thought one would be deleted?
So, does this mean it's a brand channel by default when you first set one up? Or do I have to create a channel, upload a video so there's some content to move, then go through the switching process?
