The reason someone would want to take videos from Channel A and MOVE them to Channel B is because Channel B is new. You want to ADD your old videos on Channel A --to--Channel B. NOT DELETE CHANNEL B!! That makes NO SENSE. I think you need to be more clear about what the results will be with your method in this video. CHANNEL B GETS DELETED. All you've done is REPLACE CHANNEL B with CHANNEL A. Again, I want to ADD my Channel A videos to Channel B. Why RUclips can't make this happen seems ridiculous.
@@ShayyanAli Thank you, I know it's totally impossible to find a solution!! So, what I did after all was to download and keep the videos from the two other accounts that I no longer wanted. Since I cannot "merge" them with my new Artist channel, and they were pretty small anyway (only about 20 videos) I just downloaded the videos and then deleted the accounts. Now I only have the one Artist channel. The new account has very few followers because I basically had to start from scratch! What a bummer. So, too bad I lost the other channels but I want people to find just the one channel. Maybe you would consider going there an following me? :) ruclips.net/channel/UCGPwPdd14muj8yI6MeSLUTg

I have a question if I transfer my new channel which has videos I want onto my old channel which is the one I'm using will have the subs that my new channel has which is 50 subs or will it have the subs it has right now 305 also will all the videos on this channel if I do what you did in the video, will it save all my old videos I have on this channel or not. Thank you for taking your time to read this comment and please help thanks
If you are transfering the new channel to the old one, and the new channel has 50 subs, the end channel will have 50 subs instead of the 305. Your old videos won't be saved and your new videos will be transfered
Most RUclips channels are registered under a brand account if they were made separate from your original google account.

If you look up how to merge channels, google also provides a guide for channels on different accounts. Unfortunately, google sucks at making life easy when it comes to RUclips so at the moment, this is the only method I can think of, and there are other methods that work, but after the changes in the UI for youtube studio, I have no idea how to replicate them.
If you move a video from one channel to another and delete the video from the original channel, it would break any links on social media, correct? Would you recommend that the original ones be made private or forward the original to the new location?
Depends on what the new channel is about. Similar to my current channel, if the old channel discussed tech-related items (hypothetically), and the new channel did the same thing but under a new name and/or purpose; then I would forward the original social media links to the new location. However, i would only do that IF it was appropriate. If there is no link (in terms of the social media being related to the same topic or context [hard to explain but i hope it makes sense.]). If the social media link isn't related or talks about something that you deem innapropriate for your channel, then don't forward the links to the new location. So basically. It depends on if it is appropriate and makes sense
@@ShayyanAli Thank you! The topics are basically the same so forwarding the URL does make sense. I just need to have it straight when I talk to the client. She may not care about any social media done on the 'to-be-moved-videos as may have been minimal. But we may have links on her site....ah the fun....
If I were to make a BRAND NEW account. With no vidoes, subscribers, views, etc. Would moving my current channel to the new channel be ideal? Since deleting an empty new account is better than deleting a new account with some videos, subs, views, etc already on it.
Will it destroy any of the old videos you have to your "new" account? After you've moved over the old videos to the new youtube, the videos in the new youtube won't disappear?
The videos on your old account will be transferred and all videos on your new account will basically be destroyed, or "replaced", by your other youtube account's stuff. Tbh, I wish youtube made it much easier for content creators to transfer videos from one account to another. But to answer your question, yes, if you asking if the new account's pre-existing videos will be destroyed, then the answer is yes.
I have 1 video on my old account I am trying to move to my recent account which has 20 videos.. I don’t want to lose all my contents views and progress. Will this delete all of my progress? Is there a way to move the 1 video along with the views and my subs to my recent account without losing anything?
Does it change custom Url i find that by not allowing to change custom URLs in the channel is a bad move by RUclips/google. at least they should let us hide it. even if we add handles the old link stays active.
You'll need to update this video as the way to get to advanced settings has changed a bit. I would appreciate it, if you know how, of a way to actually MOVE certain videos to a branded channel without downloading or copying video URLs to put into the video creator on the branded channel. I have about 80 videos I want to move to a branded channel and I really hope YT made it easier than what I've seen in videos so far (re-uploading or using the old video's URL to put it in the new channel's editor).
There used to be various methods, but all of them are extremely outdated with the new YT. And I tried to make sense of them but they were way to advance for me
@@EclecticianG Basically long ago the method I was looking at involved using account managers. And what it would do is that using brand accounts and stuff you would make the account a manager of the channel itself. After that you were able to move videos. But because of how yt is changing idk if the system changed, cause I had found a lot of difficulty in trying to make sense of the complicated method and trying to find ANY of the settings they were looking at. I can't even find the original video. If i do I will look at it again
Basically if on your google account you have a youtube channel, and you want to move this whole channel to a brand account, then you can do so. Vice versa, all under the one account. But when I say 'move', I meant that Channel A (old channel), will replace Channel B (new channel). Meaning anything in Channel B will be replaced by virtually all the content in Channel A except for the name and channel art of Channel B. Channel B's content will cease to exist, and Channel A will disappear after everything has moved to the new channel. I hope I am clear with this
All I want is to transfer my subscriptions to a new account, I've got videos I don't want deleted and transferred. I saw there was a way to do it on the old youtube but why it isn't available anymore beats me
Basically this only works with brand accounts under one account. A brand account is a second sub account you make when making mulitple channels under one Google account. What are you trying to achieve?
I have my sisters channel 7 years ago joined and mine is only 2 yrs, now i want to transfer all my videos and stufs to my sisters channel and i will take her channel as mine but im still strugling on how to make it only on mobile, its difficult (pls help) Ps: does the publish time on your video change when you move it? or it will stay
Publish times are the same, but all the videos and subs on her accounts will be deleted and replaced with yours. If you are having issues doing it on mobile, then use desktop, which I am guessing is not an option. So go to your chrome browser, open everything there. And then click the three dots in the top right corner and basically click the checkbox, 'View as Desktop', so it will display everything as if it were a desktop that was using or viewing the websites
@@ShayyanAli hey just forgot to ask if i transfer the vids to my sister channel does her channel joined time also change? like from 7 years ago will go to 2 years ago?
Greta video. But I’m not sure I would be able to do this. I have more than 1 channel. It was an accident along time ago. So- can I move the videos from one channel to the other channel? Or would I be deleting everything to create a new channel? Thank you
Basically because YT doesn't have an effective method. The best method I could think of was putting the two channels together. One replacing the other channel fully by deleting the channels old videos. And the channel that wasn't doing well got its videos reuploaded afterwards. Essentially, Channel A gets replaced by Channel B and Channel A's videos are reuploaded
So after this process... If I need to sign in to RUclips with my new account... Do I need to sign with that new Gmail and password??? Or with the old one???
Thanks for this Shayyan 🙏 does it completely delete the old channel? Also is there a way though to just move a specific video from one channel to another while retaining the views, likes and comments? Thanks again.
Unfortunately it does delete the content of the channel you are moving your previous to. However when you move all your videos you also retain all of your likes, comments and views. You can always download the videos of your channel using sites like youtubepp.com, just be careful of the ads, otherwise you cna download and save all teh videos that will be deleted and simply re-upload them
@@MuhammadAli-fj8qh Everything regarding your channel will be deleted and instead be moved to the other channel. Meaning your videos, subscribers, likes, and playlists will all be moved to the other channel. HOWEVER, I am not sure about your downloads, and anything on the new channel will de deleted and replaced by the old channel's content
Thank you for your sharing, Ali. there is a quick question that if the links to the videos would change after moved to channel B from Channel A? Thank you.
So, on your screen, it says move channel to your google account or to a different brand account. On my screen it just says move to a brand account. I'm trying to transfer everything to a different personal account, but I don't have the option to do that.
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?
Unfortunately youtube and google has made this shit so hard for everyone. Plus you used to be able to merge channels easily, but with the new yt studio and google abandoning the whole google+ system, it's very hard and even I can't figure out how the older methods work anymore. Sorry man 😞
So please I need help I try to Transfer but I lost my old channel and I lost all my videos 😞 and my channel is deleted in the end only this channel go to other email but nothing more I lost everything so please if you can help me i can open my old account again..?
This is also what I'm wondering. I really can't imagine that Google makes it this easy to erase your channel's past. It would be like a video game purposefully placing a hack into the menu.
by "remove current channel" do you mean like you wont be able to access it after words because it got deleted? or will it just remove the videos and you'll still be able to access it?
Question if i got 2 strikes on my old channel but dont want to lose my vids i made and other things and move it over to my new channel, do the strikes carry over to the new channel as well?
You could try this method and see if you do or not. Because you won't lose your subscribers or video. It's literally your old channel replacing your new one
Bro I need a help... My channel is now upgraded to an official artist channel. So after I change all my contents to another channel, do I need to claim again my OAC channel to my new RUclips channel??? Or
Brother I have merged my channel yesterday but still can not see my subscribers and videos on my new channel ..4K subscribers and 121 videos How long take time?
This is very confusing First, in your vid you mention moving from one channel to another channel, then in your description above you mention moving a channel to a different account. So which is it. Second, You did not clarify if you have a personal account or business account. But it looks very much like you have a personal account. The rules and policy seem to be different if it is personal to personal or personal to business, or business to business accounts.
You should be able to move it to a different account. There are small differences in the process though, read it here: support.google.com/youtube/answer/3056283?hl=en
But your URL will not change and that’s what the Algorithm recognizes. So, if you wasn’t consistent on the old channel, the Algorithm will still recognize your new channel as that same inconsistent channel and it won’t push your channel
The ones viewers have made on your videos from what I remember. But basically you have one channel replacing another channel. That's how this method works. So one channel will essentially be deleted
this process is so annoying because all it is doing is deleting a channel and the existing channel you wanted to move over to the new channel just stays there exactly as it is
I agree it's dumb but it's the most efficient thing I can find that doesn't use dangerous virus-ish software that risks losing your google account. There used to be a better method that is now extinct due to the loss of google plus
In other words I want to know how I can clone the same information in two or more profiles/channels so that the profiles co-exist without me deleting any of those profiles. Is there such a way? Is there such an option? That's what I want to know. I don't want to delete any of my channels. I want to save all my channels, I just want to clone the information from CHANNEL A to other channels in order to save this information in case something happens to CHANNEL A, for example. That's my goal.
I have a channel that I had two types of information on. I'd like to take one type and move it to a new channel I've created, but I don't want to delete the rest of it. Is that possible
@@SunIsLost Everything from the New Account would replace the Old account. So make sure your old account has all of its videos backed up (Meaning you downloaded them and are planning to re-upload them to the channel after everything has been converted)

Brother i want to know that if i transfer all data to new RUclips channel then is the RUclips count time start from zero for monitization when I upload videos to my new channel ...?
Thanks so much for posting this, so just a quick clarification: I understand that the videos, comments, etc. from my OLD channel will be transferred onto my NEW channel. But does that mean that everything I've already posted on my NEW channel will be deleted and that there is no way for it to simply merge with the new channel? In other words, the old channel's content will override all of the content on my new channel and replace it? I already have a new channel with videos and everything, but I don't want those to be deleted by transferring my old channel to it...
Unfortunately, that's the case, RUclips doesn't really have an ideal option yet for this. However, if you have a low number of views and comments and you would like to back up and re-upload the videos after everything has moved, then that would also work, however, obviously that would mean you would lose the videos on your new channel. I did that for this new channel, where I downloaded all of my videos and content (including descriptions etc.). And to download all of this you can go to video manager and download each video you uploaded.
@@ShayyanAli Aw man, that's such a bummer :/ because my new channel is also doing pretty well and I def don't want to lose the engagement I've got on those. It's just this one damn video on my old channel that's exploding and it's painful to watch ppl subbing to that old channel :/ Alright, well thanks! I REALLY hope they change this at some point because it just seems like it should be an option already...
Quick update that there seems to be a method that worked years ago where you have brand accounts working together transferring data nd stuff, but seeing how YT recently stopped using google plus and how YT changed a lot, it seems very unlikely that this would work. It is hard to understand how the method even works or if it works in the first place.
Your best bet is to download and re-upload the video to the other channel, if you don't want copy right strikes and stuff, just delete it from the old channel after you are odne
can i join google accounts? i have created 20 google accounts out of enthusiasm and now i want to merge all my google accounts into one, how is it possible....?
You'll probably have to look that one up soz. Mergingin google accounts is way different to channels since channels can't technically be merged through one process and needs to be done manually as shown in the video
Hi Shayyan - thanks so much for your thoughtful and very helpful video...I've watched this multiple times and am still unclear on what the outcome actually is? If I have x number of videos I want to move that are in Channel A and I want to move them to Channel B, which also contains x number of videos, once I move and click delete are you telling us that all of the videos that currently reside on Channel B will be permanently deleted by this process? It's not simply adding the A & B channels together in combination? Is the end result of the process you have carefully outlined that Channel B still remains intact with all its videos but now has the additional videos from Channel A? What am I missing? Thank you!
Yeah unfortunately Channel B does get deleted. There are some methods online which might work (in terms of moving without deleting), but I haven't tested them yet. Due to the recent changes in YT, I don't think it will work
@@ShayyanAli Thanks you so much fr the courtesy of your reply @Shayyan Ali! i really appreciate your taking the time do respond and answer! All the best to you mate!
At time mark 0:32, your drop down shows both of your accounts. I only see just the one with out signing out and logging in to the other. How do I get them both to show up o that drop down?
It's probably because I have both channels under one account. If you want to move your channel to another account, follow these steps: support.google.com/youtube/answer/3056283?hl=en
Is there a way to reverse this? I just wanted to move my videos from my channel to another because it has more subscribers but the one with the more subscribers got deleted >.
I want to move my content from channel A to B because channel B has my review videos and the content on Channel A has review videos I need to move to channel B. Channel A I want to keep because I am going to use it for something else. So if I use your me method do I have to delete channel A? I hope someone can answer my question.
Is there a way to transfer just a few videos from an old channel to a new channel? I only want to move 12 videos over, while leaving dozens of others on the old channel.
Can it be possible to move some selected videos (not all) from old channel to new channel but the old channel still remain as I would like to keep it specially for just one niche?
Other than re uploading I can't think of anything else. You shouldn't get copyright strikes, since it is your own video, and even if yt tries to give you strikes, you can deny them from your original channel
On your phone go to your new account type in your user name find your channel and go to your playlist and hit the download next to the right of the 1st video pick look like an arrow down lit curve
I have an important query to make. I would highly appreciate if someone could guide me. Objectives:: I have 2 youtube accounts on 2 different Gmail addresses. Both consist of a good number of subscribers. Now, I would like to merge both subscribers by merging both accounts in order to double the subscribers. Procedure I followed: I made my account A the brand youtube channel followed by an invitation to youtube account B. Then I logged into account B and accepted the invitation. Then within that account B, I accessed the “manage permission” and applied for “primary owner” from “owner”. Which says to wait for 7 days. Queries: 1) After getting the title of “primary owner after seven days would I be in a position to transfer either of the accounts with another one thus merging both accounts along with subscribers? 2) If the above answer is yes; then could you plz elaborate on the procedure of merging both the accounts including subscribers and videos after getting primary ownership. 3) In the entire process of transferring is there any chance to lose any one account’s subscribers? 4) How to avoid mishaps of losing subscribers? thanks. Hope to hear from someone soon:)
I have the same situation just yesterday i have the permission to be the primary owner of my second channel. I still dont have the confidence to follow those steps as it is a bit confusing when you read the procedures.
Everything including watch hours will be moved, just remember it will delete majority of your stuff in your new channel though. So please be mindful of that, I am trying to find a fix to figure out how people can work around it but at the moment we can only move one channel to another and the new channel's videos will be deleted and replaced with the old channel's videos
Shayyan Ali how about watch hour on new channel? It’s gone? So everything gone? How about subcriber on new channel.. its remain there or gone as well,, thanks

If you move a video from one channel to another and delete the video from the original channel, it would break any links on social media, correct? Would you recommend that the original ones be made private or forward the original to the new location?
Depends on what the new channel is about. Similar to my current channel, if the old channel discussed tech-related items (hypothetically), and the new channel did the same thing but under a new name and/or purpose; then I would forward the original social media links to the new location. However, i would only do that IF it was appropriate. If there is no link (in terms of the social media being related to the same topic or context [hard to explain but i hope it makes sense.]). If the social media link isn't related or talks about something that you deem innapropriate for your channel, then don't forward the links to the new location.
So basically. It depends on if it is appropriate and makes sense
@@ShayyanAli Thank you! The topics are basically the same so forwarding the URL does make sense. I just need to have it straight when I talk to the client. She may not care about any social media done on the 'to-be-moved-videos as may have been minimal. But we may have links on her site....ah the fun....
If I were to make a BRAND NEW account. With no vidoes, subscribers, views, etc. Would moving my current channel to the new channel be ideal? Since deleting an empty new account is better than deleting a new account with some videos, subs, views, etc already on it.
Will it destroy any of the old videos you have to your "new" account? After you've moved over the old videos to the new youtube, the videos in the new youtube won't disappear?
The videos on your old account will be transferred and all videos on your new account will basically be destroyed, or "replaced", by your other youtube account's stuff. Tbh, I wish youtube made it much easier for content creators to transfer videos from one account to another. But to answer your question, yes, if you asking if the new account's pre-existing videos will be destroyed, then the answer is yes.
Not what I was looking for, but definitely good information for future reference. Thank you!
I have 1 video on my old account I am trying to move to my recent account which has 20 videos.. I don’t want to lose all my contents views and progress. Will this delete all of my progress? Is there a way to move the 1 video along with the views and my subs to my recent account without losing anything?
Download and reupload
Does it change custom Url
i find that by not allowing to change custom URLs in the channel is a bad move by RUclips/google. at least they should let us hide it. even if we add handles the old link stays active.
You'll need to update this video as the way to get to advanced settings has changed a bit. I would appreciate it, if you know how, of a way to actually MOVE certain videos to a branded channel without downloading or copying video URLs to put into the video creator on the branded channel. I have about 80 videos I want to move to a branded channel and I really hope YT made it easier than what I've seen in videos so far (re-uploading or using the old video's URL to put it in the new channel's editor).
There used to be various methods, but all of them are extremely outdated with the new YT. And I tried to make sense of them but they were way to advance for me
@@ShayyanAli Like what?
@@EclecticianG Basically long ago the method I was looking at involved using account managers. And what it would do is that using brand accounts and stuff you would make the account a manager of the channel itself. After that you were able to move videos. But because of how yt is changing idk if the system changed, cause I had found a lot of difficulty in trying to make sense of the complicated method and trying to find ANY of the settings they were looking at. I can't even find the original video. If i do I will look at it again
@@ShayyanAli If you find the instructions, please let me know. Thanks for your vid!
Brother....Iam Not Cleared with this
This is correct or not
Basically if on your google account you have a youtube channel, and you want to move this whole channel to a brand account, then you can do so. Vice versa, all under the one account. But when I say 'move', I meant that Channel A (old channel), will replace Channel B (new channel). Meaning anything in Channel B will be replaced by virtually all the content in Channel A except for the name and channel art of Channel B. Channel B's content will cease to exist, and Channel A will disappear after everything has moved to the new channel. I hope I am clear with this
All I want is to transfer my subscriptions to a new account, I've got videos I don't want deleted and transferred. I saw there was a way to do it on the old youtube but why it isn't available anymore beats me
Yes it's not available again ...I tried to no avail
I am trying to figure out old solution too, but now I can't figure it out anymore with the new youtube system
Mines not doing this for some reason. Can anyone help pls. I get this message "Only Brand Accounts owned by this account will appear below."
Basically this only works with brand accounts under one account. A brand account is a second sub account you make when making mulitple channels under one Google account.
What are you trying to achieve?
So do the subscribers transfer to the new channel, brother?
They basically replace the other channel's
When you get to the bit that says delete channel can't I have two channels, keeping the old one for the person still living and using it?
Does the copyright strike on the old RUclips channel will be also transferred in new one? Thanks in advance
Tbh I am not sure, I am tryna find out but can't
I have my sisters channel 7 years ago joined and mine is only 2 yrs, now i want to transfer all my videos and stufs to my sisters channel and i will take her channel as mine but im still strugling on how to make it only on mobile, its difficult (pls help)
Ps: does the publish time on your video change when you move it? or it will stay
Publish times are the same, but all the videos and subs on her accounts will be deleted and replaced with yours. If you are having issues doing it on mobile, then use desktop, which I am guessing is not an option. So go to your chrome browser, open everything there. And then click the three dots in the top right corner and basically click the checkbox, 'View as Desktop', so it will display everything as if it were a desktop that was using or viewing the websites
@@ShayyanAli thank you, but she doesnt have any video does thats mean everyting is fine?
@@ShayyanAli hey just forgot to ask if i transfer the vids to my sister channel does her channel joined time also change? like from 7 years ago will go to 2 years ago?
@@klefromyoutube9953 If she doesn't have any videos her channel will be unaffected by the process. Since she has little to no content to lose.
Greta video. But I’m not sure I would be able to do this. I have more than 1 channel. It was an accident along time ago. So- can I move the videos from one channel to the other channel? Or would I be deleting everything to create a new channel? Thank you
Hi mate happy new year, IT didn't merge the subscribers, you had 9 and at the end we see 58 from the tech channel... Please explain
Basically because YT doesn't have an effective method. The best method I could think of was putting the two channels together. One replacing the other channel fully by deleting the channels old videos. And the channel that wasn't doing well got its videos reuploaded afterwards.
Essentially, Channel A gets replaced by Channel B and Channel A's videos are reuploaded
Can transfer my videos from channel A to channel B without deleting channel A?
You could just upload and reupload
And then any copyright strikes you can remove and dispute since they are all your videos
how much times can you do this for example if you merge an account can you do it again more then once?
I think you can
@@ShayyanAli ok
So after this process... If I need to sign in to RUclips with my new account... Do I need to sign with that new Gmail and password??? Or with the old one???
My guy, you are replacing the channel. Not the account
@@ShayyanAli 😅ok thanks man... That's what I wanted to know😅👌
My question is by transferring does one lose the viewership ? Does the old video start from 0 viewership ?
I'm just wondering if you move your account, will it move my search and watch history to the other account?
Thanks for this Shayyan 🙏 does it completely delete the old channel? Also is there a way though to just move a specific video from one channel to another while retaining the views, likes and comments? Thanks again.
Unfortunately it does delete the content of the channel you are moving your previous to. However when you move all your videos you also retain all of your likes, comments and views. You can always download the videos of your channel using sites like youtubepp.com, just be careful of the ads, otherwise you cna download and save all teh videos that will be deleted and simply re-upload them
@@ShayyanAli does your old account get deleted?
@@MuhammadAli-fj8qh yes, pretty much. Your old yt channel gets deleted
@@ShayyanAli which means all my liked videos, comments, subs, videos, playlists, downloads will be gone?!
@@MuhammadAli-fj8qh Everything regarding your channel will be deleted and instead be moved to the other channel. Meaning your videos, subscribers, likes, and playlists will all be moved to the other channel. HOWEVER, I am not sure about your downloads, and anything on the new channel will de deleted and replaced by the old channel's content
Thank you for your sharing, Ali.
there is a quick question that if the links to the videos would change after moved to channel B from Channel A?
Thank you.
No the links don't change UNLESS you reupload videos, then they do
I’m having an issue I transfer my account to another one and now I have 4 accounts idk what I did and the url has no subscription I neeed help ?
So, on your screen, it says move channel to your google account or to a different brand account. On my screen it just says move to a brand account. I'm trying to transfer everything to a different personal account, but I don't have the option to do that.
Have you consulted with the online community of youtube on their support page?
I like this guy, he actually gets to the point
if i merged a new channel with an older channel, will the join date stay the same or will it change?
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?
Unfortunately youtube and google has made this shit so hard for everyone. Plus you used to be able to merge channels easily, but with the new yt studio and google abandoning the whole google+ system, it's very hard and even I can't figure out how the older methods work anymore. Sorry man 😞
Ok what if I can’t access my other account on RUclips??
What next ??
So please I need help I try to Transfer but I lost my old channel and I lost all my videos 😞
and my channel is deleted in the end only this channel go to other email but nothing more I lost everything so please if you can help me i can open my old account again..?
This is why you need to back up your channel, try contacting google's support team
So if I moved my content over to say my back up account would it also move over say any strikes I have gotten ? That's what I'm wondering
I am wondering the same tbh. But I am guessing your strikes shouldn't transfer over.
This is also what I'm wondering. I really can't imagine that Google makes it this easy to erase your channel's past. It would be like a video game purposefully placing a hack into the menu.
by "remove current channel" do you mean like you wont be able to access it after words because it got deleted? or will it just remove the videos and you'll still be able to access it?
Basically it gets deleted yeah
@@ShayyanAli k thanks
Question if i got 2 strikes on my old channel but dont want to lose my vids i made and other things and move it over to my new channel, do the strikes carry over to the new channel as well?
maybe its a silly question but i want to be sure i dont do this method for nothing if im still gonna have the 2 strikes lol
You could try this method and see if you do or not. Because you won't lose your subscribers or video. It's literally your old channel replacing your new one
Do you combine your subscriber and viewer count doing this. for example you have 4k on one channel and 2 k on another. Do you have 6k then?
Nope, the 4k replaces the 2k
Do the people your subscribed also move to ?
I don't know actually
Bro I need a help... My channel is now upgraded to an official artist channel. So after I change all my contents to another channel, do I need to claim again my OAC channel to my new RUclips channel??? Or
Yeah you probably do, I am not 100% sure but based off of what I have read online you probably do
do you know if purchased tvs and movies are also moved to the new channel?
This isn't deleting a google account, but more brand channels I think
Brother I have merged my channel yesterday but still can not see my subscribers and videos on my new channel ..4K subscribers and 121 videos
How long take time?
Please tell us if it worked
This is very confusing
First, in your vid you mention moving from one channel to another channel, then in your description above you mention moving a channel to a different account. So which is it.
Second, You did not clarify if you have a personal account or business account. But it looks very much like you have a personal account.
The rules and policy seem to be different if it is personal to personal or personal to business, or business to business accounts.
You should be able to move it to a different account. There are small differences in the process though, read it here:
support.google.com/youtube/answer/3056283?hl=en
But your URL will not change and that’s what the Algorithm recognizes. So, if you wasn’t consistent on the old channel, the Algorithm will still recognize your new channel as that same inconsistent channel and it won’t push your channel
Does your watch later playlist also transfer aswell ?
Question, wich comments would remain? the ones that I made on other peoples videos or the ones my viewers have made on my videos?
The ones viewers have made on your videos from what I remember. But basically you have one channel replacing another channel. That's how this method works. So one channel will essentially be deleted
this process is so annoying because all it is doing is deleting a channel and the existing channel you wanted to move over to the new channel just stays there exactly as it is
I agree it's dumb but it's the most efficient thing I can find that doesn't use dangerous virus-ish software that risks losing your google account.
There used to be a better method that is now extinct due to the loss of google plus
But my new channel is in a completely new Google account and therefore i can't see that in the destination list. So what can i do?
Check the support page
In other words I want to know how I can clone the same information in two or more profiles/channels so that the profiles co-exist without me deleting any of those profiles. Is there such a way? Is there such an option? That's what I want to know. I don't want to delete any of my channels. I want to save all my channels, I just want to clone the information from CHANNEL A to other channels in order to save this information in case something happens to CHANNEL A, for example. That's my goal.
Can we move multiple channels to one channel? If i make a new channel and want to put videos from 3 different channels on it?
This only works if you have a channel, and what to replace it with another channel. It's a weird method but it's helpful.
So better to just download all of your videos and upload it to the one channel.
@@ShayyanAli Thanks
I have a channel that I had two types of information on. I'd like to take one type and move it to a new channel I've created, but I don't want to delete the rest of it. Is that possible
If I decided to move NEW account to OLD account, would comments on my OLD account be removed?
Everything from the old account would disapear and be replaced
@@ShayyanAli And, what about everything from the new account?
@@SunIsLost Everything from the New Account would replace the Old account. So make sure your old account has all of its videos backed up (Meaning you downloaded them and are planning to re-upload them to the channel after everything has been converted)
@@ShayyanAli Thanks.
Got an invalid click activity strike just thinking if I am going to merge it to a new one does it make any changes? No chance of getting reinstated as the appeal has this like automatic reply of denying 🤣
I hate RUclips's system of copyright in general. It created many issues for major channel like the FatRat. sorry to hear about your issue. Idk if the strikes also transfer
Brother i want to know that if i transfer all data to new RUclips channel then is the RUclips count time start from zero for monitization when I upload videos to my new channel ...?
Thanks so much for posting this, so just a quick clarification: I understand that the videos, comments, etc. from my OLD channel will be transferred onto my NEW channel. But does that mean that everything I've already posted on my NEW channel will be deleted and that there is no way for it to simply merge with the new channel? In other words, the old channel's content will override all of the content on my new channel and replace it? I already have a new channel with videos and everything, but I don't want those to be deleted by transferring my old channel to it...
Unfortunately, that's the case, RUclips doesn't really have an ideal option yet for this. However, if you have a low number of views and comments and you would like to back up and re-upload the videos after everything has moved, then that would also work, however, obviously that would mean you would lose the videos on your new channel. I did that for this new channel, where I downloaded all of my videos and content (including descriptions etc.). And to download all of this you can go to video manager and download each video you uploaded.
@@ShayyanAli Aw man, that's such a bummer :/ because my new channel is also doing pretty well and I def don't want to lose the engagement I've got on those. It's just this one damn video on my old channel that's exploding and it's painful to watch ppl subbing to that old channel :/ Alright, well thanks! I REALLY hope they change this at some point because it just seems like it should be an option already...
I am right now going to try and find out a fix for this, when I do I will upload a new video
@@ShayyanAli OMG YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!! I REALLY hope you are able to, I will cry with joooyyy if you do lol
Quick update that there seems to be a method that worked years ago where you have brand accounts working together transferring data nd stuff, but seeing how YT recently stopped using google plus and how YT changed a lot, it seems very unlikely that this would work. It is hard to understand how the method even works or if it works in the first place.
What happen if I move my channel A ( with youtube strike ) to channel B?
I want to know myself tbh
hello I wanted to transfer ONE video not a whole channel to my other channel.
Your best bet is to download and re-upload the video to the other channel, if you don't want copy right strikes and stuff, just delete it from the old channel after you are odne
can i join google accounts? i have created 20 google accounts out of enthusiasm and now i want to merge all my google accounts into one, how is it possible....?
You'll probably have to look that one up soz. Mergingin google accounts is way different to channels since channels can't technically be merged through one process and needs to be done manually as shown in the video
Hi Shayyan - thanks so much for your thoughtful and very helpful video...I've watched this multiple times and am still unclear on what the outcome actually is? If I have x number of videos I want to move that are in Channel A and I want to move them to Channel B, which also contains x number of videos, once I move and click delete are you telling us that all of the videos that currently reside on Channel B will be permanently deleted by this process? It's not simply adding the A & B channels together in combination? Is the end result of the process you have carefully outlined that Channel B still remains intact with all its videos but now has the additional videos from Channel A? What am I missing? Thank you!
Yeah unfortunately Channel B does get deleted. There are some methods online which might work (in terms of moving without deleting), but I haven't tested them yet. Due to the recent changes in YT, I don't think it will work
@@ShayyanAli Thanks you so much fr the courtesy of your reply @Shayyan Ali! i really appreciate your taking the time do respond and answer! All the best to you

At time mark 0:32, your drop down shows both of your accounts. I only see just the one with out signing out and logging in to the other. How do I get them both to show up o that drop down?

@shayyan ali Can you please reply on this query
They should
Is there a way to transfer just a few videos from an old channel to a new channel? I only want to move 12 videos over, while leaving dozens of others on the old channel.
The best or only way is to download and re-upload the videos.

Can it be possible to move some selected videos (not all) from old channel to new channel but the old channel still remain as I would like to keep it specially for just one niche?
Other than re uploading I can't think of anything else. You shouldn't get copyright strikes, since it is your own video, and even if yt tries to give you strikes, you can deny them from your original channel
Hi for me its saying no other accounts available! Wht to do?
This is because this process only works on one google account that has multiple brand accounts
@@ShayyanAli so is there any other method?
Does this also move search history and watch history?
On your phone go to your new account type in your user name find your channel and go to your playlist and hit the download next to the right of the 1st video pick look like an arrow down lit curve
Will it transfer all you videos ?
It will replace all of your videos, so the destination channel will have its videos overwritten
You’re awesome! Thank you so much for explaining this. You made this all very simple for those of us who are not well-versed with these procedures.
So if I do this with this account I will keep this account it will just have new email?
No, this is all under one google account. If you still don't understand read this to see if it helps. support.google.com/youtube/answer/3056283?hl=en
what's the point of moving a brand account if the other account will lose the videos in it? why not rename the brand account?
Beautiful sharing
I have an important query to make. I would highly appreciate if someone could guide me.
Objectives::
I have 2 youtube accounts on 2 different Gmail addresses. Both consist of a good number of subscribers. Now, I would like to merge both subscribers by merging both accounts in order to double the subscribers.
Procedure I followed:
I made my account A the brand youtube channel followed by an invitation to youtube account B.
Then I logged into account B and accepted the invitation.
Then within that account B, I accessed the “manage permission” and applied for “primary owner” from “owner”.
Which says to wait for 7 days.
Queries:
1) After getting the title of “primary owner after seven days would I be in a position to transfer either of the accounts with another one thus merging both accounts along with subscribers?
2) If the above answer is yes; then could you plz elaborate on the procedure of merging both the accounts including subscribers and videos after getting primary ownership.
3) In the entire process of transferring is there any chance to lose any one account’s subscribers?
4) How to avoid mishaps of losing subscribers?
thanks. Hope to hear from someone soon:)
I have the same situation just yesterday i have the permission to be the primary owner of my second channel. I still dont have the confidence to follow those steps as it is a bit confusing when you read the procedures.
how about the previous watch hours? could it be possible that i will also counted to the new youtube channel?
Everything including watch hours will be moved, just remember it will delete majority of your stuff in your new channel though. So please be mindful of that, I am trying to find a fix to figure out how people can work around it but at the moment we can only move one channel to another and the new channel's videos will be deleted and replaced with the old channel's videos
Shayyan Ali how about watch hour on new channel? It’s gone? So everything gone? How about subcriber on new channel.. its remain there or gone as well,, thanks
@@Quincy_art The watch hours will most likely be replaced by your previous watch hours and subscriber count replaced as well from memory
Bhai ki accent gajab hai
But for example if I add 0 stuff on my new channel would the old channel stuff be good if I'm transferring it to the new channel
One channels replaces the other channel completely
So this doesn’t combine videos, subscribers etc? It only replaces the account name, settings and gmail to the new account created in reality
Unfortunately yes
But I want to transfer some specific videos of my channel to my another one.And I don't want to delete my youtube channel. So what can I do for it.
Download and re upload, ther eused to bea better method
Hi, I do not want my subscriptions and history from old youtube moved to new one, will this work? I just want to move old videos from old to new you tube? thank you, ty
Just do it in reverse then
Get the new one you want to keep videos and subscribers for, download the old one's videos and transfer new to old
Thank you. very helpful. Can I move my videos from a channel who got some strikes to another channel?
I haven't tried it, but if it works, tell me
Will only the previous channel delete or the account too
Channel only, your RUclips account is unaffected by this
