Adding a manager to your YouTube channel can be a wise decision, especially if you want to share the responsibilities and workload of managing your channel. In this article, I will guide you through the process of adding a manager to your YouTube channel, step by step.
Step 1: Sign in to Your YouTube Account
The first step is to sign in to your YouTube account. Go to the YouTube homepage and click on the “Sign In” button located at the top right corner of the page. Enter your email address and password to log in.
Step 2: Go to Creator Studio
Once you are signed in, click on your profile picture at the top right corner of the page. A drop-down menu will appear. From the menu, select “Creator Studio”.
Step 3: Navigate to the Channel Settings
In the Creator Studio, you will find a left-hand menu. Click on the “Settings” option, which is represented by a gear icon. From the expanded menu, select “Channel” to access your channel settings.
Step 4: Add a Manager
In the Channel Settings, click on the “Add or remove managers” link located under the “Permissions” section. You will be redirected to the “Manage Permissions” page.
Step 5: Invite a Manager
On the “Manage Permissions” page, click on the “Invite” button. A dialog box will appear, asking you to enter the email address of the person you want to add as a manager.
Step 6: Set Permissions
After entering the email address, you have the option to choose the level of permissions you want to grant to the manager. YouTube offers three types of permissions: “Manager”, “Editor”, and “Viewer”. Choose the permission level that suits your needs.
Step 7: Confirm and Send Invitation
Once you have set the permissions, click on the “Invite” button to send the invitation to the manager. An email will be sent to the manager with a link to accept the invitation.
Step 8: Manager Accepts Invitation
The manager will receive an email notification with the invitation to manage your YouTube channel. They need to click on the link provided in the email and sign in to their YouTube account (or create a new account) to accept the invitation. Once they accept, they will have access to the channel based on the permissions you set.
Step 9: Revoking Manager Access
If you want to revoke the manager’s access to your YouTube channel at any time, simply go back to the “Manage Permissions” page and click on the “X” button next to their email address. Confirm the removal and the manager will no longer have access to your channel.
Adding a manager to your YouTube channel can be incredibly beneficial, especially if you have a growing channel or need assistance with managing your content. By following these steps, you can easily add and manage managers for your YouTube channel and collaborate effectively.
