Establish A YouTube Channel.

With a Google Account, you can view videos, like them, and subscribe to channels. You do not, however, have a public presence on YouTube without a YouTube channel. To publish videos, leave comments, or create playlists on YouTube, you need to register a channel, even if you already have a Google Account.

On the YouTube website or the YouTube mobile site, you can create your channel.

Make Your Own YouTube Channel.

Use your Google Account to create a channel that only you can manage by following these steps.

On a computer or a mobile device, log in to YouTube.

Click "" next to your profile photo, followed by "Create a channel."

You will be required to establish a channel.

Verify the information (including your Google Account name and photo) and click the "Create Channel" button.

Make A Channel Using A Company Name Or Another Name.

Give your new channel a name by filling out the details. Next, select Create. Thus, a new Brand Account will be made.
