Create Youtube Channel - Here's how

A YouTube channel is very easy to create. There are a few things you should keep in mind - we will show you how to set up a channel on the video platform.

Registration on YouTube: The most important step to your own channel

To create a YouTube channel, of course, you first need an account on the video platform:

• You can access the registration form on the YouTube website by clicking "Register". Here you can also log in directly with your Google account if you already have one.

Set up YouTube channel: what to do after creating it

Once you have created your YouTube account, you can now go to your channel:

• On the YouTube homepage, click "My Channel" in the top left corner. Alternatively, you can go to youtube.com/user.
• What you are seeing now is your newly created YouTube channel, which should still be pretty nude.
• Add a suitable photo by clicking on "Add channel image". The recommended size will be shown to you directly during the upload. With a click on the top right corner of your profile picture you can also change or add it.
• Click the gear next to "Subscribe" to set privacy settings and customize the channel layout.
• Select "Channel description and required provider information" to make others aware of your channel and attract new subscribers.
• In the lower area you can upload your first videos and create playlists. Depending on the settings, these are then public, only accessible to you or certain people.
• You can also add a "channel trailer" from your (later) video uploads to the channel, which will then be displayed as a large teaser video on your YouTube channel.
