You can change this later. Next, choose a password. It must be at least eight characters long and contain a mix of letters and numbers. Your password should not include your spouse&#8217;s name. Click on Next Step and continue to YouTube. To change your password, simply sign in to your YouTube account using your new password. You will need to click Continue to YouTube to save your changes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_YouTube_account\"><\/span>Create a YouTube account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you can start uploading videos to YouTube, you must first create an account. To do so, you&#8217;ll need to go to the Google sign-in page and provide the login details associated with your Gmail account. If you don&#8217;t have a Gmail account, you can create one here. To continue, you must click on the &#8220;Continue&#8221; button to accept the terms of service. You&#8217;ll have to confirm your email address and enter your password. Once you have confirmed your email address, you&#8217;ll be able to sign in to YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve set up your account, you need to enter your first and last name. You can change this later if you want. If you&#8217;re a business, you can also enter your telephone number if you wish. You must also select a password of at least eight characters, but make sure it&#8217;s not your spouse&#8217;s name. After you&#8217;ve completed the account creation process, you can click on the &#8220;Profile&#8221; icon on the top right corner of the page. After you&#8217;ve completed this, you&#8217;re ready to add an image and a color scheme to your profile.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sign_in_with_a_Google_ID\"><\/span>Sign in with a Google ID<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To sign in to your YouTube account with a Google Id, you need to first create one. You can use your existing Google ID or create a new one. Before signing in, it is advisable to use private browsing mode so as to avoid confusing Google. Next, you need to choose a password and enter it. Then, click on the link that says &#8220;Sign in with Google ID.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you have a Google ID, you can create a YouTube account just as you would a Gmail account. The main difference is that the former requires an email address while the latter requires a Google ID. However, the Google ID option isn&#8217;t available on Google mobile, so you can still access YouTube without signing up. However, if you&#8217;re already signed up with Gmail, you can also use the Google mobile app to create a non-Gmail Google account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sign_in_with_your_phone\"><\/span>Sign in with your phone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re having trouble signing in to your YouTube account with your phone, the first thing to try is to check your browser. If you&#8217;re using Google Chrome, check your browser&#8217;s help or About Google Chrome section. If you see the YouTube login screen, you&#8217;re probably using an outdated version. You can try clearing your browser&#8217;s cache and reinstalling the app. Try signing in again, and see if the problem persists.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you should check the security of your account. YouTube wants to confirm your identity, so it requires a picture or color scheme as well as your username. It&#8217;s important to remember the password you chose. If you don&#8217;t remember it, you can reset it by using your Google account. It&#8217;s also best to make sure you don&#8217;t leave your phone on Airplane Mode for too long.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Update_your_profile_icon\"><\/span>Update your profile icon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may have noticed that the profile icon on your YouTube account is blank. Or it might be the same as the profile picture that&#8217;s displayed on your Google account. Either way, you can easily update this by tapping the Edit link on the profile icon. Simply drag and drop your desired image into the provided box, or click the button manually. Once you&#8217;ve updated the profile picture on YouTube, you&#8217;ll notice that the icon now matches your Google profile picture.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the profile picture, make sure your logo is simple. Simplified logos are easier to recognize on smaller screens. Also, make sure your logo is recognizable in a headshot photo, which is a good way to enhance branding. Also, choose a brand color for the background behind the head. Lastly, make sure that your icon is in the correct format for YouTube. Make sure to choose a scalable icon that matches your branding.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g2pdd9bBEPY\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"356\" height=\"199\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Sign in to My YouTube Account?
