Awesome video thank you! Just did this migration on my other channel and wanted to let you know I did not experience any loss of my original comments! I think UA-cam changed this policy because I followed your video step by step, and when it asks me to confirm replacing my Brand account with my original account, it no longer says "Your comments cannot be moved" in that list of "Some content cannot be transferred" Just thought you would like to know that!
thanks for this info. All i want to do is unlink my gmail account and my youtube account. I wanted to know if my unhinged comments would remain, or remain and switch to the new name.
@@randomworldxd9992 Yeah I guess I can't say for certain that UA-cam changed their policy. But I followed Karl's exact video instructions and did not lose any comments.
Leave it to UA-cam to make such a simple thing days worth of complicated. Thank goodness for people like yourself willing to show us these processes sir!
To anyone who is scared of trying it, I recently did this whole thing myself and I was scared of loosing my whole yt channel but when I followed each step I didn’t loose anything, there isn’t a way to lose your channel unless u completely delete it(I talked to a supervisor in yt-) But in case anyone was worried i tried it and it’s all good!!! (P.S thank u so much for the tutorial I would’ve been so lost)
@@_Worthless_. yes! You keep everything I promise u, I did not loose a sub or any liked videos, I wish I could show u but I promise you keep every thing
@@TheQuantumBandit nope, my join date stayed the same, the channel I moved over was made in 2021 and it still says that date if u want I can send u the link if u want to check!
I got to create my brand account but when I go to Add or Remove manager(s) the Users section has nothing in it just a link on how to manage access (which is useless). Any idea what's going on? Do I have to wait seven days to be able to see "Manage Permissions"? 1:19 shows the link I can't see.
Thanks man..... worked awesome..... Only issue I had was because I transferred to a recently recovered account (even after updating my details) it was sending confirmation to an old mobile number. It's mostly done though, all content, comments, likes etc have gone to the new account. Thanks for the informative video!!
Did you ever figure this out? I just want to use a different email (current one is shared), but can't find if I can while keeping subscriptions, watch history, and everything else
We're so new to this. Thank you. Still a bit confused as to switching over to a brand account and a new email address. Will we permanently lose our comments, content, etc or will they transfer over? If so, is there a way to just switch the email associated with the channel without losing everything?
I'm thinking about doing this. I really don't care about a business account and I want to know if my experience will be the same as using my current personal account.
This video was awesome and well done. Thank you. It gave me the info I needed to do this process. I would like to know what the channel looked and behaved like after the move.
So when I change my UA-cam channel email address can I delete the email account that I was using or will that also delete my UA-cam? Am I making sense? I’m trying to come up with a more professional email.
That was really helpful, much better than Google's instructions!! I was trying about two hours to figure it out, until I searched for such content,and came up to this video!
I did not upload any content of mine to my current *personal* channel, but I have created tons of playlists for my personal use from videos I saved from other UA-cam channels, plus I've subscribed to a lot of channels. Will those transfer over to the new brand channel I create?
FINALLY I can change my email address Thank you for this video very much. And THANK YOU for including the section on how to switch to a Brand Account Very helpful! Cheers :)
🙏Thank you for this video. I need to do it because I want to transfer all my playlists, subscriptions, subscribers, and videos from my old channel to the new channel. Is it worth it, or should I just keep both channels? My brother pays for my new channel, so I don't have to see all the publicity (which drives me nuts!), but now what gets me is not being able to see all my stuff. What do I do?
Was hoping to get clarification on one thing. I have an old account that I need to make a brand account in order to update the owner, and I may be misunderstanding but are you saying that you WILL lose all of your content when you make the switch? Or, are you saying that they delete from the old “account” but are still functionally transferred to the new account? I ask because I can’t afford to lose any of the videos I’ve posted because they aren’t backed up anywhere else. So am I going to lose all my videos if I make the old account into a brand account/ transfer to a newly created brand account?
Hi, im a pretty standard sized creator, I’ve always been using a different email for my channel cuz ive abandoned an old one that was using my main email but want to transfer my main email to this channel but never knew how since then.. First of all it says that it will not “move the comments” as in ALL of the comments that were made on all across my youtube channel? And then it says it will delete the “gift settings” as in my OWN channel membership will be deleted just like that?? Is there really no other options???
Yes all your comment will get deleted. Idk about the rest but you can just give your self Admin on your main gmail. (Ik this sucks but i have the same problem as you)
Hey Karl. Thanks for this tutorial. I made the massive mistake of creating a channel on my personal account. So if I was to create a ‘Brand Account’, am I right in thinking I’d loose ALL my views on the videos I’d have uploaded and ALL subscribers. Basically starting me from zero once again? What are the benefits of a Brand Channel? Is it worth the change? I ask as I have been monetised once before on my current channel and with 3.6k subscribers and a relaunch coming in the New Year, I need to make a decision if this is the right thing to do or risk taking longer to earn money via add revenue once again. Thanks in advance. Your opinion would be incredibly useful
I'm confused. i have no brand account. but if i follow your steps, i will lose all of my progress and video's, just because i want a new e-mail linked to my youtube account?
Hello, once all of it is done, Does it means that the whole channel, with playlists, subscriptions and view history will be listed under the other owner account? There will no longer be any channel under your own account, is that correct ?
any data will deleted if transfer the primary owner mail to the another mail for change the youtube channel and what about the mails receiving to the primary mail that will also change. Please reply..
I did all of this and I have two separate emails with its own version of my channel that are identical plus each has another account listed too. But when I do the delete process it says about the branded account so I’m not sure which will be affected.
I did something wrong and now my whole searching history is gone, all videos that I have watched in 3 years. Is there any way I can get them back or at least a part of them?
Your information is very helpful Karl. When I click Add or Remove Manager(s) no blue Manage permissions box shows up. Yes, I do have a Brand account. Any clue what I can do to get this box to appear so I can change me default email address for my UA-cam channel?
check the top right that you are still in the correct youtube account sometimes google switches these accounts when you reload the page, if this doesn't work let me know
So after completing step 4 it says the new email is "Invited, Manager". The email Google sent says I'm already a manager so is this the wait 7 day period, awesome guide by the way, super easy to follow.
any data will be deleted if transfer the primary owner mail to the another mail for change mail the youtube channel.. and if we change the primary mails receiving will also change to new mail..??.. please reply
Do you need to have your permissions managed in youtube studio? I have mine managed under brand account and don't get the option to change the role after 7 days???
Just asking as my google account for my original account has been deleted due to verification of age problems, I made this account and gave ownership of my original account to this. If I make myself a primary owner of this account in 3 days when the 7 day trial is up can i access that account on this google account instead and access all data on this account?????
I followed through with your process and switched my channel ownership to the google email address I wanted to use. Everything looked good. I then removed the old Google Email from a owner role - I actually removed the owner completely. But, my profile information for my brand account is still tied to the old Google Email Address information and it confuses people. How can I change that. Wished I would attach a picture to make it clear. If I am on the Brand Account Details Page and click on View Account Profile the email listed is the old owneer which I am trying to transition away from and eventually cancel that Google Account completely because it causes confusion.
where it says “your comments cannot be moved “ on the channel after move part does that mean the second channel comments that you created or will my actual youtube channel now not have any comments on my videos?
My content didn’t transfer to my new ‘branded’ channel…😢 what did I do wrong? I literally watched, replayed over and over, to ensure that I did it correctly. I then assigned the new email address, still nothing. 10 minute transfer didn’t work for me
I just did this and it just added the new channel to the same email address as the one I wanted to change...I wanted to change the email address on the channel so I could give it to someone
Do you know how to do it if the channels is created on a childs account/email? Somehow I don't have and can't get the same options as you describe here
Hey, I was hacked and the person changed my UA-cam account to a brand account so he could steal it and in the end he gave it back and I don’t know why but I have it back and now it’s a branded account and I want to change the email and I just did that thanks to your help but I have to wait for 7 days but I would like to put it back to normal? Is that possible?
Just for clarification. I just want to change my email address. If I do so. Will all my subscribers,videos, and contents be deleted? Or is it just the email and all of the content will be as is. Please reply
holy sh*t this is a lifesaver been planning to change my channel to another gmail due to upcoming background checks and i am too scared that they might find my "stupid" channel when i get a job in a few days. jeez i was scared and already felt dreed thinking i would have to erase it all but thanks to this vid, my confidence got boosted a ton!! edit: great, google won't like to accept my only phone number, it says it was verified too much, even tho i only used it for one google account, is there a way to fix this? please im in a hurry :(
I got suspended on google ads. Now I want to unlink the email and add another email as owner. Will this solve the google ads suspension problem? Please help
Is there any reason other than changing email addresses to change to a brand account? If I loose all my engagement in the process wouldn’t that be a reason not to do it?
Another reason to have the brand account is if you have a team that manage your channel so you can give them access to the channel. Losing the comments is a choice you need to make

Changing channel will not remove videos?? I am scared to transfer my channel to brand channel that it might delete all the content I put too much effort into.. 😢
