How to create A YouTube channel with Mobile-2022:

Introduction:

- This is all you need to get started on youtube. I'll clear you exactly how to create a youtube channel with your phone step by step, as well as the key optimization settings. Youtube has become the second most popular search engine in the world. So it's no wonder that more and more people wanna get on the platform and learn how to make a youtube channel of their own.

So with just your iPhone or your Android smartphone and the right process, you can quickly set yourself up and your new channel is up for success ready to maximize your views, subscribers and traffic on youtube. So, I'm gonna step you through how to start a new youtube channel on your phone along with the key settings that you need to maximize your results I'll also share some of the top tips that we've learned to optimize your channel and your content so that youtube wants to promote it.

Method:

So For Example I'm using an android device. But don't worry if you're on an iPhone, the process is going to be the same. All right, so over on the phone now. If you wanna open up your web browser, whether it's chrome or safari, and you wanna head to youtube.com. And you'll likely be directed to the mobile version of the website m.youtube.com. Now, you will have to do this in the browser on your device and not using the YouTube app or the YouTube Creator App, because they're missing a lot of the key channel setup features if you're doing it from within the app.

Google Account:

So to be able to set up your channel properly and have access to all the features, you wanna do it through your web browser. So head over to youtube.com. As you can see in the top right-hand corner, a little profile pic there. It's just a grey icon, which means that we're not signed into a google account. So if we press on that, then we have the option to sign in. So to have a youtube channel, you will also need to have a Google account. So if you already have a google account or a Gmail account, then you can log into that here. If you don't have one of those set up yet, then you can come down here to create an account, and you can create a google account first.

Now that you've signed in or you've gone through and created an account and signed in, up in the top right-hand corner we'll press our account id and we have the options here now to create a channel. And if we select that, then it's gonna give us the option to create a personal youtube channel.

Types:

Now there are actually two different types of youtube channels, a personal channel or a brand or a business youtube channel. And the main difference between them is that a personal channel can only be called your name, whereas a brand or a business account can be called whatever you'd like. So if you wanna have some flexibility around what you're calling your channel, then a business account could be the option for you.

But also, the other big advantage of a business or a brand account is that you can actually assign managers for your channel. So you don't need to hand out your username and password for your google account, you can actually grant access to your channel to other people, and they can then help you out with things like managing your comments or uploading your videos. So if you're serious about growing this long term, and potentially bringing in a team or people to help you out with it, then a business or a brand account is probably the way to go.

Switch:

Now do note, you can switch from a personal to a brand and back if you need to. So it's not the end of the world if you decide to change later. On the screen, we only have the option to create a personal channel from our phone. But there is a little workaround that will let us create a business or a brand account. So what we need to do though, is open up the desktop view or the desktop version of this web page. And so on android or in chrome, you just wanna come up to the three little dots in the top corner and select a desktop site. And if you're on iPhone and you're using safari, then you just need to tap on the two in the top left-hand corner and select request to desktop site.

So from here, we're actually looking at youtube as if we're on a desktop computer. So now if we go back to our id account in the top right-hand corner, or our profile avatar picture, there that we've got the option again to create a channel. And if we select that, now we have a different pop-up. So your creator a journey begins. Get started, let's press on that. And now we have the choice to create a channel using your name, or a personal account, or you can use a custom name, which is a business or a brand account. So we're gonna go ahead and select a custom name.

And here we can name our new youtube channel whatever we would like. Now, if you're struggling with what to call your youtube channel, don't worry, you can change it later. We'll tick the little box there and hit create. Okay, so then it says nice work! Your channel has been created. So it's not ideal to be doing it this way on desktop view. But this is the only way that we can create a brand account and get access to a lot of these channel settings that you would normally only have access to on a desktop.

Profile Picture:

Okay, so next up, it's asking us to upload a profile picture. So we will select on that, go ahead and select a picture up, done. So I suggest you either use a picture of your face or maybe your company logo or something that's going to be related to your channel. And again, this is something that you can easily come back and change at a later date as well. So once you've got that up there, the next one here is to add a little description about your channel.

Description:

So a few sentences or as they say 1000 characters about your channel, and maybe the types of content that you're going to be releasing on there. Once you've got that in, you can then add some links to your website, or to your social profiles as well like, Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook, Tiktok Instagram. Now we gonna save and continue. Okay, so our youtube channel is now set up.

Customization:

So what I suggest you do now is come up to customise the channel and this is where you can add things like your channel art at the top (banner). So if we select add channel art, you can upload a photo or an image there to use or go to the gallery and use one of the images. And let's hit select. We've now got that image applied at the top. Now if we go across to the about tab, if you didn't add a channel description or text about your channel earlier then you can do that here as well just by pressing here. If you wanna add an email address for business inquiries, then you can do that down here and hit done. You can set a location for the channel.

Youtube Studio:

Now back again and let's go up to this little profile picture, in the top corner. And let's open up the youtube studio. Okay, so this is your youtube studio dashboard. So as you start uploading videos and things, you can see you've got some analytics that will show up here, there are some news and updates and things from youtube here, and it will show information up in the top left corner about your most recent uploads. Let's just go to the little settings button right down the bottom in the bottom left-hand corner, and let's go to the channel.

Keyword Tags:

Now here you can add things like keywords about your channel, like video editing, filming on iPhone, filming on android, and growing on youtube. So any sort of keywords or key phrases that you'd like your channel to be associated with.

Kids Content:

Let's go to advanced settings. Now here, you will specify whether the content that you are creating and uploading on your channel is going to be made for kids specifically. So you can choose, yes, this channel is made for kids. No, this channel is not made for kids. Or do I want to review this setting for each and every video? So go ahead and press no, for this one.

Subscriber Counted:

Down you get to specify whether your subscriber counted, your number of subscribers is displayed publicly or not. 

Branding:

And next, we'll come up with a branding option. Now, this is where you can add a little image or a little watermark, a logo on top of your youtube videos, or a clickable button to take people to subscribe to your youtube channel. Or a little graphic that you use on our channel, which essentially looks like the youtube logo with the word subscribe under it, select choose an image and upload and again, choose your profile picture and just have that included down the bottom, and then you can swap it out for maybe something that says subscribe or is your channel logo a little later on. But once you've got that added in there, you actually get to choose when it's going to be displayed in your videos just at the end of the video throughout the entire video, or you can even specify a custom start time. So let's just go at around 30 seconds just so it'll appear after maybe some of the ads.

Save Default Settings:

Now you wanna go ahead and press save here to save those settings. And let's go back to that little settings button. And let's go over to upload defaults. Now here, you can specify default settings or default text that's going to show up and appear for each one of your videos. This is gonna save you a heap of time when you're uploading your videos. So for example, I'll be setting the visibility from public to private so that any video we're uploading is automatically gonna be locked down as private so that we can configure it, and add our titles and tags and everything to it before it just automatically goes out as public. Likewise, if you've got any tags that are gonna be relevant to every one of your videos, then you can add them here as well. We use a comma to separate them out.

Feature Eligibility:

So you can add any tags here that you're going to use for each one of your videos or for most of them. And then when you're done with those, again, just make sure that you are pressing save. Now, back down under those settings, and go over to feature eligibility. Now here is where we can unlock some of the restrictions around our channel, just by verifying our channel, to show youtube that it is a legitimate account. So you can see by default, we have access to be able to upload videos, create playlists and add collaborators and new videos to playlists.

Verification:

But it's restricted for us right now because we haven't verified our account, is this area down the bottom here. So to unlock, having videos over 15 minutes and unlock custom thumbnails, live streaming, and the ability to appeal any copyright claims, then you will need to verify your account. So if we press the little down arrow and select verify phone number, it's gonna take us off to another website here, which is youtube.com/verify to verify our account. So select my country and then we get to choose whether youtube is gonna call us with an automated voice message, or if they're just gonna text us the verification code. Add the verification code, enter the phone number and sent it through. Once that's done, you'll get a little notification saying that your youtube account is now verified, which means that you've now unlocked those extra features.

Upload Video from Mobile App:

Now, just to verify that that's all gone through, okay, you can head over to youtube.com/features, and that would bring up a page here. And that will show you here, all the features that you have access to. So now we have enabled longer videos and custom thumbnails are enabled as well. So now that your channel is all set up you actually don't need to keep using this desktop view in your browser. So we can switch that back to the mobile view. We'll just de-select a desktop. So to upload videos and manage your youtube channel, I would actually recommend that you know that your channel is all set up, and use the youtube app. So here, if you wanna upload a video, you can just press the little camera icon at the top, and we can record a video. We can select a video from our camera roll here to upload it, or we can choose to go live right on the screen there.

YouTube Studio App:

Now, in terms of managing your channel from your mobile device, you then need the YouTube Studio App, which will give you access to your analytics, your videos, and even your youtube comments and all of those sorts of things directly inside this app.
