Tutorial: How to add someone to your YouTube channel

So that I can get started without fuss and without explanation. And today I'll show you how to do that within a YouTube channel.

Adding someone to your YouTube channel in 9 steps

Step 1: Go to the YouTube website.

Step 2: Click login at the top right and log in with your Google account.

Step 3: Click on your channel icon at the top right, then click on "Settings.

Step 4: Make sure you are on "Account" in the settings menu on the left and click on "Add or Remove Administrators" (to the right of "Channel Administrators").

Step 5: Click the blue "Manage Permissions" button.

Step 6: Click on the icon with the plus sign in the upper right corner.

Step 7: Enter the e-mail address of the person you want to invite.

Step 8: Assign that person the appropriate role (owner, manager or communications administrator).

Step 9: The email address you entered in step 7 will receive an email invitation. In it, the blue button marked "Accept Invitation" should be clicked.

Et voilà. It's that easy to add an administrator to your YouTube account.
