Do you want to have a second YouTube channel where your can put your business or home videos? Or do you want another channel for your second hobby, like a gaming or knitting channel?
In this video, I share with you how to create and add another channel to your YouTube account.
First of all, there is no limit to the number of channels you can have per account.
Second, they’re attached to a Google+ page – not a profile. This means that you can add other people to manage your comments, optimize your videos, check analytics and upload more videos, which is great for businesses. (Watch out for a future video about adding managers!)
How to add a second channel
- Click your avatar on the upper right hand corner and click the gear icon (YouTube Settings) next to ‘Creator Studio’
- Click ‘See all my channels or create a new channel’
- Click ‘Create a new channel’. Just give it a name, select a category and click ‘Done’. A list of your channels will pop up and you should see it there.
If you don’t see your new channel on the list, just select any of your channels, click ‘Ok’ and you’ll see your new channel.
To switch between channels, just click on your avatar and choose the channel you want to switch to.
If you want to create more channels, just repeat steps 1 to 3 above. Now go and add more channels to your YouTube account!
Thank you. You were a big help to me.
I adding another channel does that mean it is linked directly to my AdSense account and I will be getting paid for both channels through one AdSense
Not necessarily. You’ll need to enable monetization and tell it which adsense account to credit.
Thank you very much for all the help.
i have a youtube channel, and i want to start another with the same youtube account,
1. can people subscribe to my new channel?
2. will adsense pay me for my new channel on the same account?
3. are my old subscibers able to see my new channels content, or do they have to subscribe.
i dont see a subscribe button on the new channel, and that is why i ask. it also says “No subscribers” so it worries me to post a video if i cant have subs.

Thank you for the tip, it was very helpful
Thanks – great tip on how to do this on a smartphone.
Will adding a new channel to Youtube solve my problem. When accessing certain clips Youtube is requesting my credentials. I type in those of my Gmail account (correct ones), but the result is Failed(your log in was incorrect).
Any help please?
Hmmm… I’ve never seen that. You can try logging out of YouTube (click your avatar in the upper right, then “sign out.”) or try putting your browser into Incognito or Private mode to see if that works. Hope that helps!

That was a big help, thanks! The problem I’m having now though, is even though I’ve uploaded a channel picture, and it shows up on my new page, the icon in the upper right hand corner of the page is still blank. My other account has the same picture as its icon in both places.
