Add or remove access to your YouTube channel

You can have multiple people manage your channel without giving them access to your Google Account. Inviting someone to manage your channel:

• Is safer than sharing your password.
• Lets you give only the amount of access they need.
• Is less confusing by making the user comment or view videos on YouTube with their own channel.

1. Go to studio.youtube.com.
2. On the left-hand side, click Settings.
3. Click Permissions.
4. Click Invite and enter the email address of the person you’d like to invite.
