Of course, you are allowed to transfer your YouTube channel to another Gmail. In this post, we will mainly talk about how to move your YouTube channel to another account.

How to Transfer Your YouTube Account to Another Account?

You can move your YouTube channel including the videos, likes, and more in it over from the current account to another available account.

Google Account and Brand Account

Before moving your YouTube channel to another account, you can learn some information about these two types of YouTube accounts: Google Account and Brand Account.

Google Account

Google Account is the most commonly used YouTube account. If you are a personal user, you need to use a Google Account to sign in to YouTube. That is, as long as you have a Google Account, you can enable your YouTube to be associated with that account. Then, the name of your YouTube channel will automatically be the same as the one you are using for your Google Account.

Brand Account

Usually, a YouTube Brand Account is especially for your brand. It is different from the personal Google Account. If a YouTube channel is associated with a Brand Account, other people can also manage that channel using their own Google Account.

How to Move Your YouTube Channel to Another Account?

How do I move my YouTube account to another account? You can follow these steps:

1. Click your profile picture that is at the top-right corner of youtube.com.

2. Click Switch account.

3. Sign in to the account that is associated with the YouTube channel you want to move.

Note:
This step is very important. You must sign in to the YouTube account that contains the channel you want to move. For instance, if you want to move the YouTube channel from your Google Account to your Brand Account, you need to sign in to your Google Account in this step. Likewise, if you want to move the YouTube channel from your Brand Account to your Google Account, you need to sign in to your Brand Account in this step. This step can confirm that your YouTube channel was not unintentionally deleted during the move.

4. Go to Settings > Advanced settings.

5. Click Move channel to a brand account or Move channel to your Google Account or a different Brand Account. You need to select one according to what you see on the Advanced settings.

6. Enter your password for the YouTube account.

7. Select the account you want to move to from the list on the page. If the YouTube account you select has been associated with a YouTube channel, you need to click Delete channel in the pop-up box. This can delete the channel that is associated with the selected account. Any content in this channel like videos, comments, messages, playlists, and history will be permanently deleted.

8. You can check how the channel name will display and then you need to click Move channel. You should know that this step will delete any existing channel that has been associated with the account you have moved to. All videos on the channel will also be deleted.

Note:
These things will not be transferred: comments, messages, verification badges, and automated filter community settings. You will receive a warning if your YouTube channel contains this content. Besides, a custom URL can’t be transferred to your new channel.
