YouTube is an excellent platform for sharing videos with the world, but sometimes, you may need to give someone else access to your YouTube channel. 

This could be for various reasons, such as if you have a team of people who help you manage your channel or if you need to give someone else permission to upload or edit videos on your behalf.  

You don’t have to share credentials to be able to share your YouTube account. You are now able to invite people and give levels of permission. 

Note: Please make sure that the account you invite has MFA enabled for security purposes. If you have invited someone that isn’t MFA enabled and they have manager access that spells trouble for your channel. So, keep in mind also what roles do you want to give to people you will invite.

Step 1. On the YouTube homepage, press your profile picture on the top right corner of the screen. Select YouTube Studio.
