How to allow an agency to access your YouTube channel

You can have additional people, including an agency, manage your YouTube channel without giving them access to your own Google Account. Using this method to invite someone to manage your channel:

• Is much safer than giving them your password.

• Choose the amount of access they need (and revoke it if needed).

To give someone access:

1. Go to studio.youtube.com.

2. On the left-hand side of the screen, click Settings.

3. Select Permissions.

4. Now click Invite and enter the email address of the person or agency you'd like to invite. This has to be an email with a connection to a Google Account.

5. Click Access and choose what level of access that you'd like to give to this person:

Owner (the person who set up the channel)

As an owner, you can:

• Delete the channel

• Manage live streams and live chat

• Manage permissions

Owners cannot:

• Transfer ownership to other users (it is only the person who set up the account who can be the owner).

Manager

Managers have the ability to:

• View all channel data

• Manage permissions

• Edit channel details

• Manage live streams

• Create, upload, publish and delete content (includes drafts)

• Chat or moderate chat within Live Control Room

Managers cannot:

• Delete the channel

Editor

Anyone who is an Editor can:

• View all channel data

• Edit everything

• Upload and publish content

• Manage live streams

• Delete drafts

• Chat or moderate chat within Live Control Room

However they cannot:

• Delete channel or published content

• Manage permissions

• Enter into contracts
