How to Add a Manager to a YouTube Channel

Quick summary

Adding a Manager to a YouTube channel is done through Google's Brand Account settings, not YouTube Studio directly. This process lets you invite new users via their Google email and assign them a Manager role with just a few clicks.

Steps

1. Go to myaccount.google.com and sign in to your Google account.
2. Navigate to myaccount.google.com/brandaccounts and select the Brand Account associated with your YouTube channel.
3. Click Manage permissions to open the permissions panel.
4. Click the Invite new users icon in the right corner of the panel.
5. Enter the Google email address of the person you're adding and set their role to Manager using the role dropdown.
6. Click INVITE — the user will receive an email invitation and gain access once they accept.
