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
