If you’re a YouTube creator, having an account may not be enough.
Let’s say you have a YouTube channel that posts fitness content.
Your subscribers have subscribed to your channel because of your fitness content.
If you start posting unrelated content like games, you might drive some of your subscribers away.
As a result, your viewership may drop and you may receive negative feedback from your non-fitness related videos.
To avoid this, you can create a second YouTube channel that caters to a different audience.
You can then mention in a community post or one of your videos that you created a second channel in the “x” segment (for example, the games segment).
In this tutorial you will learn how to create a second YouTube channel.
How to create a second YouTube channel
To create a second YouTube channel, you must first tap on your profile picture.
Then, tap the drop-down arrow next to your channel name and tap “Add account” to add a new YouTube channel.
After tapping on “Add account”, you will get to the Google login screen.
Your YouTube account is linked to your Google account.
Therefore, if you want to create a second channel, you need to create another Google account.
Once you’ve created another Google account, you can use it to sign in to YouTube.
The YouTube app allows you to switch between channels so you can switch back to your main channel at any time.
Here is a 3-step guide on how you can create a second YouTube channel:
- Tap your profile picture and the drop-down arrow
- Tap on “Add account” and create a new Google account
- Switch between accounts
1. Tap your profile picture and tap the drop-down arrow
Open YouTube > tap your profile picture on the top navigation bar.
To get started, open the YouTube mobile app.
You can also use YouTube on your desktop to do this, however, the steps are a bit different.
After you access YouTube, sign in to your account if you are not already logged in.
On the top navigation bar, you will see your profile picture.
Tap your profile picture to open the menu.
The menu is where you can find and manage your Google Account.
On the menu, tap the drop-down arrow next to your channel name, or tap “Switch accounts.”
After you tap your profile picture, a menu will open.
On the menu you will see many tabs including “Your Channel”, “YouTube Studio”, “Time Watched”, etc.
However, you don’t need to navigate to any of those tabs.
Just below the “Account” heading, you’ll see the name of your YouTube channel.
Next to your channel name, you’ll see a drop-down arrow.
Tap the drop-down arrow next to your channel name.
Alternatively, you can tap on “Switch Accounts”.
If you’re using YouTube on desktop, you can just click the “Switch accounts” option.
Move on to the next step to learn how to add a second YouTube account.
2. Click “Add account” and create a new Google account
Tap “Add account” to add a new account.
After you click on the drop-down arrow, the “Account” page will be opened.
On the “Account” page, you’ll see all the YouTube channels you’ve added previously.
If you haven’t added a new account before, you’ll only see your main account there.
YouTube allows you to add multiple accounts on the mobile app and desktop version.
To do so, tap “Add account” to add a new account.
This step is similar if you are using YouTube on desktop.
Create a new Google account by tapping “Create Account” and following the onscreen instructions.
After tapping on “Add account”, you will get to the Google login screen.
On the screen, you have two options.
You can either sign in to an existing Google account or create a new Google account.
If you already have a second Google account, you can sign in with that.
However, if you don’t have a second Google account, you need to create one to create a second YouTube channel.
Tap on “Create Account” to create a new Google account.
Then follow the on-screen instructions to create it.
You need to enter information like first name, last name, date of birth, etc.
Once you’ve created a new Google account, sign in to it.
3. Switch between accounts
You can easily switch between accounts on the “Accounts” page.
If you’ve successfully created a new Google account, it will be displayed on the “Accounts” page.
The account you are currently using will be marked with a tick icon.
You can switch between accounts on the site.
Just tap the account you want to use and you’ll be switched to it.
If you want to change your YouTube channel name or profile picture, you need to do this through your Google Account.
If you want to delete an existing account, tap “Manage accounts on this device”.
Then, tap “Remove from this device” to remove the device.

Can I create a second YouTube channel with the same email?
Yes, you can create a second YouTube channel with the same email:
- Go to youtube.com/account on desktop,
- Click “Add or manage your channel(s)“.
- Click “Create Channel”.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to create a new channel.
The channel will then be created as a brand account under your main account.
Can you have multiple YouTube channels?
Yes, you can have multiple YouTube channels.
You can add multiple channels and switch between them on both the mobile and desktop versions of YouTube.
On the YouTube mobile app, you can do so by tapping your profile picture > switch accounts > add account.
On the “Accounts” page, you’ll see a list of the accounts you’ve added.
Conclusion
Having a second YouTube channel is essential these days.
This is because the second YouTube channel acts as a hedge against bans and hackers.
If your main YouTube channel is banned or hacked, you can post content on your second channel.
If you haven’t created a second YouTube channel yet, it’s best to do so today.
