Did you know that YouTubers now have an average of 2.7 million subscribers? That’s more than double the number from last year, which shows that many people are interested in new ways to share their lives with others. Making a YouTube channel is a great way to do so. Even though YouTube doesn’t offer a standalone app for its users anymore, there are still plenty of opportunities to make your own channel and upload videos. In this article, we will explain how to make a YouTube channel on iPad and what its pros and cons are. It may seem like an intimidating thing to do, but it’s not as hard as you think. There are numerous steps involved to create your own channel, but at the end of it, you’ll be able to upload videos easily afterward. Let’s begin!
How To Make A Youtube Channel On Ipad?
- First of all, you’ll need to create a Google account. To do that, go to https://accounts.google.com/SignUp and fill out the form with your name, email address, and password.
- On the next page, you’ll be automatically logged into your new account – but only until you choose a username for yourself. To do that, click on the “Choose username” box located at the bottom of the page and then type in whatever name you want in the box that appears next to it. You can use your real name if you want to – but if you are planning on making videos as a business, it might be better not to do so since viewers may not take your channel as seriously if they know who you are in real life.
- After choosing a username (and if you haven’t done so already), choose a password for yourself, as well, and then click on the “Create account” button located at the bottom of the page. You should now see a screen saying “Welcome to Google!”
- The next step is to add a payment method to your Google account. To do so, click on the “My Account” tab located at the top of the screen and then go to “Payments” in the left-hand menu. You will see a list of payment methods you can add to your account – choose one or more and follow the instructions given by Google.
- After adding a payment method, you should be able to see a new tab labeled “Purchases” at the top of your screen. Click on it and then choose “Buy music, movies & TV shows” from the drop-down menu that appears next to it. In order to make a YouTube channel on an iPad, you need to have access to Google Play Music since it is where you will upload all your videos later on.
- When you are taken to your channel page (which should be empty for now), click on “Create Channel” which should be located underneath the word “Homepage” in big letters at the top-right corner of your screen.
- You will now see a box labeled “Channel name required” which means that we need to come up with a channel name for ourselves before we can create one! Type in whatever name you want in that box, and then click on “Create channel”.
- You will now see a box labeled “Channel art required” which means that you need to upload an image that will represent your channel. This can be any picture you want – but it should be something that will attract viewers’ attention and make them want to follow your channel.
- Once you have uploaded the image, click on “Continue” which should be located underneath the box where you uploaded your picture in big letters at the top-right corner of your screen. You will now see a screen where you can choose a category for yourself and fill out a short description for your channel – but this is optional so feel free to skip it if you don’t want to take the time to do so at the moment.
- The next step is to link your YouTube channel with Google Play Music. To do so, click on the “Linked accounts” tab located at the top of your screen and then go to Google Play Music in the left-hand menu and log into it using your Google account credentials if prompted. If not, simply type in one of those credentials in the respective fields right away (you may have to create another account if you don’t already have one). If all goes well, you should see an icon labeled “Google Play Music linked!” next to an option labeled “Google Play Store” in the left-hand menu.
- The final step is to navigate back to the “Linked accounts” tab and click on Google Play Music once more (which should be located right next to YouTube in the left-hand menu). You will now see a window that asks you to authorize YouTube for access to your YouTube account – simply click on “Authorize” and you are done! Now you can start uploading videos.
