Trevor, I already have a YouTube channel which I've used to assist my wife in putting up lessons for her AP Macro and Microeconomics courses. Will creating a new channel linked to my G+ profile create a problem (and is that something this means I can do)? I'd like to be able to use youtube to video blog on G+, but I don't want to clutter up her subscribers (because let's face it, it's my account but they're her subs) with my nattering.
Very happy this happened. However, when I go to create a new channel on YouTube (I have no channel currently, but I am signed in using my Google+ id) I do not get this screen. I believe I get the legacy "Enter a username" screen (and not even the one shown in this post, basically just a text box).
How do I get this then? I love this integration, but I'm not getting it :(
My YouTube account is already connected to my Google account (pre Google+). However my userid continues to be my original YouTube ID which is different from my Google account ID. Is there anyway I can convert my channel's ID to my Google account ID?
Never mind all this! I don't want another account. I already have my Google account linked to my Youtube account.
What I have been waiting years for is for you to allow me to simply change my obsolete Youtube account name from 2009 (that domain no longer exists) to my Google name - simples!
are you serious? are you serious? i had to "upgrade" my youtube account just to be able to like a video. let me tell you something, i never wanted a google+ account or to link any of my accounts to google+! with this changed i was practically forced to "connect" to google+, which is insane! i never complain for changes but this goes too far. it's a mistake. plus, now not even content creators can tell what people like and dislike because you removed the damn "like-dislike" buttons! please! please stick to one rating system for videos and stop merging everything with google in one way or another. btw, to even leave this comment i had to "make" a blogger account... really? no access to the average youtube audience. good for you people...
I'm not very happy with the idea of having my youtube completely linked. Aslong as I can still use the products how they benefit me the best then the changes look good.
In regards to the G+ button on vids though I don't want to only have one option choice. Many of the content creators that I view and support rely on a positive/negative feedback to be able to see if they need to adjust, change up content, ect. Implementing the new button I wouldn't use it as where it's a feels to much like a social sharing in a network that I don't use. I feel that the impact on content creators would be significant.
I have a Google Channel already but I really would LOVE to change it to my Google Profile instead. I'm sorry I ever picked my previous YouTube ID... but cannot find a way to change it. Sure would love to though.
Is it possible to convert an old YouTube account into a brand page that can be managed by our team? We're an indie record label, and often have 3-4 people who need to post videos to our main channel, or specific promos to artist channels, etc. It's a huge mess right now, because everything is tied to someone's personal account, and no one wants to give out their password, because that would be stupid. Don't you think?

Now let us have one identity in reverse, by letting us use only our YouTube name on G+ Profiles.
ReplyDeleteGreat! I have a YT channel already, would love to merge it even further with G+. Keep up the good work!

Whar about Brand Pages - can those be connected to a YouTube channel?
ReplyDeleteWhen will Google Plus stop banning people for having pseudonymns?

ReplyDeleteYou probably mean to use "+1" a video, not "Like" at this point... because... you're not Facebook. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat if I already have a YouTube account?

Removing the dislike button is a huge mistake, as is forcing people to "+1" to like

Another Facebook? No.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can link your existing YouTube account to Google+. I don't want to start from scratch.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little disappointed. I would have thought that long-time users may have the ability BEFORE any new user can get it.
It's almost describing how Google treats their loyal customers. I'm experiencing it over and over. :(
I want to integrate my existing YouTube with Google+ ~ when and how can I do that?
ReplyDeleteI would VERY much like to connect my existing YouTube account with my Google+ profile! Please add this soon.
ReplyDeleteHow do I turn this off? I don't want to see the videos of Google+ contacts in my front page of Youtube.

ReplyDeleteHow do we switch back?
