To create a YouTube channel, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to YouTube using a Google account on a computer or mobile site.
2. Click your profile picture in the top right corner, then go to Settings.
3. Select "Create a new channel."
4. Choose a name, profile picture, and handle for your channel.
5. Click "Create channel."

You can create a personal channel or a Brand Account channel if you want a channel with multiple managers or a different name than your Google account. For Brand Accounts, go to your channel list and choose to create a new channel or use an existing Brand Account to connect to YouTube. After creation, you can customize your channel settings further. If you don’t have a Google account, you will need to create one before starting your YouTube channel. This process lets you have a public presence on YouTube, upload videos, comment, and create playlists.
