A channel is used to organize and share YouTube videos. Each YouTube member has a channel of their own by default. This is a personal channel, that cannot be managed with other users. If you want to co-manage a YouTube channel, called a brand account, you will need to set up a new channel. If you want to restrict access to your media collection, we strongly recommend creating a Kaltura Media Space Channel.

Add Channel Managers
Brand account channels can be co-managed. This means that multiple Google users can edit and administer the channel without sharing passwords. Only the channel owner can add managers.

- On the manage permissions pop up, click the + icon in the upper right.
- Begin typing the names or email addresses of managers in the form, and select from the list.
- Choose a role from the list. For more information about roles, see this Google Support article.
- Once invitations are set, invitees will need to accept before they can begin managing.
