YouTube Content Management Tools

To access YouTube’s content management tools, you need to be a YouTube Partner. This means you need to meet YouTube’s requirements for monetization, which include:

  • Having at least 1,000 subscribers
  • Having at least 4,000 valid watch hours in the past 12 months
  • Adhering to YouTube’s monetization policies

Once you’re approved as a YouTube Partner, YouTube creates a Content Manager account for you. This account is separate from your individual YouTube account.

Here’s how to access your Content Manager:

  1. Sign in to YouTube.
  2. Click your profile picture.
  3. Select “Switch accounts.”
  4. You’ll see a list of the accounts you have access to. If you have access to a Content Manager, the account name will appear in the list with “Content Manager” below it.
  5. Click the Content Manager account. YouTube will switch to that account.

Alternatively, you can use the channel switcher to easily switch between your channels and your Content Manager.

Important Notes:

  • Content Manager is a web-based tool. You can’t access it through the YouTube mobile app.
  • Content Manager is only available to YouTube Partners. If you’re not a partner, you can only manage your channel through YouTube Studio.
  • Content Manager gives you more control over your channel’s content and rights. You can manage multiple channels, upload content, control monetization, set branding, and more.

If you’re not yet a YouTube Partner, focus on growing your channel and meeting the requirements. Once you’re approved, you’ll have access to all the powerful content management tools YouTube has to offer
