How to link a channel to a brand account on YouTube?
Brand accounts are used so that more than one user can manage a YouTube channel. In this way, creating an individual login and password is not necessary to manage this type of account.
First, check whether the channel you want to connect is associated with a brand account.
To do this, go to the Google "My Account" link (https://myaccount.google.com/brandaccounts) and check whether the "Your brand accounts" option is displayed. Otherwise, you will need to create the brand account:
To create the brand account, log in to YouTube and go to the option to create a new channel. Add the required information and include the administrators responsible for the account.
Finally, return to the mLabs dashboard, enter the login details for the account and select the newly created channel for linking.
