Creating a YouTube channel on your phone is a straightforward process, and it's great that you're interested in sharing content! However, since you're 14 years old, make sure to have a parent or guardian review what you're doing, as there are age restrictions and safety tips to consider. Here are the steps to create a YouTube channel on your phone:

Step 1: Download the YouTube App

  1. Open the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play Store (Android) on your phone.
  2. Search for "YouTube."

  2. Click on the profile icon in the top right corner.
  3. Tap on "Sign in."
  4. Use an existing Google account or create a new one. (If you're creating a new account, follow the prompts to set it up.)
    • If you’re creating an account, make sure to select the right birthdate since Google has policies regarding users under 18.

Step 5: Upload Your First Video

  1. Tap the "+" icon at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Select "Upload a video."
  3. Choose a video from your gallery or record a new one.
  4. Add a title, description, and tags. Make sure the video is appropriate for your intended audience.
  5. Select the privacy settings (Public, Unlisted, or Private).
  6. Tap "Upload."

Step 6: Follow Community Guidelines
