How to Customize Your YouTube Channel
YouTube Tips




Learn All About YouTubeThe channel is the page which is viewable by the public and contains
Your profile information, videos, favorites, etc. To view and edit your own channel, first sign into
your account and click your username (which is displayed at the top-right of any page).

Once You`re into your channel page, look below the search bar, and you’ll see a grey Edit
Channel section where you can make changes and edits to your channel. Click the Settings,
Themes and Colors or Modules button to edit those aspects of your channel.




When you click on one of the buttons, the window will expand and you’ll be able to make
changes to your channel from there.

On your channel page, look below the search bar. You’ll see a grey Edit Channel section. Click
on this section to start editing your channel.

To start edit your channel’s settings, click the Settings button. You’ll then be able to view and
edit the information associated with your channel:

       Your channel’s title and Channel type
       Tags (let You help other users find your channel in search)

       Do not forget to click the Save Changes button (in the lower right hand corner of the
       window) to save and apply all the updates you just made.

       Themes and Colors

To start edit your channel background and color theme, click the Themes and Colors button.
The window will expand and you’ll see certain color theme options. You can select one of these
themes for your channel, or create your own theme.




                                                                                              1/4
By clicking on one of the color themes, the background of your channel will change to show you
a preview of how your channel will look if you select that them.
If you like that theme, and want to have it displayed on your channel, click the Save Changes
button to update your channel.
If you don’t like the theme you’re seeing in preview, simply click on the cancel button, or click
on another theme to change the channel background.

        Customizing your channel background and theme:

If You want to customize your channel background and theme, just Click “show advanced
options” (located below the standard color themes).
The window will expand and show you a variety of ways to create your own background theme.
Customize it by selecting different colors for the various aspects of your channel.

Click the browse button, and find an image from your computer that you’d like to use as your
channel’s background. Select the image.
The image will appear centered on your channel page. You’ll be able to see a preview of this.
If you’d like to repeat the image across your channel’s background, click and select the Repeat
Background box.
Click the Save Changes button to update your channel with these changes.

Tip -

Adjusting background image file size: One annoying thing about YouTube background
images is that they’re constrained to 256 KB, which means if you have a high resolution image,
you’re out of luck unless you’re able to compress the file size with a photo editor. If all of this
sounds foreign, not to worry.

An easy way to downsize your image is to use an online photo editor like Picnik. Simply upload
or access your online images from Flickr or Facebook, and click the “Save and Share” tab.
You’ll notice that you can select from a few different photo formats (try JPG), and then use the
sliding bar to compress the image file size below 256 KB. Click to save your photo, and now all
you need to do is upload it to YouTube (Edit Channel -> Themes and Colors -> show advanced
options).

        How to Create YouTube Backgrounds?




                                                                                              2/4
If you are the creative type, you can build a custom background for your YouTube channel in
few easy steps.

- Maximize the browser screen and press Ctrl-0 to remove zoom, if any. Then hit F11 to hide all
the menu bars and the scrollbars.

- Press Print-Screen to take a screen capture of the maximized YouTube channel page and
then paste this image from the clipboard into Photoshop or GIMP or Paint.NET or any other
image editing program.

-That becomes your starting template. You know where the different elements of the page will
appear so you can tweak the design accordingly.

       Want to Download ready YouTube Themes?


They are some really good sites where you can download YouTube themes for free. Some
themes may use custom font names and color schemes so you’ll have to key-in those RGB
values manually.

1. MyTubeDesign.com – The site has an excellent collection of YouTube templates neatly
arranged in categories and you can download most of these templates for free. If you are a
YouTube partner, MyTubeDesign has channel designs for you as well.

2. YTLayouts.net – This is another useful site with a good collection of YouTube layouts. Unlike
MyTubeDesign, all designs on the YTLayouts website are free for download. The site also has a
collection of Photoshop tutorials in case you want to do them on your own.

3. BackgroundTube.com – They do have some good templates for your YouTube channel but
make sure you avoid the ones that require you to fill some sort of surveys before showing the
download links.

       Having trouble adding a new theme to your channel?

If you’re having trouble adding a new theme to your channel, it could be because you’ve
reached the maximum number of customized themes. You can only save 10 themes for your
channel at a given time. In order to create a new custom theme for your channel, please delete
some of your themes. Once you’ve deleted a few themes, you’ll be able to create a new
custom theme for your channel again.

       Modules

In order to edit the modules/boxes which are displayed on your channel, click the Modules
button. The window will then expand to display various options.

Select the modules that you’d like to display on your channel. The modules include:




                                                                                            3/4
Comments
                                   Friends
                                   Subscribers
                                   Subscriptions
                                   Recent Activity

                                   If you’d like to show one of these modules on your channel, click and select that option. Then
                                   click the Save Changes button to update your channel.

                                   If you do not want to show one of these modules on your channel page, click and unselect the
                                   box next to that module option (so that the box is blank).
                                   Then click the Save Changes button to update your channel and hide that module.

                                             Move your channel modules:

                                   In order to change the order in which your modules appear on your channel:

                                   Locate the module on your channel page.
                                   In the right hand corner of the module you’ll see several white circular buttons with arrows on
                                   them.
                                   Click on the buttons to move the module in question up, down, or across the channel page.

                                             Highlight videos and playlists

                                   You can choose to display and highlight videos on your channel. You can choose to display:

                                        2.   Just Uploads
                                        3.   Just Playlists
                                        4.   Just Favorites

                                   To customize which videos you display on your channel, click on one of the four options
                                   (located to the right of the yellow Subscribe button at the top of the channel page). Your channel
                                   will automatically update to reflect your selection.©2012 YouTubeTips.org
