How do I transfer admin rights on my YouTube account?

First, check if your channel is connected to a Brand Account. If it's not, you can change channel managers, but not owners. To transfer channel ownership, convert to a Brand Account by removing all roles in the permissions set up.

In addition to having one primary owner on the Brand Account, it’s recommended that you have at least one other owner associated with your Brand Account.

If you can't designate a new primary owner, verify that you’re opted out of channel permissions. Managers will not have the option to change the primary owner role.

1. On your computer, go to the Brand Accounts section of your Google Account.

2. Under "Your Brand Accounts," select the account you want to manage.

3. Click Manage permissions.

4. Find your name listed.

   • Tip: If you can’t find your name, you must be added as an owner by another channel owner. After accepting the invite and waiting 7 days, try again from step 1.

5. Next to your name, click the down arrow
