Great information, my channel is up and running.........now how to I get the videos to show up arranged in the oldest to newest upload date when people visit my channel...........every search turns up solutions that do not work, including the latest from MS Pilot which says to go the the Studio, choose content, then click on the Sort button.........the button is there but it does not respond with any options as claimed! Playlist won't work, because you have to select that tab and most users never consider that, they see what comes up when the channel opens and that is where I need the videos displayed in the right order..............unfortunately I find nothing in your video that addresses this issue, and Playlist is not really an option for what I present on the channel.
Welcome to YouTube! In this video I'll be going through the entire setup process for a brand new YouTube channel, starting with creating a Google account and getting you to the point at which you can post your first video. If you've never setup a YouTube channel before, there's a number of important settings that you want to be aware of. Following all of the steps in this guide will make it so that when you post your first video a lot of the work is done for you already.

I keep hearing music in the background (it was on another one of the videos too). It's very distracting. It sounds like someone playing carnival or circus music. ?? Other than that I've been enjoying your videos and learning a lot. Thank you.

@HiddenDread-v1Madrid es una bella ciudad pero en Sevilla tienen a Concha y su familia. El costo de vida allí debe ser más económico que en Madrid. Pensamos ir a finales de este año y nos gustaría conocerlos en persona.
@nenesiabatto5512How do you add other channels below your main channel?
And are those channels linked to the same email address, or do they need to be created with different email addresses?
Kindly guide me. ❤
Im confused since Ive watched a few how to set up YouTube videos and when I made an account I dont see the same screens. I have a Samsung phone and iPad not a computer. I downloaded the YT Studio app and still do not see the same screens to make all the changes for my settings people are talking about. What am I missing?

@cdlartsykaleHey guys, ive read a few times now that an old email and even better an old channel is important to start... is it really that important? I mean I have a private channel but created this to start as soon as my setup arrives. I've verified with phone number and ID and I am using this for a few weeks now to "age" it.
@EconomicBreakdown2These dang greedy companys like to create an account you need to give all your info and the qr code is unskippable
@SigmamogginginohioThis video was very helpful. I hope my question makes sense. I have a personal email address and a google account. It is recommended I make a new google account with a new email address for this account when opening a new YouTube Chanel. Should my recovery email be my current email or new email address. Also for contact info available to public I should make a third email address? Thanks so much
@dawnhaines-shaw6999Can can you please help me I don’t have the channel button and I’m not sure why
@janedoe3900Some hear it and move on—some hear it and change their life. Anyone here 28/04/2026
@Panh_MusicI hope you cover some myths about creating a channel like you should use old email, use yt account daily(watch, like and comment other vids), warmup up to 14days, upload in phone and etc.
@kuroketsueki9059thank you for informations!! I finally created my channel to spread positivity!
@goodvibe193One thing worth adding to the setup process — before publishing that first video, spend serious time on the thumbnail and first 30 seconds of your hook, because those two things determine whether anyone actually clicks and stays more than almost anything else in your channel settings. A lot of beginners obsess over banner art and channel descriptions but then lose viewers in the opening moments. Did you find that optimizing the "About" section actually moved the needle for new channels, or is it more of a trust signal for people who already clicked through? 🤔
