Manage your Brand Account

You can set up and manage an account specifically for your brand. You can use certain services with it, like YouTube, to create an online presence. 

Note: If you have a Google Account through a primary or secondary school, you can't use it to create a Brand Account.

How Brand Accounts work

How Brand Accounts differ from regular Google Accounts

You and others can jointly manage a Brand Account through your own Google Accounts. You won’t need a separate username or password. Your account can have multiple owners and managers.

Google services that support Brand Accounts

You can use certain services with your account, like Google Photos or YouTube. You'll be able to communicate, connect, and share info with customers and fans with your Brand Account.

To manage who can see and interact with your content, you can adjust your settings for each service.
