While this seems like a very easy task, in reality, the process of transferring your account to another user could be complicated and even impossible for some channel owners. Let’s dive in and figure out how to transfer the ownership of your YouTube account to someone else.
Personal vs Brand YouTube Account
The process of transferring your YouTube account to another entity differs depending on your account type. You can have personal or brand accounts on YouTube. The personal account is connected to your Google account directly, can only have one owner and automatically displays the name that you have in your Google account.
