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.
How Brand Accounts work
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.
- Owners can take the most actions, and control who manages the account. An account must have one primary owner.
- Community managers can do the same things as Managers, but they can't use YouTube.
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.
