If you are not sure whether you already have a YouTube Brand Account go to www.youtube.com/account_advanced and check under “Account information”.By moving your YouTube channel to a YouTube Brand Account your existing videos, subscribers, views, and interactions, as well as your channel layout, will be transferred automatically. However, please note that some content cannot be moved. Your custom URL (only on some occasions), all comments made by the channel, sent and received messages, automated filter community settings, and verification badges will NOT be moved to your new channel.
