How To Verify A YouTube Account

Last updated on June 5th, 2024

THE GOAL

In this video I’m going to show you how to get verified on YouTube. Now YouTube actually has two kinds of verifications. The first kind is to verify your phone number so you can get some basic features on your channel, and this is really for brand new channels. The second kind is a badge you get on your YouTube channel after you pass 100,000 subscribers. This video is about the first kind of verification, for new channels.
