How to customize YouTube

5 easy steps to Customize your YouTube channel 5 steps in 5 mins

1. Log into your YouTube account. Click the yellow "Edit Channel" button.
2. Set up your channel information - website URL, profile picture (88x88) and description.
3. Within Channel Design scroll down to Advanced Design Customization. Set background, link and border colors. If #ffffff means nothing to you, click on the blue pick link to choose your colors. You can hide features like the video log by unchecking the box.
4. Now the fun part - just under the Advanced Design Customization heading, YouTube allows you to BROWSE to your background image. Just save out one of the free YouTube backgrounds below into a folder on your system, then click browse and locate the file.
5. Click update channel.
6. You can see my old background here (Plain vanilla gray - get it below). I made my file 2000 pixels wide by 2000 pixels tall. My background is not set to repeat. This is how my latest background looks on my YouTube channel. Download it below - Halloween.
