Create a YouTube Account on your PC in Just 2 Minutes

Creating a YouTube account is free. Once you have a functioning PC, it's quick and painless. To create a YouTube account on your PC, just submit a few bits of basic information and create a username and password. 

That's it you don’t need to add your street address or phone number, and YouTube doesn’t ask you for a credit card number.

To Begin this process, go to youtube.com and click on the sign-up link.

The Sign-Up link is at the top-right of the page. This link takes you to the Create Your YouTube Account page.

Enter your e-mail address and a password.

You must enter a valid e-mail address to register.

Fill in the Re-type of Password and Username fields.

It is very important to write down your username and password on paper and keep it safe in case you forget them.

In the Location drop-down list, select the country where you live.

Check out the rest of the list so you know where all those countries are located.

Enter your postal code.

This is required only for citizens of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

Click to select your gender and enter your date of birth.

Why your date of birth? Because YouTube is very specific in its terms of service it doesn’t consider itself to be a site that is appropriate for anybody under the age of 13, and it doesn’t allow anybody under that age to register an account.

Type the characters (letters and numbers) from the colored box into the Word Verification field.

YouTube wants to confirm that you’re an actual human being and not a computer program creating false registrations. 

If you can’t read the characters, click the New Image link next to the box to view a different image and color scheme. This is called CAPTCHA.

Check or uncheck the next box with the unwieldy name: Let others find my channel on YouTube if they have my email address.

This gives you some control over who sees your videos.

Check the Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy box after you read all the write-ups.

You don’t need a law degree to understand this “fine print.”

Click the Create My Account button.

If you leave any fields empty or if you choose a username that’s taken already, YouTube refreshes the page with red warning notes identifying the fields that need to be corrected before you can register.

Once the account is successfully created, you can now go ahead to post, view, like, and comment on YouTube videos.

Go to your YouTube account.

In the top right, click Sign in

Click Create Account

Choose For me or to manage my business.

That is it. You are good to go.
