What Are Featured Channels On YouTube?

Feature channels are channels that are being displayed on the side of a YouTube Channel. By using featured channels, you can expand your channel's reach and attract more subscribers to other channels you recommend.

In March 2013, YouTube took a step higher and introduced a new channel design for YouTubers and they called it "Channel one."

The design was invented as an opportunity for businesses on YouTube to brand themselves more effectively with content that's suitable for both traditional computers and mobile devices.

This is the part that applies to you: the design came with a "Featured channels" element that complements the overall package but guess what?

That's not even the only way you can take advantage of featured channels on YouTube.

Now, just to be clear, on YouTube, a "featured channel" is technically different from a "recommended channel."

While YouTube features a channel by recommending it to you, the difference lies in the fact that recommended channels are based on your already established YouTube viewing history and Google browsing behavior as recorded on your computer or mobile device.

Now, a featured channel on the other hand is a channel that has videos that YouTube thinks (based on the algorithm on the site) are worth watching.

In this case, this doesn't necessarily depend on your preferences or web-surfing patterns.

YouTube's algorithms are always working to select and feature channels on its site that will attract more views from more people.

If you want to attract YouTube's automated eyes to your own channel (which is a big deal) what should you do?

Simple, focus on creating quality videos according to the YouTube community's standards, guidelines, and recommendations which include, of course, creating quality video titles, tags, and descriptions for your videos.

If your channel gets featured on YouTube's featured channels section, you've hit it big time.

So, how do you feature channels on YouTube?

Let's find out!

How Do You Feature Other Channels On YouTube?

If you upload videos to your YouTube as a means of advertising your business, then getting featured channels is just as simple as enabling the feature on your channel.

You probably have saved those videos other YouTubers have uploaded and you would like to share them with your own audience.

All you need to do is select them and get them to appear on your channel's main page, usually in the upper right corner.

Just make sure that the videos you select reflect your brand's language and identity and they're meant to give your viewers a broader experience with your brand and business.

It's quite easy to feature other channels on YouTube.

There are no requirements for it, and you don't even need to have videos uploaded on your own channel.

The first thing you need to do is to go to YouTube, log in to your account, and then go to your channel page.

Simply do that by going to the top right to select your profile and the first option would be to select your channel and then you click that.

This will take you directly to your YouTube channel.

Now you go right to the options and Select "Customized channel" and do that.

This will load your channel page, but it's going to look different from what you are used to already.

You will have a panel that says "Feature Channels" or "Add Channels."

All you need to do is select "Add Channels."

At the top, you will find a bar that you can type in your customized title, add any emoji you want, but just make sure the title stands out and fits your brand.

The next thing you need to do is to start adding channels.

So you just enter the URL or the username of the channel you want to add to your Feature channels on your YouTube channel.

How do you do this?

Just go to the channel you want to feature, copy the URL in the address bar, then go back to your YouTube channel and paste the URL in there and just select "Add" and it gets added.

You then click "Done" and voila!

It's on your "featured channels" panelist on your YouTube channel.

What if you want to edit the channels on your "Featured Channels?"

Simple, just go to the "Featured Channels" panel and you'll see a pencil icon.

Hover over it and click it.

You will see options including "Edit" and then you click it.

It takes you back to the display of the featured channels where you can see an "X" on the featured videos just in case you want to remove them.

If you need to add more, you simply follow the steps you took before, as outlined above and you can have more channels on your Featured channels.

It doesn't end there.

You can also rearrange the order of the videos.

If you want to do this, simply click the little left panel that comes up on each video to move them wherever you want them.

Then you select "Done" and it reflects in your "Featured Channels" panel just the way you have rearranged them.

When you're done with everything you have to do on the feature channels panel, to exit, you simply go up and select "My channel" and it will take you back to your YouTube channel where everything is back to normal as you're used to and you can now see your "featured Channels" list on your YouTube channel.

In summary, just do this:

Make sure you are logged in click on "My channel."
On your homepage, click "Add Channels" under the 'Featured Channels' at the right-hand side of the screen.
Enter the URL or the channel username you want to add. Click "Done."
You can add a section near the bottom that includes channels, so just click "add a Section," "select content" and choose "custom grouping."
Go under "channel selection" and click "add channels", then create a title for this section and enter the channel username or URL that you want to add.
To change the order, simply click the up and down arrows on the upper right corner of the section.
You can also turn off sections (like uploads) by clicking the pencil icon on the upper right corner, then the trash icon; this cleans up your homepage and lets your audience see what you want them to watch.
