Here are some additional tips to help you get started on YouTube:
Use a strong password to protect your account. Choose a password that is at least eight characters long and includes a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using easily guessable passwords, such as your name, birthdate, or common words.
Keep your personal information private. Be cautious about sharing sensitive information, such as your full name, home address, phone number, and date of birth, on your profile or in videos or comments. You can adjust your privacy settings to control who can see your information.
Be mindful of your online behavior. Think before you upload or share anything online. Keep in mind that what you post on YouTube can be seen by a wide audience and can have long-term consequences. Avoid posting inappropriate or offensive content, and respect the privacy of others.
Keep your account secure. Enable two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security to your account. This will require you to enter a code sent to your email or mobile phone when you log in from a new device. You should also log out of your account when using a shared or public device.
