Update as of 8pm pt on 2/13/25: We’ve reached a short term extension as we work toward a deal with Paramount to keep their content on YouTube TV. YouTube TV subscribers continue to have access to Paramount channels, including CBS, and any recordings that are in their Library. We appreciate your patience as we continue to negotiate on your behalf. We also value Paramount's partnership and willingness to work towards an agreement.

Channels migrated to Brand Accounts

Changes to accounts created before 2014

Channels created before 2014 didn’t have access to all features that are now available to new accounts. To make sure all channels have the same features, we’ve updated your channel by connecting it to a Brand Account. Your channel has the same name, videos, and subscribers as before but allows a separate identity. With the identity your personal name and email address are not visible to the public.

If you’re not sure what kind of account you have, you can check on YouTube.

What's changed:

Note: When you're using the Brand Account, you may also get an unusual email address in some places, such as channel-name-1234@pages.plusgoogle.com. This email isn't a real one, it's just an identifier for the Brand Account. You can have a Brand Account even though Google+ is no longer available.
Email notifications for the YouTube channel go to the notification address that you can set for the Brand Account.
