Verify your YouTube account To verify your channel, you’ll be asked to enter a phone number. We’ll send a verification code by text or voice call to that phone number. Once you've verified your account, you can: Upload videos longer than 15 minutes. Add custom thumbnails. Live stream. Appeal Content ID claims.
If you forgot your password or username, or you can’t get verification codes, follow these steps to recover your Google Account. That way, you can use services like Gmail, Photos, and Google Play.
To see if your account is verified, sign into your Google Account. If it hasn't been verified yet, you'll see a message asking you to verify your account. Fix problems with a verification link or email If you have problems with the verification link or email, follow the steps below.
The text or call verification charges depend on your phone plan, but it’s usually the same as a standard message or call. If you choose the call option, you can also use your home phone number. For more information, contact your service provider.
After you turn on 2-Step Verification, you need to complete a second step to verify it’s you if you choose to sign in with a password. To help protect your account, Google will ask you to complete a specific second step.
