Who wants to exceed the typical usage and the area of Youtube (or just watch video) and want to post videos on the internet, of course, must create an account for free. If the registration is really something a very simple (just go on homepage of the site and click on "register" or "sign-up "), are not always aware that you can create various types of channels.
YouTube offers many types of accounts to provide some customization field depending on what your main goal create your own account.
First,
it should be noted that all types business account you can still be used do on YouTube, like uploading videos, comments, shares, etc ...The difference between one and the other mainly concern customization you can apply channel and the presence or absence of some "Feature".
You can switch from one type to the "channel the other at any time, even after making your account, simply by choosing from account and then change the channel:
page where you get just select shown the menu ... then you can follow instructions without problems.
Let's see, whether a different account available to publishers.
Normal account: YouTuberThis account is 'normal', the default, if you have special needs enough.
As mentioned, the basic account allows you to do what The main operations that YouTube has become famous, or to upload a video, add descriptions to them, sharing, assess, report and leave comments for other films.
It is also possible to add photos shows the channel and even a link to your site Our simple (or other URL): just go into account and then setting the profile.
One aspect that is sometimes cause confusion in the video publisher (And I want to explain) is the length video (and part of the maximum file size to upload).
In the past, YouTube has adopted different strategy, which enables people who register with the Director (But sometimes with other accounts standard one) to upload video duration exceeding 10 minutes: in fact even now, if you try to make Advanced search by selecting for film showing just over 20 minutes, you will realize that there are many videos lasting more than 1h.
If you register now (as director), this is not possible: all types current account subject to the limit of 10 minutes duration and the file size is 1 gig (apart from Partner Program account, and after that we will view is not open to all).
But if you have a teacher or other types account director, made in a
time when YouTube makes it possible to exceed 10 minutes, continue to have this opportunity.
When we read directly from the
center YouTube services:"You can no longer upload videos of more than ten minutes, regardless of the type of account You have. Users who have previously allowed to upload longer content still have this possibility, so you sometimes can find videos more than ten minutes. "Account: TEACHERThese accounts of teachers, such as special account others, clearly have the same functions as standard, but other than having a field allows you to enter more detailed information, defined as "Information about the 'artist' (artist info) besides affecting them, etc. ..
As can be seen below in the account "YouTuber" column "artist info" does not exist, the choice left less ...
Saying that, I do not see the difference Other large compared with the standard account.
Youtube says that all bills more likely to have special add a custom logo and link, but as above even if you register as a "YouTube" you can do ...
Account ComediansChannels "Comedian" is primarily intended for people who are comedy, parody, satire or funny sketches.
Teacher as a field account information on artists' ...
However, what distinguishes it is:
- Possibility to combine programs date possible and to show (the date event).
- Ability to add (in addition to the links the top of the channel) links to other sites to purchase tickets, DVDs, etc. .. short, on Basically it is possible to add The second link that points to an external site ...
Accounts: MusiciansAs a comedian account, you can add information about the concert, tour information, etc. ....
What distinguishes in particular:
- The achievement info "(artist information), and also be adapted for use This "Music" (with specific areas) is much more rich and articulated and allows You to put some links purchases directly from a CD or whatever 'Other.
- Ability to add the cover from the three albums (or what you want)
For the rest, of course has the opportunity same for all the special account (logos custom, links to external sites).
Account: DIRECTORThis account also allows multiple adjustments such as those seen earlier.
Can not put a lot of links so musician account 'it. What distinguishes it is:
- The presence of an advanced sound options, which can add additional links, but with "Anchor text" to be chosen, and will not appear as a classic URL "http://www .***", but Click on the sentence with our choice.
Sifting through YouTube's help center stating that this account has a specific option to customize the graphics, but for which I see is available the same to another account, then You can add background images back, adjust the text and colors.
The main difference is due to the possibility introduce customized links (as above).
Account: PARTNERYou can enjoy only if the Partner account You receive approval by YouTube to participate in the "Partner Program".
Accepted into the program partners can that revenue sharing with YouTube generated from ads on video screens and video itself (eg overlay ad).
Requirements for adequate participation limited, we can apply (at your get a rejection), although usually to make a proposal youtube.

And many more (see this
page on channel branding), moreover, will YouTube provides all the tools to partners maximize gain.
Account: REPORTERThere are many differences with the Guru, only info name change a field reporter, where You can enter your sources.
Account: POLITICSThis account has been created specifically for prospective U.S. presidential election but there is no intention by YouTube, to extend this experience for other electoral contexts, and at times future we may see other politicians bring their conversation on the site share videos via official channels.
