OK let's not talk about Channel layouts or for the ones who doesn't know what channel layout means.
Is it how your channel is actually built.
When you go to my channel for example this gets when a press right here plus your channel and I go to.
Well my channel that that takes me where my channel is.
It is how the videos are structured how the channel looks like what videos pops up first.
The portal channel layout of course is a logo and that the banner as well.
But we talked about logo and a banner in the beginning section.
So should you'll have let go if you want to begin understanding go there.
We're going to talk about with a bit more advanced step in the next lectures but we're going to ignore
the banner and logo for now.
Now we're going to talk about only the channel layout for example this featured channel how to look
like all the videos how they are structures would reduce our shot first in what view and etc. etc..
You wanted this to have a structured as possible.
Now the question why why do you need this structure and why it is so important.
That's because when individuals are coming to a channels and know that more than half of the people
who subscribe to your channel is coming towards your channel page they need to see a good channel layout
of this challenge.
One of my challenges actually gave me channel and which I applaud there every single day I don't have
a lot of use you can see is a quite a little amount of use but some some videos are actually pretty
pretty popular having more of a few thousand views and they're just doing pretty fine this challenging
pretty fine for me and the majority of the subscribers and views are coming because of this channel
layout it is very very important to have very good channel layout why again when we were coming to your
channel they see the amount of content that you have the amount of structure that you have the amount
of videos that you have and they immediately will think about subscribing because they have something
to subscribe to.
Basically they don't have a single.
Only a single video that they like they can watch a bunch of videos and they will want to go to the
videos tab and they go and watch all of those things and go and do different stuff etc. etc. so they
have a reason to subscribe.
Now how would you need to build up those channel layouts or to do so.
Right now we're in a new YouTube channel lay out all these you do is just go and press customized channel
you're going to go and press customize channel and that's that will take you to the Con channel customization.
In this case for today what it does it takes me to the YouTube old old view and that's the old place
that we can customize.
I don't know what in the future it might change so depending on when you watch this but it just took
me to the old YouTube Channel View and first thing that you will need to understand is what you're viewing
the channel as your viewing the channel as yourself as a new visitor or returning subscriber.
You don't need to choose any news as the returns subscribe but for now.
For now you need to view it as your self.
Then the second thing that is important to you that you need to take really close attention is this
tab right here.
This tab has a switcher.
It's for returning subscribers or for new visitors meaning that two different types of people will see
two different things on this tab returning subscribers for me.
For me we'll see this video and new visitors will see this video as you can see it's smaller for their
total subscribers bigger for the new visitors because usually this place is reserved for the channel
trailer you are uploading a channel trailer here only.
This is the only tab and only place that you cannot move anywhere in the YouTube channel or all the
other tabs you can move up and down whatever you want.
But this is always on the top for the return of subscribers you usually want to have either your latest
video or the video that people want you want to watch this video and you will all you all need to do
to change this is by pressing this pencil button and just go and edit it you can choose whatever you
want You want a video or if you want an entire playlist here to show up you can do whatever you want.
So for example I have this video and instead of video showing this video I can just go and put the video
this plainly is where this video is actually available and I can't even change the heading of this thing
basically.
And right now when people were going to click this they're going to click just play all not just all
the the one we did you got this is the entire series.
We have five videos which only two are available for now but one they will go there and they will just
go on watch entire series for the new visitors.
It's a completely different thing for the new visitors.
It's the channel trailer place.
This is the video that you want your visitors to watch right away.
It's usually the place reserved for the best video that you have or the most popular video that you
have all of the video that mostly represents your channel or the video that you chose as your channel
trailer.
Now speaking of the channel trailer many YouTube us will tell you that all you need to put a channel
trailer in order to explain what your channel is all about in my opinion what I see from my experience
channel trailer does not affect your channel growth because in today's day and age and past maybe it
worked.
But in today's day and age people just simply do not have time to listen to your marketing pitch for
your channel just why they should subscribe to a channel.
They see the videos they can scroll to the videos they see what you are uploading.
If they want that they will subscribe.
They do need your words for it.
Your channels should.
Speak for yourself and your video should speak for itself and for that reason I highly suggest you to
put your best video or the video that mostly represents your channel.
Right here you can change the same right here.
This is said the change trailer or removed trailer.
You can have a change role.
You can actually remove and have nothing right here.
We can press change trailer in the same thing that you did in the returning subscribers by.
Unlike that one you cannot do playlists here you can only do the just single videos.
You can just if you want to add videos under 2 minutes if you want.
Or this was actually my channel trailers back in the day.
Or you can go and do the other things like the news or something or some other things so just cancel
I'm not gonna change everything.
Next things that you will see all those things are the channel layout things.
Basically they did the things that you can put in the channel layout because I have a lot of videos
even though this is intermediate section but I have this thing is more towards more advanced types the
to have a lot of videos.
You can start creating this and an in an intermediate level and then just go to the future however you
want.
Right here I have just upload right here.
This is all the latest uploads.
And the thing that you will see that different from each and every little issue here is that you have
two titles list.
This is a vertical row I think it's a yes a vertical list.
This list is called vertical lists and this is a horizontal roll as you can see I interchange them.
The playlists are usually just in horizontal row and different things like series and the pop upload
and s are in those vertical lists.
So is it is it doesn't make any difference.
No but it looks good and because it looks good it is more attractive for your viewer.
So just change this view however you want.
So I'm gonna just do a show you one example of how it is done.
I'm gonna just go and remove this one right here just to show you how it is done.
When you go down is you have a for you to be near the top.
But for me it's the one the way down is an ad section tap.
All they do is press at section right here or if you want to change whatever existing section you can
press the same thing and add section it will do exactly the same thing and you can select the content
that you want.
You can add videos or including popular videos and uploads your liked videos.
If you have it all of course unlocked.
I don't suggest that you do like we just posted videos.
I don't know what's the difference between posting videos and uploads it's basically the same as uploads
live now what shows you for life.
Now I have line now tab right here.
It will when I will be live it will show me right here show to my people right my subscribers right
here.
Your upcoming live streams your past life streams your playlists Eagle and incredibly any single player
they say playlist multiple playlist posted playlists your channels for example where channels are subscribed
or a custom grouping if you want to show off the specific channels that you want or if you have a very
recent post on the possible unlock.
I think it's unlocked and a few thousand scrubbers I don't know exactly I want my one of my channels
I have post unlocked but I have it on five thousand subscribers so I don't know exactly when and how
long.
I do remember it was quite a while ago.
So this is the post if you want to post but to put it for example I want to put my past livestream right
here.
What I will to do is to select right here as I will select my past life room and because I have selected
my horizontal rope which will show it right here in this way.
But if I want to change the vertical list when I press like this and we show it in this way I want to
press your more into will be expand more and more and more and more but that will not infinitely because
it will just stop it eventually.
Now because it's you turn back right here and if I want to put it up and down or above anything else
or etc etc all introduced.
Just press these arrows and press this arrow and it will go up and down up and down.
I don't need it to be there.
I'm just going to put it in the last place or sometimes it just lacks and just oh okay that's weird
enough.
It does not want to go down for some reason.
Okay whatever it is it's the problem with my customizations and don't worry about that.
Probably I will need to just refresh it.
And it will just fix itself.
Sometimes it just lacks and have some problems as you can see you like in my case it just disappeared
because I deleted it in the past.
I will just put a past love story right here.
Put horizontal roll and done that's it.
All I need to do is just put it in the last place or now I'll just put this live.
Now tap a bit higher just because to let my viewers know when I'm live with they will go to my channel
right here.
No I'm going to put it a bit more above did you like that.
Just like that.
And yeah just like that.
Now just like that one when I'm live it's gonna show showed above everything.
I cannot put it higher than this one because I cannot put it higher than this for returning subscribers
tap.
It's impossible that this will always be on tap and for me to new cities will be on top.
For example for the playlist in my case I have called it serious but you can change the name of the
playlist as well.
You can press edit right here as is the case you have multiple plays vertical list and I have ADD playlist
I just added in each and every place separately and it just showed right here.
Just work with it play with it make it look as full as possible just fill it up as much as possible
try to use vertical lists instead of horizontal rows more often because it takes a larger amount of
space in it it looks like that you have more videos for example have uploads and just popular videos
and play this and it will just fill out the entire screen when someone will come in you need to have
filled out entire screen for the people to to watch have your entire screen full if you don't have enough
videos don't worry about it just just continue filling it out as your videos come out have add add to
playlists add videos each will fill out eventually right now on this channel I have you 100 videos I'm
not sure about this.
Exactly.
I have more than 200 of you so it was pretty easy for me to fill it out even though many of the videos
so you will just repeat like for them this videos are repeating what one of those are repeating etc
cetera.
It's still quite full so don't worry about this one thing that you will also need to add is defeat Richard
challenge.
If you have any other channels always add a feature channel.
Press Edit module right here.
And add a feature channel if you have you can call it whatever name that you want or add or however
amount of number channels that you have.
You have other channels or if you want to chat other channels to promote there's a good thing.
If you work with other channels and you want to cross promote each other you can do this right here.
So do this 100 percent.
Another thing that I want to teach you in the channel layout is this thing right here is it's more and
more close to the parents stuff but I'm going to just teach you in this video.
This is your links that you want to include on your banner.
Just always use always have links right here because you never know when people just want to get in
touch with you through Facebook through Instagram or through Twitter and all they need to do is go to
about section right here.
It sucks to read about and you will have a link right here and press the pencil right here and add that
the link name that you wanted to call and then I'd just link add their icons will appear automatically
depending on the website that you do not all the websites are doing the same thing but it will do for
the websites that are in the database.
You can go and select the five links you can go.
I don't think that you have a limitation on amount of links that you can add you can edit to whatever
number of links that you want but only a few of the links will appear on the channel art.
Not all of the links will appear you can add only up to 5 links on a channel art right here.
Well first one will be the full name.
The second was will the other four will be just general icons and all the rest will be will appear just
right here.
All the rest will appear right here if you want to have it.
One hundred percent.
So this will be it for the next lecture that just move to the next one.
