To enable Intermediate Features on a new YouTube channel, you need to meet certain eligibility requirements set by YouTube. Intermediate features unlock additional tools like custom thumbnails, live streaming, and the ability to upload longer videos (over 15 minutes).
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to enable and access Intermediate Features on your new YouTube channel:
Step 1: Sign In to Your YouTube Channel
- Sign in to your YouTube account that is associated with your new YouTube channel.
- Go to YouTube Studio at studio.youtube.com.
Step 2: Verify Your YouTube Channel
To unlock Intermediate Features, your account must first be verified. Here's how to verify it:
- Go to YouTube Studio: In the top-right corner of the YouTube homepage, click on your profile icon and select YouTube Studio.
- Open Settings: In YouTube Studio, click on the Settings icon (gear icon) on the bottom-left sidebar.
- Go to Channel Settings:
- In the settings menu, select Channel > Status and Features.
- Verify Account:
- If you haven’t verified your account yet, you will see an option to Verify it.
- Click on Verify and follow the instructions to verify via your phone number.
- You'll receive a code via SMS that you need to enter to complete the verification process.
Once verified, your account will be able to access features like custom thumbnails, live streaming, and longer video uploads.
Step 3: Enable Intermediate Features
After your account is verified, you can enable the following Intermediate Features:
1. Custom Thumbnails
- Custom thumbnails allow you to create unique and eye-catching previews for your videos.
- To enable custom thumbnails, go to YouTube Studio > Settings > Channel > Feature Eligibility.
- Under the Intermediate Features section, make sure Custom Thumbnails is enabled.
- You will be able to upload custom thumbnails for your videos once this feature is unlocked.
2. Live Streaming
- You need to verify your account and wait 24 hours to enable live streaming on your channel.
- To check if live streaming is enabled, go to YouTube Studio > Settings > Channel > Feature Eligibility.
- Once it is enabled, you can start live streaming by clicking on the Create button (camera icon) at the top of the YouTube homepage, then selecting Go live.
3. Upload Videos Longer than 15 Minutes
- By default, new YouTube channels can only upload videos up to 15 minutes long.
- To increase the upload limit, you need to verify your account via phone number (as explained in Step 2).
- Once verified, your account will be able to upload videos longer than 15 minutes.
4. Monetization (Once Eligible)
- To access monetization features like ads, you need to be eligible for the YouTube Partner Program (1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the last 12 months).
- Once eligible, you can enable monetization and start earning revenue from your videos.
- To enable monetization, go to YouTube Studio > Monetization and follow the steps to set up Google AdSense.
Step 4: Monitor Feature Eligibility in YouTube Studio
To see your Feature Eligibility and check which features are available:
- Go to YouTube Studio.
- Click on the Settings icon in the left sidebar.
- In the settings menu, select Channel > Feature Eligibility.
- You will see three categories:
- Basic Features: Available to all YouTube users (e.g., upload videos, create playlists).
- Intermediate Features: Available after account verification (e.g., custom thumbnails, live streaming, longer video uploads).
- Advanced Features: Available once your channel meets specific milestones (e.g., monetization eligibility).
Step 5: Additional Settings for Intermediate Features
- Live Streaming: If you plan to stream live, go to YouTube Studio > Create > Go Live to start your live broadcast. Ensure your webcam and mic are working for smooth streaming.
- Custom Thumbnails: Design your thumbnails using a tool like Canva or Photoshop, and upload them during the video upload process.
- Video Analytics: After uploading longer videos or enabling these features, track their performance via YouTube Analytics to see how they are performing in terms of views, watch time, and audience engagement.
Step 6: Wait for YouTube to Unlock Features
After you’ve verified your account and enabled these features, some features (like live streaming) may take up to 24 hours to become active.
Conclusion
To access Intermediate Features like custom thumbnails, live streaming, and longer video uploads on YouTube:
