Hmm, you actually found the right article on how you can move your YouTube channel to a different account: https://yt.be/help/sVnV Currently, this is the only way to move your channel to another account. Please make sure to follow all the steps. Hope this gets resolved.

I am. It doesn’t seem to be working. I wonder if that works for legacy accounts? If I record a screencast and share with you are you able to see it?

Yes, it should work for Legacy accounts – you can send us a screencast if you're still having issues. Once you've moved your Legacy account to a Brand account, you can change ownership to your new Gmail account using these steps: https://yt.be/help/rYkq Keep us posted!

Based off https://support.google.com/youtube/forum/AAAAiuErobUP4mpqebZXlo … it seems like I could retain the http://youtube.com/mgallizzi URL. Can you confirm this and/or it works w/legacy accounts? Not sure if you're able to check my specific account but that would be great. I'm trying to get as much certainty as possible.

Yes, once you move your channel to a Brand Account the "user/channelname" will stay wil your channel. Let us know if you have other questions!

Thank you, and to be extra sure, specifically http://youtube.com/mgallizzi will "stay" with the channel after I convert it from a personal account (likely on legacy) to a Brand Channel, correct? I believe /mgallizzi is a redirect to /user/mgallizzi but want to be sure - thank you.

Great. And in order to move from a personal account to a branded channel, I believe I first have to *create the channel* and then override the channel with my personal account? Is that correct? Thank you.

I have successfully done what I was looking for (transfer personal legacy channel to brand channel and move). Is it possible to move a youtube video from one brand account to another? I don't think so, I think I have to download the video and re-upload. Can you confirm?

You're right! You can just reupload the video as there's no way to move it from one account to another at this time. Hope this clarifies.
