@TeamYouTube Hi. I am trying to consolidate my YouTube set up. I have a YouTube channel under an old Gmail account that I want to move to a new Gmail account. It has the user/channel name that I want to retain http://youtube.com/mgallizzi - can I move this to another Gmail account?

I have seen https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/3056283?hl=en … - I only see option to move to a Brand account. Attached screenshot of what I see when I attempt that from my Gmail account. I am also logged in with my new gmail account. I am concerned about doing something irreversible. Hope you can help.pic.twitter.com/e3ASb6luer

Appreciate the screenshot – when moving a channel to another account, make sure that you're logged in to the source account. This will allow you to see all options available for moving and to prevent accidental deletion of your channel.

Thank you for the response, impressive. I am logged into both accounts. I am relatively advanced user who acknowledges the nuances of YouTube, legacy accounts and various changes over the years. I am able to switch between two gmail accounts yet it doesn’t show them. Other ideas?

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!

Thank your quick responses. Is there a way to private message you? Screencasts may have sensitive info. If I convert legacy account to brand account, will I lose my vanity URL? http://youtube.com/mgallizzi - thank you.
