YouTube Channel Ownership

[Leen202011]

Hi .. I have 2 questions:

1- can 2 people share YouTube channel ownership? does YouTube support that or should be contract ?

2- What if there is another name same name as my channel, is that a problem? (but it is not really active, and another one has the same name but their content not same as mine).

appreciate your help.

You would have to ask YouTube about that.

2- What is there is another name same name as my channel can, is that a problem? but not really active, and another one same name but their content not same as mine.

appreciate your help.

Again, you would have to ask YouTube about that, however, odds are that they won't allow two different channels to have the same name.

I have Emailed them, but meanwhile I would like to know if any lawyer can help ( especially if they don't register 2 owners ) does a contract between 2 owners while its registered under one of them could fix the issue ?

A properly written contract would certainly be how most people would deal with the issue.

YouTube offers a lot of support to those setting up channels.

You should set up your YouTube channel with a unique brand name to distinguish your channel from all others and to avoid infringing on anyone else’s rights. Do not use someone else’s name.

It is easiest to first set up a personal account for only you and then add team members to help you manage your channel.

A written agreement is best drafted by an attorney. It should detail all terms and conditions of your business relationship so you and your business partners are clear as to what roles you each will play and what is expected. Make sure you include a provision in your agreement on how to terminate the business relationship. Your goal with the agreement will be to address in advance all possible problems that could arise so, if a dispute arises later, the agreement spells out how to resolve it.

Good luck.

can 2 people share YouTube channel ownership?

I'm not sure what you mean by "channel ownership." I doubt that having a YT channel confers any property interest on the person who operates the channel.

does YouTube support that

This doesn't appear to be a legal question; you'd have to ask YT.

or should be contract ?

Huh?

What if there is another name same name as my channel, is that a problem?

Ummm...it's no problem for me. Is it a problem for you?

I would like to know if any lawyer can help

Help you do what?

does a contract between 2 owners while its registered under one of them could fix the issue ?

What issue?

You haven't described any problem or issue, and all of your intelligible questions appear to be factual (not legal) questions based on the terms and conditions of a website.

Sharing the same name can be a legal issue. Trademark infringement.

Drawing up a business contract can be a legal issue.

Possibly. bracknelson's post did not add anything new to the thread - unless he included a "relevant source" (that has since been deleted).

Ah well. It is what it is.

No relevant source was in the post. It was as it is.
