YouTube Studio

The YouTube Studio is where you'll go to manage your YouTube channel. From here, you can see statistics on how many people have viewed your videos, respond to any comments you've received, and more. You'll also be able to access the Video Manager, which allows you to edit your videos, add captions and annotations, and perform similar functions.

To access the YouTube Studio, select your Profile picture in the top-right corner of any YouTube page, then select YouTube Studio.
