Know more about YouTube Brand Channel – Part 2

Back with some more details on YouTube Brand Channel. In my last post of YouTube Brand Channel I have discussed on the basic details of the channel creation and one of it features ‘Custom Images’. Let us see some more features on the YouTube Brand Channel.

Profile Icon:

The profile icon on the channel is a square image which appears on different locations of the channel with different sizes.  Here is the table that shows you the sizes and positions of the profile icon on the channel:

It is recommended that this profile icon could be your logo, product related to your brand. Also the image, though of a big size, should be of square shape.

Themes and Colours:

This feature allows you to select the perfect themes and colours to your channel. There are standard themes and colours which are predefined in the channel from which you can choose or you can create one custom theme for your brand only.

The settings where you can edit the colours are as follows:

• Background color: the body background colour for the modules that appear on your page
• Title text color: the color given for the display module name and the channel name
• Link color: any link used on the channel will be displayed with this colour
• Body text color: the colour for the content on the channel
• Transparency: this one is used to adjust the transparency of the background colour

Background Image:

If you are not opting for a background colour to your channel you can choose a background image for your channel that enhances the brand awareness of your organization. You can choose a file from your machine as a background image but it has some specifications as given below

 Size – There is no limitation on the size of the background image though the optimal size would be 256KB, as the images with higher size will increase the channel page load time

Width and Height – no minimum or maximum value for the height and width of the background image, backgrounds are usually between 1500px and 2000px wide and 1200px and 2500px tall.

Modules:

There are different modules that you can choose to display or not to display. The modules available are
