Trying to figure out Youtube Channel/Gmail

SachTube · 07-06-17, 12:55 PM

This is sort of embarrassing so please bear with me. About two years ago I set up a Youtube channel of showing off Sub Command and other games. Of course learn many things with exception to one thing: Making sure my gmail account is not linked to the channel. Tried every thing; sending question to Google, did a search, and honest to God its damn confusing! So I was wondering if anyone know how to make sure its separate. I don't want a prospective employer to peek on the Youtube channel.

Create a different Gmail account and link to that. Do not co-mingle anything on it, or they may still link you to the account (your employer, that is) - Google does authomatically... It doesn't matter much anyway with Google, since I've created a Google Drive with one email account, a separate email for a "shared" Google drive, another email for a Youtube account, and another email account for something else Google, all of which, only one is GMail... I can log in on just about any of the accounts, click on the little grid there in the upper right-hand corner of any of the Google Apps, choose another Google app, click on the resultant "log-in" button, and Google will log me in - to anything - no user name, no password. They ~know~ who I am... Kind of scray, in a Microsoft sort of way...

I was afraid of that. I thought it would be possible to simply change the name of the Youtube, but it end up changing the email salutations.

You know what? If someone looks at your videos of simulation gameplay and decides not to hire you, they don't deserve you. The next guy will hire you BECAUSE of your gaming videos. Everything is divisive. Nothing is safe. Live your life without fear and if they don't like it it's their problem.
