*sigh*.... another day, another YouTuber I know whose channel was hijacked and removed. Also another creator asking me how to find the info to fill out the hijacking form because he didn't have it all saved anywhere. People, please. 🙏 Do yourselves a huge favor. Stop whatever it is you're doing and go grab this information right now, write it all down and put it somewhere safe and secure. When you can't acces your channel, it's really hard to find some of this information quickly and at that point this tweet will be useless to you. The 4 MOST important pieces of information you need to have securely saved and ready in case of a channel hijacking/removal are: 1.Your YouTube Channel ID 2.The Day, Month & Year you created your YouTube channel 3.The primary email address associated with your YouTube channel for sign-in 4.Your IP address -------------------------------------- 🔴 How to find your channel ID: support.google.com/youtube/answer… 🔴 How to find your channel start date: It's listed on the "About" tab of your channel 🔴 How to find your IP address PC - support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/… Mac - discussions.apple.com/thread/8421538 🔴 How to report a hijacked YouTube channel: support.google.com/youtube/contac…
@Daniel_Batal Do we know if these channels that get hijacked had two-factor auth enabled?
@Daniel_Batal Having your livelihood wrapped up with a company that gives no shits about you, your channel or your livelihood. Best advice would be to diversify quickly and begin divesting yourself from YouTube.
@Daniel_Batal "Your IP" will likely change, varies from ISP to ISP (at least). This can be brought up via a google search, "What is my IP". Jotting this down Now, doesn't mean it'll be the same next month or next year. Grab it as you need it.
@Daniel_Batal I got my info and put it on a file on my laptop. Thanks!
@Daniel_Batal Good luck saving your IP when most people have a dynamic one.
