[00:00] Collaborations make it easier to showcase&nbsp; how you work with other creators on YouTube&nbsp;&nbsp; and grow your channels together. You can add&nbsp; up to five collaborators on a single video,&nbsp;&nbsp; which will feature each creator's name and&nbsp; a subscribe button for all channels. The&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:16] video will appear in the subscriptions feed of&nbsp; all listed collaborators audiences and may be&nbsp;&nbsp; recommended to them, increasing discoverability.&nbsp; Let's walk through how to use collaborations and&nbsp;&nbsp; some important things to keep in mind when using&nbsp; them. To invite other creators to a collaboration&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:31] on your videos in Shorts, head to YouTube Studio&nbsp; on desktop or mobile. During the upload flow&nbsp;&nbsp; under the details page, choose show more, then&nbsp; invite a collaborator. Search for the channel&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:45] you want to add. You can also choose whether&nbsp; to grant the collaborator analytics viewing.&nbsp;&nbsp; Note that even if you grant this access, they&nbsp; won't be able to see your revenue information.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then choose create link. Here you can share the&nbsp; link with the person you want to collaborate&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:01] with. The link will be active after you&nbsp; upload your video. You can invite up to&nbsp;&nbsp; five channels to collaborate with. You'll be&nbsp; able to see when a collaborator has accepted&nbsp;&nbsp; your invitation and use the three dot menu&nbsp; to reshare the link, manage analytics access,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:16] or remove the collaborator. Once your video&nbsp; is uploaded in the invited channels accept&nbsp;&nbsp; the invite link, the video or short will display&nbsp; all collaborators channel names with a subscribe&nbsp;&nbsp; button for each. To feature your collaborations&nbsp; on your channel homepage, head to YouTube Studio,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:33] then customization, then home tab. Choose&nbsp; add section, then choose collaborations. Now,&nbsp;&nbsp; let's walk through some important things to&nbsp; keep in mind when using collaborations. First,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:47] even when you add collaborators, you're still&nbsp; in control of the video or short. Only you can&nbsp;&nbsp; make changes to the video. You'll also retain&nbsp; full ownership. As the owner, you'll keep all&nbsp;&nbsp; the revenue, views, and watch time from the video.&nbsp; And remember, if you have paid product placements,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:05] endorsements, or sponsorships, you'll need&nbsp; to check the paid promotions box. For more&nbsp;&nbsp; info on using collaborations on your videos and&nbsp; shorts, check out the links in the description.
