How To Change Your Picture On Youtube – This Techparol will teach you how to change your profile picture on YouTube. Your YouTube account is linked to your Google account. So you can change your profile picture on YouTube by editing your profile picture on Google.

Your YouTube profile picture is often the first thing other YouTubers experience of your account and channel, so it’s important that it’s as eye-catching and as effective as possible. Accordingly, this guide explains how to change your profile picture, covering how to make the change on desktop and laptop computers, and also on Smartphones.

How to Change Your YouTube Profile Picture Using a Smartphone or Tablet:

Assuming that you don’t have a desktop or laptop computer readily to hand, you can change your YouTube profile picture using your Smartphone or tablet. Regardless of whether you use iOS or

Android, here’s what you do if you have the YouTube app downloaded on your device:

Step1: Open the YouTube app

Step2: Sign in to your YouTube account

Step3: Tap your profile picture in the top-right corner of the page

Change Your Profile Picture on YouTube in a Browser:

Your YouTube profile picture comes from your Google+ profile. You can therefore change it in one of two ways: by logging into YouTube and changing it from there, or by going directly to your Google+ account.

For desktop and laptop users (Windows and Mac), here’s how to change it via YouTube:

Step1: Go to youtube.com in a computer’s browser

Step2: Click your YouTube profile picture, in the top-right corner of the screen

Step3: Click My channel

Step4: Click your profile picture

Step5: Click EDIT

Step6: Pick the image you’d like to use as your profile picture, or select Upload photo to choose a photo saved to your computer

This changes your YouTube profile picture, which is also your Google+ picture. However, you should bear in mind that it may take anything from several minutes to several hours for the change to register across all relevant accounts (e.g. it’s also your picture for Gmail and Google Hangouts).

One thing some users might notice is that, even after changing their Google profile picture like this, their YouTube profile picture might stubbornly remain the same. While this issue doesn’t actually affect anyone else who comes across your YouTube profile, it can be frustrating to keep seeing your old picture when you log back into the video-sharing site. Fortunately, you can solve this issue by clearing your browser’s cache.

How to Change Your YouTube Profile Picture Using Google:

Alternatively, you can head straight to your Google+ account and change your YouTube My Channel picture directly. Here’s how to do it:

Step1: Go to plus.google.com

Step2: Click Profile (from the menu running down the left-hand side of the screen)

Step3: Click EDIT PROFILE

Step4: Click your profile picture

Step5: Pick the image you’d like to use as your profile picture, or select Upload photo to choose a photo saved to your computer

This will change your Google+ profile picture, and by extension it will also change your YouTube My Channel image.
