My youtube vids from 14 years ago....accessing them?
Hi all....I have quite a few old video's of my early flying days on youtube.
For some reason I can access them to edit ect.....i have since created a new account which is fine.....but really would like to get into my old videos. Its possible its to do with registering with google some years ago....I dont know. Any ideas please. |
I pay to not get the YT inserted ads. One benefit of that is I can download videos. I don’t know if the downloaded file is in a proprietary format or not. Or if you can then upload them to a different account.
I also believe there are free download services like https://savetube.io/en25/youtube-to-mp4 |

What do you mean by "...get into my old videos"? Are you trying to download them off the youTube site onto your computer?

No but to be able to answer comments and edit details on the video.
For some reason I can access them to edit ect... You could try the Google Community Help Forum. I find those sort of places pretty hit-or-miss but you might get lucky. Maybe take advantage of a free trial of YouTube Premium in case that opens any doors. I think Junkman's suggestion of downloading the videos and uploading them to a new account is probably the best option if you can't persuade Google to give you access to the old account. Good Luck |
No typo.....I cant edit my videos or answer a comment that I may want to......I want to keep the history intact.....they go back a long way

I don't suppose you still have access to the same email address that you originally registered with ? (I know - unlikely) - just in case they have a 'Lost my Password' option ?
Sorry probably a silly question because of the Google takeover :) As Netstruggler posted - maybe the Google community help forum ? |
Yes same email.....prob back then you used your own I think.....seem to thing it needs to be a GMAIL these days.....I think at the time of that change over things may have gone wrong

I ran into something like what you're dealing with. My old YouTube channel was called "SkyHigh Views," and it's been around for ages. It was a bit of a hassle, but I managed to get back into my old videos by figuring out my old Google account that was connected to YouTube. After I got in, I realized those old videos could really use some updating. That's when I found Movavi for video editing. It made a huge difference, making my videos look way better and more interesting to watch. Movavi was super easy to use and had lots of cool features that helped make my videos stand out. If you're thinking of giving your videos a new look, you might want to check out Movavi. You can learn more and get it for free there.

DSS thanks for that idea.....had a look back on all my old Google sign in for some years ago....noting works.
No help line either for youtube. Look like I am stumped.. |
When I search on 'recover old youtube account' or something similar, I get these suggestions:
|
Ok great.....I will give that a go and report back...thankyou.
