I already have a Google Account
If you already have a Google Account, then adding YouTube is very simple. Visit http://www.youtube.com, click **Sign in** in the top-right corner, and enter your Google Account login information. That’s it! Using your Google Account, you can log into YouTube and access many features without setting up a Channel. Once logged in with your Google Account, you can like videos, subscribe to channels, and flag videos using just your Google Account. You can also add videos to Watch Later. While you're logged in, YouTube will keep track of your viewing history, and use videos you’ve watched, videos you’ve liked, and your subscriptions to recommend other videos for you to enjoy. If you'd like to upload your own video content, comment on your favorite videos, or create playlists, you'll need to create a Channel first.
