Your channel will switch to YouTube One Channel soon

Follow YouTube for the best videos:           Since we launched the YouTube One Channel beta in February, millions have made the switch. These channels have experienced more visits to their channel page and an increase in new subscriptions. In the next two weeks, we'll be retiring the old channel design and switching all channels to YouTube One Channel. If you have not opted in by then, your channel will be automatically and permanently moved to the new design. If you're ready to make the move today, you can opt in here. By switching today, you can: Gain more subscribers. Increase the chances that someone subscribes every time they visit your channel-- overall we have seen an increase in new subscribers for channels using the new design. Get more visits. Channels that are opted in to the new design have seen a significant increase in visits to their channel page because clicks from the guide always go directly to the channel. Let your brand shine through in more places. Channels that are opted in to One Channel have their channel art visible on iOS & Android apps, mobile web and TV. Channels that are not in the new design have NO branding on these devices. Here's what you can do to prepare: Select your channel art: Choose an image that represents your channel. The image should be 2560 px by 1440 px for the best results on all devices. If you plan on designing something special, check out the specs here. Upload a trailer: Show viewers who are not yet subscribed to your channel why they should subscribe. This is your opportunity to showcase the content on your channel and show viewers why your channel is great! Create sections: Select which videos and playlists you want to showcase in the sections on your channel's browse tab. Link your channel with a google+ page or profile if you haven't already (set-up steps for page and profile). This is highly recommended. Keeping your branding up-to-date will be even simpler because your channel art will represent you across YouTube, Google+, and all Google properties.
