Method for Moving Favorite Videos from One Account to Another: Detailed Instructions

If you're looking to transfer your liked videos from one YouTube account to another, it's important to note that YouTube does not offer a built-in feature for this purpose. However, there is a safe and efficient method to replicate your curated video collection. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Creating a Playlist on Your Old Account

  1. Navigate to your liked videos on your old account.
  2. Add each liked video to a new playlist. Unfortunately, YouTube does not offer bulk adding likes to a playlist automatically, so this might require some manual effort.

Making the Playlist Public or Shareable

  1. Set the playlist visibility to either Public or Unlisted. This will allow you to access it from your new account.

Logging Into Your New Account

  1. Open the shared playlist on your new account.

Manually Adding Videos to a New Playlist in Your New Account

  1. From the shared playlist, add all videos to a new playlist in the new account. You cannot “import” the playlist directly, but this manual method replicates it.

(Optional) Downloading and Reuploading Videos

  1. If you wish to have offline copies of the videos, you could download them using a third-party tool and re-upload them to the new account with new playlists. However, this is time-consuming and may violate YouTube’s Terms of Service depending on the content and copyright rules.

It's crucial to prioritize account security when transferring your liked videos. Use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication for added protection.

Unfortunately, there is no fully automated or official safe method to transfer likes between YouTube accounts due to data privacy policies. Avoid third-party services claiming to do this as they often require your account credentials, posing security risks.

In summary, the safest and most reliable approach is to manually recreate your liked videos as playlists and transfer those playlists between accounts through sharing and manual addition. This method is ideal for transferring your own personal videos between accounts, as it gives you complete control over the content. It also provides a more organized way to manage your curated video collection compared to manually re-liking videos on a new account.
