Everything is going great until *ཞɛƈơཞɖ ʂƈཞąɬƈɧ* your account gets hacked. It doesn’t have to be this way. In honor of #WorldPasswordDay, here are several steps you can take to secure your @YouTube account 👇
Something smells phishy? There are bad actors out there who send fake or suspicious emails that appear to come from an official company or reputable source. They want your log-ins. Here’s how to spot and stop it → yt.be/suspicious-ema…
Let us see you 1-2-Step Verification. Protect your account with both your password and an additional device → yt.be/2-step-verific…
Not everyone needs access to your account. Set channel-level permissions and check on a regular basis to make sure they’re correct. This determines who has access to your YouTube channel. After all, it’s *your* channel → yt.be/channel-level-…
Finally, since it's #WorldPasswordDay, get creative with a strong password that's hard to guess. Make it at least 8 characters long and include special characters. Avoid your name, birthday, pet’s name, or anything else that may be public. And definitely don’t use '123456'!

(1/4) Due to the disturbing events that transpired yesterday, and given that the election results have now been certified, starting today *any* channels posting new videos with false claims in violation of our policies will now receive a strike. support.google.com/youtube/answer…
(2/4) Over the last month, we’ve removed thousands of videos which spread misinformation claiming widespread voter fraud changed the result of the 2020 election, including several videos President Trump posted to his channel.
(3/4) When we updated our misinformation policy in Dec (blog.youtube/news-and-event…) we communicated that there would be a short grace period, originally ending on Inauguration Day, & new content that broke our rules would be removed without penalty. That grace period has now ended.

For all of you "total beginners" out there: @TheNotoriousKIA made this for you. →
Kia and @rewboss agree: you should plan your shoot with the edit in mind. This can mean planning out what your video will look like and only shooting what you need, or getting multiple takes and plenty of wide shots and close-ups.
The takeaway from @TeriosGaming and Kia: technology is fallible. Back up and save your work as often as possible. You can't guarantee a reshoot, and it's frustrating to lose your hard work just because you forgot to save.
