Transfer Youtube Channel from GSuite to Microsoft 365 account
miles-t Yeah, I've still not got a clear response from Google or Microsoft. Seems very strange that such an issue is not addressed till now. How do brands manage this - we don't want to start from scratch nor do we want to lose existing data nor have to maintain multiple domains and incur costs.
What I understood from some lengthy GSuite Support discussions is that -
- For Youtube, we gotta first create a Brand Account and transfer our existing Youtube channel to the Brand account which can be managed by multiple email addresses (non Gmail)
- For Ads and Analytics, apparently we still need a Google account. Not sure
This is very strange. We've switched to M365 6 months now and I'm still paying for GSuite because I still don't have a clear solution.

Were you able to find a easy solution for this. We are in a similar situation and planning to migrate our corporate email from Google Workspace(Gmail) to Microsoft365 (Exchange). The email address for all the individual is expected to stay the same. For instance mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons with continue to be my email except that it will now be hosted by Microsoft and not google. My question is whether we will still be able to keep my youtube account/channels (also similarly the googleanalytics account).
Based on your post, I imagine you were going through a similar situation. Would be great if you can share your experience.
Thanks
