The video host YouTube was created in 2005 and acquired by Google a year later. The two are therefore intimately linked and in particular share a certain number of data. To create a profile on the YouTube platform, you must have a Google account. Either we already have one, and then the connection to YouTube will be done automatically, or the service will request that a Google account be created.
YouTube profile creation requires a Google account. Registration on the platform only takes a few seconds. It provides access to most of YouTube's features: you can therefore create your own audiovisual channel as well as playlists, like content posted by other people, subscribe to their videos, etc. A viewing history is also available for the logged in user, as well as a 'Watch Later' section.
