YouTube is a great place to store old videos. You can watch them, share them, or just keep them for yourself. But if you want to recover an old YouTube account, there are a few things you need to do. First, make sure that your YouTube account is still active. If it isn’t, you can create a new one by clicking on the link in the top right corner of the main screen of your YouTube page. Next, find and copy the login information for your old YouTube account. This will help you access your videos and settings from now on. Finally, go to the “Settings” section of your YouTube page and click on “Recover my account.” This will take you to a page where you can choose how to restore your account. You can choose to have all of your videos restored automatically or just some of them.
