It’s a good idea to highlight some “featured channels” beneath the “about” page on your YouTube channel. Associating your channel with similar channels in your niche helps YouTube know a bit more what niche your channel is in. It also helps because, by recommending other content your viewers may like, it helps increase the “watch time” of their overall viewing session on YouTube, thus making your content appear to be more valuable to YouTube and increasing your rankings in search.

Great Video thanks
is this true in 2020? Should I add some 'Featured Channels' to my channel (I would add ones that are bigger than mine but in the very similar niche ?) thanks any helpful comments…
I liked this video a while back, so obviously watched it but do not remember ever doing so! Going to add a couple of featured channels now! Thanks! It can't hurt 🙂
Thanks this was helpful
I have a channel and I was wondering about featuring channel.
Thanks a lot ..
i dont see the featured channel icon in my youtube account
Can I ask multiple channel owners to add my channel as featured channel?
Hey please feature my channel
I think related channels are channels related to the types of videos you make or it's random channels you like idrk XD
Tim, Have you learned any more information on this topic? Do Featured Channels show any signs of helping YouTube possibly suggest your videos along side those related channels or similar content?
This is OLD hat….!
Sure! I do, anyway. It's a good way to promote some of your other stuff.
Thank you! Also, Should I have my other channels in this section too or no?
I'd say feature various channels that all kinda reflect your channel a bit.
How does this effect channels with various content like mine?
Thanks, Kevin! Hope it helps all your older content!
Great job Tim. I really appreciate your advice and I am just starting to use your tips to my current and back catalogue.
Ronnie Bincer, *****, and I talk about the overlooked #videoseo benefits of adding featured channels to your YouTube One Design channel:
1) Associate your channel with similar content to give YouTube more context about your channel.
2) increase your viewers' overall viewing session and watch time by suggesting other recommended content.

Oh, thanks TIM!
I don't think we have you guys on our family vlog channel. I'll go add ya right now!
Yup. That's why I feature family channels on my channel. I've had trouble convincing others to feature me however. The benefits aren't clear to most I assume. I figure ill try anything if it has a possibility of helping. 🙂
Interesting! Thank you very much!
