Keep your design simple. Because it will be fairly small, any complex details may get lost. Make it bright and eye-catching. Save the file as a PNG.

Go to your YouTube Studio beta settings.

Now, to upload your watermark, start in the YouTube Studio Beta. On the left sidebar, select the settings tab.

In the next box that appears, click on the channel tab. You’ll see three options appear. Select the third tab, “branding.”

Upload your image file.

In the branding tab, click on “choose an image.” Select the image file you saved your watermark design under and upload it.
