Ⅰ、The Relationship Between YouTube Accounts and Google Accounts
YouTube and Gmail are both applications and platforms under Google, and they are closely connected. Since YouTube is part of Google, users do not need to register a separate account to use YouTube—they can log in directly using their Google account. In fact, a Google account and a Gmail account are the same account. In other words, users who have a Gmail email address already possess a Google account, which can be used across multiple Google services. Once logged into YouTube with a Google account, users can freely access features such as subscribing to channels, commenting, liking, and creating playlists without needing to register again specifically for YouTube. This integrated account system by Google greatly simplifies the user experience, allowing seamless switching and use of various services within the Google ecosystem. If you do not yet have a Google account, please refer to the previously published article by the author titled “Gmail Registration Tutorial (2025 Latest Tested and Effective)” and follow the steps in the guide to complete your own Google Account Application.
