YouTube contacts
Note: YouTube contacts are currently supported only on the YouTube app.
YouTube Contacts are people with whom you can share videos and chat privately with on the YouTube app. People only become contacts after an invitation is sent by one person and accepted by the other. You can add contacts to YouTube in two ways:
- Selecting your contacts in-app
- Connecting the app to your contact list
- Go to the Shared tab
.
- Select View contacts.
- Go to the “You may know” section. This includes people you may know based on your usage of Google products.
- Tap Invite
to send an invitation.
You can also send invitations by tapping + Add more contacts. Send invitations to people in your phone book via text messaging, or send an invitation link through any app you want.
The recipient must accept your invitation before you can share videos with them. Recipients need the YouTube mobile app and a Google Account to accept your invitation. Invitation links expire after 72 hours if not accepted.
