Change your profile picture and channel background
Your profile picture shows who you are. Try not to confuse your audience by uploading an image unrelated to your channel.
Add channel artwork is the large image that is seen at the top of your channel page. Once uploaded, YouTube will show examples of how the image will be displayed on the website, a TV, or a mobile device.
Your channel description or “About” section is what describes who you are. Be sure to set the channel name and add some links as well.
