YouTube Brand Account Owners vs Managers

YouTube brand accounts are different from personal YouTube accounts in that you can add owners and managers to the account. Owners can add and remove managers, remove listings, edit the business information, manage all the videos, and respond to reviews. Managers can do all those things except add and remove managers and remove listings. Individuals classified as communication managers can only respond to reviews and do a few other lesser managerial duties.
