YouTube has launched a new troubleshooting tool designed to help creators who suspect their accounts have been compromised. 

The platform recognises the anxiety and damages caused when an account is hacked, and this new feature aims to provide an immediate, structured approach to regaining control.

The newly introduced support assistant is the first step for creators who believe their channel has been hacked. This assistant will guide them through securing their Google login, as YouTube channels are typically linked to Google accounts. 

By securing the login, creators can prevent further unauthorised access. Following this, the assistant will help in reversing any changes made by the hacker, such as altering profile information, email settings, or unauthorised uploads.

Creators who are eligible for this service will see the option to recover a hacked channel within the YouTube Help Centre. The tool is designed to be intuitive, leading users through a series of questions about their channel to ensure all necessary steps are taken to secure it. 

This process includes verifying the channel’s ownership, resetting passwords, and checking for suspicious activity or unauthorised content.

Currently, this new tool is available only in English, limiting its accessibility to those who access the Help Centre in that language. 

Again, certain features of the tool are not yet available to all users. However, YouTube says it will expand the tool’s availability to creators worldwide in the near future.

For those who may not find the tool effective or are unable to access it, YouTube has provided alternative support options. Creators can still seek help by reaching out to @TeamYouTube on X (formerly Twitter), where a support team is available to assist with recovery efforts.

Online threats are increasing and tools like these are highly important in ensuring that creators can maintain control over their channels and continue to produce content without interruption.
