1ngram Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Maybe this is the wrong place for this but I can't see anywhere better. I'm an "anonymous" on YouTube. I like to watch good model railway videos like OOBill and Chadwick and I'd like to put a moniker when I make comments. But I can't see how to do it. The information tells me to "JOIN" and that this button is beside "Subscribe*. I've subscribed to both but I remain anonymous. If I look at, say, Sam's Trains there is a JOIN button. It seems that the join button exists only on sites which charge money to join. Yet other people have their monikers when they comment on free sites like Chadwick. How did they do that? Did they join a paying site and then find that this automatically allowed them a name to make comments under in another free site as well. Clarification if how I go from being anonymous to having my monikers displayed in comments on such free sites would be welcome. Help! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Wellyboots Posted March 23, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2021 I think it would be helpful if you could explain what you mean by "anonymous"; does it mean that you are not signed in to YouTube? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ngram Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 When I make a comment that's who it says us making it. What do you mean signed in to YouTube? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean signed in to YouTube? Do you have a YouTube / Google account as you will need to be signed in to leave comments with your username. It's like RMWeb, you need to have an account and need to be signed in to create topics and reply to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungrange Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 11 minutes ago, 1ngram said: What do you mean signed in to YouTube? You can have a YouTube login, which when you sign up will normally be linked to a Google e-mail account. You should be able to log in, or set up a YouTube account if you don't have one up in the top right of the screen. I think your YouTube account name should then appear when you comment on a video.
