| Can't figure out how to comment (haven't signed in for a couple of years) | mikenmike0001 | 12/07/04 22:56 | I tried to comment on a video and there's a box below this Youtube video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QibG6gTTa38 That says, enter response here, and so I typed away, and then I tried to look for a submit button but couldn't find one, so I ho |

However- in your case I personally cannot see how that can be true given that you are able to "check [ |
| Re: Can't figure out how to comment (haven't signed in for a couple of years) | mikenmike0001 | 12/07/05 14:24 | Hi The Lady From Uncle, From the top right, I see my e-mail address displayed with an arrow to the right of it, that when you click it, it expands to the options like My Channel Video Manager Subscriptions Inbox Settings Switch Account Log Out I saw |

You choose your own YouTube username, and you can participate in the community using that name. YouTube › Help articles › Sign up for YouTube › I already ha |
| Re: Can't figure out how to comment (haven't signed in for a couple of years) | mikenmike0001 | 12/07/05 15:08 | Hi JDoors, Maybe that's the reason why I'm not able to comment on YouTube videos currently. The strange thing is that I thought I have a username already (ex. mikenmike0001 which is displayed in this Google Forums under my Google Account). That can |

And YouTube is (since 2006) Google's premier video sharing fac |

If you have or upgrade your account to a Google+ account, then you can use your Google+ name! It is supposed to be your real name, and you can use a Google+ account exactly like a YouTube "channel."

| Re: Can't figure out how to comment (haven't signed in for a couple of years) | mikenmike0001 | 12/07/05 16:50 | I'm going to have to reference this a few times before I understand it since I don't have Google+. But as an update, I was able to create the YouTube Channel user name and now it appears that I am able to post comments, which I tried one from the OP |

As a sort of workaround, you can supply the email address in the 'forgot username' form and they can tell |
| Re: Can't figure out how to comment (haven't signed in for a couple of years) | The Lady From Uncle | 12/07/06 1:45 | So the actual answer to the OP was that you couldn't post a comment because you were not logged into a YouTube channel but into a Google account (as evidenced by the fact that you had an email address appear up top right where someone with a YouTube |
