Confirmation Email
If you've just joined YouTube, the confirmation link is included in the "Welcome" email you'll receive after signing up. If you were already a member of YouTube and are now confirming your email, you'll receive a separate confirmation email. Confirming your email address is required to perform many actions on YouTube, such as uploading videos and posting comments.

If you don't receive either the welcome or confirmation email when you expect to, check in your email client's spam folder. Check if you've allowed to receive e-mails from youtube.com on your phone. If you still haven't received it after several hours, you can try confirming your email again with a different email address. To request a confirmation email again, click **Upload** after signing in.
