How to Use a YouTube Background Template Using Paint
Use a custom YouTube background template you create with Microsoft Paint to customize your YouTube channel without having to download and install third-party software onto your computer. YouTube automatically shrinks or enlarges images you upload as background images to fit the dimensions of your channel, which allows you to focus on the quality of your background image, rather than getting its size just right.
