Re: YouTube Now Hosts Your Channel Background Image

Sorafan206

I like this idea and all, but why can't you guys make it where we can
have url images AND upload it from our computers? That's an even
BETTER idea.

also, I have a problem with it. My background is NOT showing up on no
matter what image I upload.

personally, I liked it way better when it was just the url.
