SUMMARY
- Google launches an AI-powered tool to assist YouTube creators in recovering hacked accounts.
- The tool is easy to use and can be accessed through the YouTube Help Center.
- Initially available in English to select users, with plans for wider access in the future.
YouTube has introduced a new AI tool to help users recover accounts that have been hacked. Called a “troubleshooting tool,” it can be found on Google’s support page and accessed via the YouTube Help Center. Announced on August 21, this support assistant helps affected users secure their login and recover their accounts as the first step after a hack.
Currently, this AI assistant is available only in English and is limited to a select group of creators. YouTube plans to expand access to this feature soon. Eligible users can find the AI troubleshooting tool in the YouTube Help Center, where they’ll be guided through a series of questions to secure their Google login and reverse any unauthorized changes made to their channel.
This feature is designed to be straightforward, guiding you step by step through the recovery process. The tool begins by helping you secure your Google login, which is essential for regaining control of your account. After that, it assists in reversing any changes the hacker may have made, such as altering your channel’s name or deleting content.
For those users who don’t have immediate access to the tool, YouTube recommends contacting their support team via social media. A quick message to @TeamYouTube on X (formerly Twitter) can still connect you with the help you need. You can also contact their official support website which also helps you to solve problemsÂ
This AI tool is part of YouTube’s larger initiative to ensure the safety and security of its community. As hacking tactics become increasingly advanced, having strong protection systems is crucial. With this tool, YouTube is making significant progress in helping creators recover from hacks quickly and with minimal stress.
