G: Yes, there is a way to let someone access and edit your YouTube videos without giving them your login and password — by using YouTube Studio’s permissions via a Brand Account or a YouTube channel linked to a Google account with permissions.

Here’s how:

Option 1: Use a Brand Account (best method for shared access)

1. Check if your channel is a Brand Account:

   • Go to https://myaccount.google.com/brandaccounts
   • If your channel isn’t already a Brand Account, you’ll need to move it to one. (Let me know if you need steps for that — it’s a bit involved but doable.)

2. Add a Manager to the Brand Account:

   • Go to https://myaccount.google.com/brandaccounts
   • Click your channel.
   • Go to "Manage permissions".
   • Click the invite icon and enter their email.
   • Assign them the role of Manager (can do almost everything, including editing/uploading videos, but can’t delete the channel or manage permissions).
   • They’ll get an email invitation. Once accepted, they can access and manage the channel via YouTube Studio.

Option 2: Use YouTube Studio Permissions (for YouTube Studio users with a personal channel)

If you don’t have a Brand Account, and don’t want to switch, you can still use YouTube Studio’s Role permissions:

1. Go to YouTube Studio
2. Click Settings (bottom left)
3. Click Permissions
4. Click Invite
5. Enter the user’s email address (they’ll need a Google account)
6. Choose a role:
   • Editor: Can edit everything but can't delete the channel or manage permissions.
   • Editor (limited): Can’t see revenue data.
7. They accept the invite, and then can access your channel via their own login.

Bonus Tip:

If your helper prefers to download the footage and work offline, you could upload unlisted videos and share them via Drive or Dropbox instead — but if you want them editing directly in YouTube, one of the options above is better.

Let me know if your current channel isn’t a Brand Account — the migration process is worth walking through carefully.
