Question

I've turned the "customize the layout of your channel" button under the cog and the feature is turned on. However, when I add the links, they still do not all appear and the one that does is broken. What can I do?

How do I put pictures instead of link titles?

Community Answer

When you put the link title (for example, Instagram), YouTube will automatically generate the social media icon. You can't add other kinds of photos though.
