The key piece to getting your Adori account set up with YouTube is making sure the connection is made just right.

If you'd like to move a channel to a Brand account, we highly recommend reading through YouTube's documentation for a full understanding of the process. In short, you'll want to

Once you move to a brand account, you'll want to reinstate permissions on your channel, as permission between Studio and Brand are not interchangeable.
