2. Click your profile icon. It's in the top-right corner of the YouTube home page. A drop-down menu will appear.

• I changed my language and it took me to a blank page. Nothing is happening. What happened?

  

  It may have just glitched out, try to refresh the page. If you can't, check your anti-virus software (if you don't have one, get one ASAP because this might be a symptom of a virus). It could be possible it's just lagging though, if refreshing doesn't help, close out the page (and any others you may have open) and start over.

• How do I change my YouTube settings to English?

  

  Click Choose Your Language. Then you should refresh the page.

• YouTube switched from English to Spanish, why?

  

  You may have changed the language. Check to see if you did this first. If you didn't change the language earlier, try going on the support page.
