If you’ve been getting “You Already Have an AdSense account” message while trying to connect AdSense to your YouTube channel, here is how you can fix it.

A friend of mine ran into this exact issue. Every time he tried linking his YouTube to AdSense, he’d get an email saying, “You already have an AdSense Account.” The problem was, he had no idea which email it was linked to because it was an old account he couldn’t access anymore.

To solve this, here’s what you can do. Open your Chrome browser and go to the link provided below. You’ll see a chat option on the page. Share your YouTube channel URL and explain your issue in the chat. Start the chat session and make sure you’re logged in with the same email you’re using for YouTube. Have your identity documents ready—my friend used his driver’s license for verification.

Keep in mind, though, this chat support feature might not be available to everyone. If you’re redirected to a different page then there’s an alternative support link you can try. If you still can’t reach YouTube support, there’s another step you can take. Open your YouTube account, click on your profile picture, and select “Send feedback.” You can also do this inside YouTube Studio. Capture screenshots if needed, explain your issue in detail, and submit it. YouTube will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

My friend managed to resolve the issue with these steps, and his account is now monetized. It took a couple of days, but it was worth it.

So, if you’re dealing with the “You already have an AdSense account” problem, give these methods a try. All the best. Thank you.
