Add one short line that says what the channel is about. A few words is enough: the name stays the hero.

| Use | Size | Pixels |

| YouTube minimum upload | 16:9 | 2048 × 1152 |
| YouTube recommended | 16:9 | 2560 × 1440 |
| Text-safe area at the minimum size | center | 1235 × 338 |
| This page (2K) | 16:9 | 2848 × 1600 |
| Text-safe area at 2848 × 1600 | center | about 1718 × 470 |
YouTube asks for at least 2048 × 1152 and recommends 2560 × 1440. This page makes 2848 × 1600, above both, as a JPG of well under 6 MB. The safe area is the same share of the frame at any size: about 60% of the width and 29% of the height, centered.
Design for the phone strip first
On a phone only the middle band shows. Put the name and tagline there, big, and let the sides be scenery that can disappear. Check by covering everything outside the center: if the banner still makes sense, it works everywhere.
