Change YouTube accounts on iMovie

I verified my YouTube account in iMovie and uploaded a video. Now I need to upload to a different YouTube account. How does one get iMovie to forget the previous YouTube account?

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.15

Why would Apple think it can manage my YouTube account for me, and is this a scam? I first saw this 3 years ago. (iMovie 10.1.11, Macbook Pro running High Sierra 10.13.6 ... but when first happened on lower versions of both)

Why does creating a new User Account sometimes enable FCP and iMovie to work? Someone on the iMovie forum has eventually discovered that the only way to make iMovie work is to create a new user account. I know that this is a known cure for certain problems but why does it work and is there any way to enable their own normal account?

Can't directly upload iMovie to Youtube after Big Sur update So before Big Sur, I was able to log into my youtube account via iMovie and upload directly to youtube my edited video. After the update, I only get a option to youtube/facebook and its only a save option. Where i have to save to desktop and then upload it manually to youtube. Was the option removed where I can upload directly to Youtube from iMovie or has the option moved to a different location? Thanks

I have never had to deal with that issue.

I would try sharing the movie to your desktop, then signing in to You Tube in your second account. Drag your video into You Tube's upload window. See if that works.
