I like the background i just don't like the font u used which one is that? maybe use a Sylfaen!
nice how did you make it?
You don't even need to search a youtube background template. you can make it your own using screenshots of your youtube channel, scrolling down and adding them together to make one image. That's what i've done anyway. You can align them up vertically by changing to opacity to get them to overlap accurately. Then all you need to do is draw boxes over the modules that you see on your page, and add designs.
This one looks pretty basic though
I already started one, but I also created my own background, and a background for another channel that is helping to promote a forum. The one I have up now isn't the best, but i'm not complaining because it's not the worst i've seen either. It takes time to make a decent one.
Edit: lol that video is horrible, don't go download addons and extensions for no reason. They will slow down your browsing experience. Just use the print screen method to capture the screen or the snipping tool. what I do, is take a screen shot of the page, scroll down just a tad, take another screen shot, and repeat until you get to the bottom of the page. It usually only takes 3 images. Import to photoshop, change the canvas size (vertical dimensions) to around 2000px, and arrange them accordingly to the way they looked on the page. Change the opacity so you can align the images accurately by overlapping a specific part on the page, I usually use the text as my reference. Cut off the web browser parts, so you only have the image of the web page on the tops and bottoms of each imported image, and you end up with the same thing.
Sure it takes a while, but you're going to be editing it in your favorite image editing program anyway, and it's already open for you if you just do everything in the program itself.

But you know what I meant right? Like get a screenshot of it and then basically cut what you dont need for the actual template.
