first look for you youtube account name at the top right corner with a little arrow pointing down.

you will see your icon and under it "change" click on change. a thing will pop up. click browse and your documents will come up. click on the thing you want your icon to be and click open.

then go to profile setup and there are an 'change picture' options. browse your file, upload and you're done. i think 100x100 resolution is the best. i dont think this link may works but try? link
