Change The Name Of Your YouTube Channel
YouTube creators can now change the name of their channel without having to change their Google account name. Creators can update their channel name and picture but the updates will only be visible on YouTube. Previously, if a YouTube creator wanted to change the name of their channel they had to change the name that appeared in all Google services as well. Creators can now use one name for their YouTube channel and a different name for messages sent from their Gmail account.
Here's how to quickly alter a YouTube
channel's name.
1.How to Change a YouTube Channel's
Name
YouTube creators may change the name of their channel without changing their Google account name if they have both personal and brand accounts. These adjustments can be made using either the YouTube Studio desktop application or the YouTube smartphone app. Changing the name of a YouTube channel on a desktop:
- To use YouTube Studio, you must first log in.
- Pick Customization and then Basic details from the left-hand menu.
- To change the name of your channel, go to Edit.
- Fill in the blanks with your new channel's definition.
- Press the Publish button.
Changing the name of a YouTube channel on a mobile device:
- Open the YouTube app on your phone.
- Select your profile photo.
- Choose a channel by tapping it.
- Tap Settings in the upper right-hand corner of your channel tab.
- Tap Edit next to your name.
- Change the name of your channel and click the tick in the corner.
Surprisingly, YouTube's support page
for handling a channel's basic information has yet to be modified to show that
the name can be changed without affecting the Google account's name. A
channel's name can be updated three times every 90 days, according to the
support page. That probably still exists so developers can keep that in
mind if they're trying out new channel names.
2. An Important Note for YouTube
Channels that Have Been Verified
Creators of verified YouTube channels should be mindful that if they change the name of their channel, they will lose their checkmark. This is most likely done to discourage YouTube channels from imitating others. If a channel could change their name to "CNN" and keep their verified checkmark, it would be simple to put out a fake news storey that looked legitimate. Creators may, however, change the name of their channel and reclaim their checkmark by reapplying for it. That could take some time, so weigh the risks before proceeding with a name change.
3. How to Change the URL of a YouTube
Channel
The URL of a YouTube channel does not
change when the channel's name is changed. A different collection of procedures
must be followed for this. Users can create a "custom" URL for their
channel, which they can alter up to three times per year. It's customary in the
sense that YouTube would offer creators the option of selecting from a list of
suggested URLs. YouTube aims to discourage developers from making potentially
deceptive URLs, so the suggestions are closely focused on the channel's name.
