If you’re a YouTube user, there’s a good chance that you’ve changed your channel name at some point in your life. Whether it was because someone recommended it or because you just felt like it, changing your channel name can be a fun way to add personality and individuality to your videos. Here are five tips on how to change your YouTube channel name:
- Type in the new name into the search bar on the top of the page and hit enter.
- If you have multiple channels, make sure to select which one you want to change to when you create your new account.
- If you’re creating a new account, be sure to choose “YouTube” as your channel name when prompted. This will ensure that all of your videos are under the “YouTube” banner and not any other channels’ banners.
- If you’ve already changed your channel name, make sure to hit “update my account” on the top right corner of the page and update all of your information including your new channel name if necessary. You can also hit “delete my account” if you no longer want to use that specific YouTube username or if you’ve decided that another username is more fitting for your brand or personality than the one that was provided by YouTube.
