You can now choose your YouTube handle

Thursday, October 13, 2022

YouTube is introducing handles to make it easier for people to find and connect with each other.

Hi Footballmoment,

You can now choose your channel's handle.

As a reminder, in most cases, if you already have a personalized URL for your channel, we've reserved this for you as your handle. If you're happy with that handle then you're all set. If you want a different handle from the one we reserved, you can change it. If you don't already have a personalized URL today, you'll also be able to choose a handle. Keep in mind that handles are unique to each channel, so once a handle has been chosen, it can't be selected by anyone else.

CHOOSE A HANDLE

In the future, your handle will be how people mention you in comments, Community posts, and more.

Sincerely,
The YouTube team
