This short and sweet video is simply to show you where and how to create a custom YouTube channel URL/link.
If your channel is eligible, you can give fans an easy-to-remember web address, called a custom URL/link, for your YouTube channel. This is called a custom URL and looks like youtube.com/1pcuser and youtube.com/c/1pcuser.
You can choose a custom URL based on things like your display name, your YouTube username, any current vanity URLs that you have, or the name of your linked website (all subject to availability).
When sharing your custom URL, you can change its capitalization and accents any way you want. For example, both youtube.com/c/yourcustomname and youtube.com/c/YourCustómNámé would send viewers to the same channel.
You can't change a custom URL after creation. However, you can remove the custom URL from your channel and claim a new one if you want to change it.
NOTE: When you claim a custom URL on YouTube, you no longer also get a Google+ URL.
You can claim a custom URL if you meet the general eligibility requirements. Follow the steps below to set it up.
To create a custom URL for your channel, your account needs to:
- Have 100 or more subscribers
- Be at least 30 days old
- Have an uploaded photo as channel icon
- Have uploaded channel art
In general, a YouTube channel may only have one (1) custom URL and custom URLs cannot be transferred or assigned to anyone.
This is the standard URL that all YouTube channels use. It uses your unique channel ID, which are the numbers and letters at the end of the URL.
A custom URL is a shorter, easy-to-remember URL that you can share with your audience. Custom URLs are assigned to qualifying channels and can be based on your current display name, your legacy username, or your linked, verified web domain.
If you enter your custom URL in an abbreviated format (like youtube.com/1pcuser vs. the full URL youtube.com/c/1pcuser), the URL will immediately resolve to your ID-based URL or your legacy username URL, if you have one (since YouTube treats legacy username URLs as your primary channel URL).
You can check if you've claimed a custom URL in your advanced account settings
- Legacy username URL
Example: youtube.com/user/1pcuser
Depending on when your channel was created, it may have a username. Usernames are no longer required for channels today, but you can still use this URL to direct to your channel — even if your channel name has changed since you chose your username. Existing usernames can't be changed.
