If you'd like to change the custom URL
of your YouTube channel, then stay tuned.
Watch this video all the way to the end
as I show you how.
Hi, there, David Walsh here once again
from davidwalshonline.com,
your place to grow your business using YouTube.
In this video, I'm gonna show you
how you can change the custom URL of your YouTube channel.
But before I do, if you are brand-new to this channel
make sure to hit the subscribe button
and also the notification bell
to be notified every time we upload a brand new video
to this channel every Tuesday.
So you want to change the custom URL of your channel,
maybe you've changed the name of your channel
and you want to have a custom URL to reflect that.
Well, this video is gonna help you do that.
It was impossible before but now YouTube
give you the ability to change your URL on your channel.
And you can do so three times in 12 months.
So, if you make a mistake, you can always change it again.
So, to show you how you how you do it,
let's head on over to the trusty computer as I show you how.
Okay, so we have this channel here which is OyunEvim.
It's a Turkish channel, if you're wondering
why it's got a weird name,
so this is a Turkish channel that we have
over 100 subscribers on,
so we have a custom URL here.
So what I want to do is I'm going to swap these names around
and I'm going to have a different
custom URL on this channel.
So the first thing we need to do
is to go into our studio beta and then we want to go down
to Creator Studio Classic on the bottom.
So what we're going to do is we want to go to channel
right here so that we can see we have our custom URL here,
everything is enabled.
Now, if you do not have this on here,
you need to create your custom URL.
There is a separate video on this channel for that.
The link is in the description and on the little card
on the top right hand corner of this video
so you can go over there and watch that video.
So from here, we want to go up to the top
and we're gonna click
on our little YouTube settings cog here
or you can just go straight to youtube.com/account.
So we go to where it says your YouTube channel
and we want to click on this link here, edit on Google.
So this would open up a new tab,
so here is where we want to change our name.
We're gonna both change our name,
so cancel this for a second,
and we're also going to change this custom URL here.
So let's change our name first.
So let's swap these around and we will click okay.
So we want Evim Oyun there.
So the next thing we want to do is edit
our custom URL at the bottom,
so I'm gonna click on the pencil here,
then I go to where my custom URL is and I click on the X.
It asks me if I want to do so, if I'm sure.
Click on continue and then click on okay,
so now we have no custom URL.
Anything like that so we've got nothing there.
Okay, so the next thing we want to do
is go back to our account here
and then we want to click on advanced.
So it says, you're eligible for a custom URL.
Claim it here.
Now we can see here we're got Evim Oyun,
so as soon as we change our name,
we have that available or we can change it around
to OyunEvim, so that's the original one we had,
or we have the option to add a different one
and put something on the end, so if I click this,
click on EvimOyun, I have read and agreed
to the custom URL Terms of Use, click on that,
then click on confirm choice again.
There is our custom URL set up, so if I do c/ as well,
there we go, we have our custom URL all set up.
So there you go, that's how you change the custom URL
of your YouTube channel, and as I said,
you can do so three times in 12 months,
so you're not stuck with it as you used to be before.
Now, if you do wanna change it,
I'd love to know what that is.
Let me know what you're changing it from
and what you're changing it to.
