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.
Set up a custom URL for your channel
Before you start: Keep in mind that you can't change a custom URL after creation, including adjustments to the capitalization, accents, or diacritics.
- Sign in with YouTube.
- Go to your advanced account settings by clicking your icon in the top right > Settings or.
Then click Advanced under your account name.
- Under "Channel settings," select the link next to You're eligible for a custom URL. You'll only see this link if your channel is eligible.
- In the "Get a custom URL" box, you'll see the custom URL(s) you've been approved for. You can't change the part in the gray box, but you may need to add a few letters or numbers to make the URL unique to you.
- Carefully read and understand the "Custom URL Terms of Use" and select the box to agree to them, then click Change URL.
- Once a custom URL has been approved, you can't request to change it, so make sure this is the custom URL you want before clicking Confirm choice.
Once you have a custom URL, your audience can reach your channel by using that custom URL (e.g., youtube.com/yourcustomname, which will take viewers to your channel homepage).
