You can copy the URL from the sharing menu and paste it into social networks. To change your URL, go to the sharing menu and click &#8220;Change URL.&#8221; From the left menu, select &#8220;Change URL.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Custom_URL_on_YouTube\"><\/span>Custom URL on YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How do I change my Custom URL on YouTube? YouTube allows you to change it three times a year, but you cannot edit it. Fortunately, there are some solutions to this problem. One of them is to use a URL shortener. This service will shorten your links to a short, easy-to-remember URL. The next step is to choose your new Custom URL. Once you have selected it, follow the steps below.<\/p>\n<p>After deciding to create a custom URL, go to your account settings. Click on Advanced. Click on Custom URL. You will see a list of options, including your name and channel. To make changes, click on &#8220;Custom URL&#8221;. Once you&#8217;re on the page, click the &#8220;Change&#8221; button and then select Change.&#8221; Your new URL will appear in the box below. Make sure you enter your name and username correctly.<\/p>\n<p>You should plan ahead for your Custom URL on YouTube. Keep in mind that YouTube will be changing its channel URL system more often. First, make sure you read the YouTube Custom URL Terms of Use. If you agree to them, click the checkbox to proceed. Next, define your video category. If your video is for kids, choose the appropriate category. In the end, make sure your Custom URL is easy to remember. And don&#8217;t forget to update your profile picture.<\/p>\n<p>Having a Custom URL on YouTube can help your video promotion efforts. It is more convenient to share your videos with friends and search for the content on YouTube. Custom URLs will not replace the ID-based or Legacy URLs. However, if you choose the right one, you&#8217;ll have more control over the name and channel. You can also add timestamps to your URLs to make it more appealing to searchers.<\/p>\n<p>In order to add your Custom URL to YouTube, you need to be a YouTube Partner. Custom URLs are available for YouTube video channels and can be added to the video&#8217;s description. You can also create a card containing links to other videos on your channel. Once you&#8217;ve signed up, make sure to agree to the YouTube Partner Program&#8217;s Terms of Use to ensure your custom URL is not removed. You can choose to add a link to your video or add an image.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_custom_URL_to_your_YouTube_channel\"><\/span>Adding a custom URL to your YouTube channel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a custom URL to your YouTube account is possible as long as your account has been active for 30 days. You must also have uploaded a profile picture and a channel banner. If you have just created a Google account, you need to gain followers and add a new channel icon before you can change your custom URL. It is important to note that YouTube reserves the right to reclaim your custom URL if it is associated with an old Google account.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to add a custom URL to your YouTube channel in the future, you will have to go into the advanced settings menu of your YouTube account. From here, you can change your channel&#8217;s URL based on your display name, linked website, or website URL. YouTube allows you to change your vanity URL three times a year. The last time you changed your custom URL was on October 1, 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have done this, you should check out your YouTube account. In the left menu, click on Customization Basic info. There, you will find your Custom URL. The Custom URL will appear. Click on the URL and confirm that it is unique. Your custom URL will take a few days to become active, so make sure it is unique! If you want to deactivate your custom URL, you can click on &#8220;deactivate&#8221; to return to the default URL.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to improve your content&#8217;s search engine visibility is to use keywords in the titles and descriptions of your videos. Search engines like Google bots can&#8217;t read blog posts or website articles, so making sure you use keywords in your titles and descriptions will increase your chances of being found by YouTube crawlers. Also, consider using Google Adwords to determine what keywords people are searching for and target those videos with high search volume but low competition.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"511\" height=\"286\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bUcO3atR-8k\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Change My YouTube URL 2022?
