Legacy YouTube URLs are the first type of URL on YouTube. They used to be required for all YouTube channels, but are now obsolete. This is the primary link to your YouTube channel. A legacy URL has a few advantages over ID-based URLs, which are randomly generated strings of 24 characters. Obtain a legacy YouTube URL before it&#8217;s too late!<\/p>\n<p>One of the main benefits of using a legacy URL is the fact that you can avoid the need to change your username. You can keep your legacy username if you want to use it as the link to your YouTube channel. You can still change the name of your channel, but you won&#8217;t be able to change your legacy URL. Obtaining a custom YouTube URL will give you the flexibility to change your channel name without the hassle of a new one.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Obtain_a_custom_youtube_channel_URL\"><\/span>Obtain a custom youtube channel URL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been wondering how to obtain a custom YouTube channel URL, keep reading.

Then, visit the YouTube settings page.<\/p>\n<p>A custom YouTube channel URL is essentially a personalized version of the username or display name you use to identify your channel. However, you must note that these custom URLs are not completely custom, and are indistinguishable from channel URLs. However, you can change the display name to a custom URL, which is more useful for building a community and making your content more accessible. However, you need to wait a few hours until this feature becomes available on YouTube.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_a_custom_youtube_channel_URL\"><\/span>Change a custom youtube channel URL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to change the URL of your YouTube channel, you need to have a Google account.
