If you&#8217;ve created a channel on YouTube and have forgotten the URL, this article will explain the steps to find it. In this article, we&#8217;ll also talk about how to change or claim your URL. After you have found your YouTube URL, you&#8217;ll be able to use it to find videos and other content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Custom_URLs\"><\/span>Custom URLs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to modify the YouTube channel URL, you can do so with Google&#8217;s help. Google offers free tutorials and advice every week for creating and maintaining custom YouTube URLs. To get started, head to Google&#8217;s YouTube channel customization page. The Basic Info tab will display your current URL and a box with &#8216;Custom URL&#8217; in it. Click on the box and input your desired custom URL. The URL will then be published to your YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<p>Before attempting to change your YouTube channel URL, it is best to plan ahead. YouTube often changes its channel URL system, so it is best to read the Terms of Service carefully before moving forward. Also, you should define the category of your video. If it&#8217;s a family-friendly video, you can use a &#8220;family&#8221; category. Otherwise, choose &#8220;kids&#8221; if you&#8217;re creating content for children.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube will notify you if it has changed your custom URL. If you have deleted your Google account, your URL may not be available. If you&#8217;re unsure, it&#8217;s best to wait a few days before claiming a new one. If it&#8217;s still unavailable, you can try using the &#8216;custom&#8217; option again by following the steps above. However, don&#8217;t expect to be able to change the URL after that.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_a_custom_URL\"><\/span>Changing a custom URL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you own a YouTube channel, you may be wondering how to change your channel&#8217;s URL. It is easy to change the default URL of your channel, but many people struggle to remember it. If you want to make your YouTube channel look more professional and easier to remember, changing your URL is a great way to do so. Follow these steps to change your YouTube channel URL. And don&#8217;t forget to share the URL on social media!<\/p>\n<p>First, you must deactivate your old custom URL. You can do this by visiting your YouTube Studio, located in the top right corner of the YouTube website. Click here to access the YouTube Studio. Once you&#8217;re in the Studio, click the &#8220;Change custom URL&#8221; button and follow the steps. The URL you&#8217;ve selected should be short and easy to remember. It should be short and memorable enough for viewers to remember.<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve completed the necessary steps, the next step is to change the link of your YouTube channel. You can do this once per account, but you must confirm the change by clicking on the link in the confirmation email. Make sure your account is clean, meaning no strikes against the community rules. This way, it will be easier for people to find your content on YouTube. This procedure should not take too long. You will be able to customize your URL and use it for your advertising needs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Claiming_a_custom_URL\"><\/span>Claiming a custom URL<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a number of benefits to claiming a custom YouTube channel URL. These URLs are easily memorable and are associated with the channel name. Claiming a custom URL means that you will not have to use an already taken URL. If you wish to claim a custom URL, you must first be a registered YouTube user. There are several ways to get a custom YouTube channel URL, including applying for one from Google, which requires you to have an account and upload a profile picture.<\/p>\n<p>First, you must sign in to YouTube. If you haven&#8217;t already done so, log into your account and click on the logo of your channel. Next, navigate to the Advanced settings page of your channel. Select the link next to &#8220;You&#8217;re eligible for a custom URL.&#8221; Click on the link that says &#8220;Choose a URL&#8221;. You can also add extra letters to make your URL unique. Finally, you must agree to the Custom URL Terms of Use.<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit to claiming a custom YouTube channel URL is that it is easier to remember than the default URL. A custom URL is shorter, easier to remember, and more memorable. Your viewers will be more likely to share and remember it, which will boost your chances of getting more subscribers. Claiming a custom YouTube channel URL is easy and will help you create a consistent identity across all Google products. It&#8217;s free to apply for a custom URL, and the process only takes a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"230\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CMrv_D78oxY\" width=\"412\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Find Your YouTube Channel URL It is easy to find your YouTube channel url, but many people don&#8217;t realize it.
