There are a few steps involved, but once you learn them, you will be on your way to changing your YouTube name in no time! To start, find the settings icon on the right side of your screen. Click on this button to access your channel&#8217;s details. Under the channel&#8217;s name, click on the Edit button and change the name to whatever you wish. Once you have made your change, click Save.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_YouTube_username\"><\/span>Changing your YouTube username<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing your YouTube username can be difficult if you&#8217;ve already changed it three times within the past 90 days. However, it&#8217;s not impossible. Depending on your objectives, you might want to change your YouTube username if you&#8217;re interested in a different channel name or are trying to increase your brand&#8217;s exposure. In such a case, you&#8217;ll need to wait at least 90 days. Changing your channel name is possible if you&#8217;ve reached the three-change-limit on YouTube, but it may be worth it to wait 90 days before making any changes.<\/p>\n<p>If you have multiple YouTube channels, you can change the name of only one of them. To change your YouTube username, first open the YouTube app and navigate to &#8220;Your channel&#8221; (if you have multiple channels). Next, click on the button labeled &#8220;EDIT CHANNEL&#8221; located next to &#8220;MANAGE VIDEOS.&#8221; This will take you to the username editor. Once you&#8217;ve completed this, click the checkmark at the top-right corner of the editor to save the new name.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_YouTube_channel_name\"><\/span>Changing your YouTube channel name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing your YouTube channel name is a good way to make your video channel more appealing to viewers. But before you decide to make this move, it is important to analyze the implications. After all, the name you choose is going to be linked to your YouTube channel, and the name you choose may affect your growth and popularity. If you&#8217;re not yet a big YouTube channel, you may want to consider changing it. But you must know that this step might have negative consequences.<\/p>\n<p>The first step to changing your YouTube channel name is to separate your Google account from your YouTube account. If you use both accounts, the name you use for YouTube will not change. Also, if you use both, the name you use for your Google account will remain. If you have a brand account, you will need to change it to be different from your YouTube name. This will ensure that your name is different from anyone else&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_YouTube_username_without_affecting_your_Google_account\"><\/span>Changing your YouTube username without affecting your Google account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can change your YouTube username without affecting your Google account, or you can change the channel name and photo without affecting your Gmail account. Changing the name and photo only affects your YouTube account. This way, you can keep your content separate from other Google services, such as Gmail and Docs. Changing your YouTube username will remove the verified badge, but it won&#8217;t affect the custom URL you use to link to your channel. You can still use the official channel music note.<\/p>\n<p>Changing your YouTube name without affecting your Google account is possible for both desktop and mobile devices. To change your YouTube username, go to your profile on Google+ and click the &#8220;Edit&#8221; icon. Select the new name and then tap the &#8220;Save&#8221; button. The name will be updated and it may take several minutes to appear. Once it&#8217;s ready, tap OK. On Android, your YouTube channel name appears in your profile picture.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_YouTube_channel_name_without_affecting_your_Gmail_account\"><\/span>Changing your YouTube channel name without affecting your Gmail account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing your YouTube channel name is not as difficult as it may seem. However, you have to take note of a few things. If you want to change the name of your channel without affecting your Gmail account, you must backup your existing URL first. Since the name of your YouTube channel is linked to your Gmail account, you must keep this in mind while changing the name of your YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<p>If you wish to change the name of your channel without affecting your Google account, you need to go to the management area in the backend of the YouTube Creator Studio to change your profile picture. Otherwise, your profile picture will remain a plain outline of a person. By reversing the steps above, you will be able to change the name of your YouTube channel without having to worry about your Gmail identity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Your YouTube Name Without Affecting Your Gmail Or Google Accounts In this article, we will show you how to change your YouTube name without affecting your Gmail or Google accounts.
