Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_your_YouTube_channel_name\"><\/span>Editing your YouTube channel name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not happy with the name of your YouTube channel, it&#8217;s easy to change it. The good news is that you can do so every 90 days. But how do you do it? This article will guide you through the process step-by-step. Follow these steps to change your YouTube channel name. You should note that changing your YouTube channel name will be visible to other YouTube users. However, if you&#8217;re having trouble changing it, you can try a Google search.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re considering the name of your YouTube channel, think about who your target audience is. Often, you&#8217;ll see that popular names already have taken them. If your audience is predominantly male, don&#8217;t use a name that&#8217;s too offensive. Instead, use a name that matches your target audience&#8217;s interests. Make sure your name is memorable and won&#8217;t be offensive. Remember to check the community guidelines for YouTube, and don&#8217;t use an outdated or generic name.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_profile_picture\"><\/span>Changing your profile picture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing your profile picture on YouTube is a simple procedure that most users can perform with their smartphones. To change your profile picture, tap the photo in the top-right corner of the screen. You can also take a new photo with your mobile camera. There are a few steps to customize your profile picture, but you should keep in mind the importance of this step. Here&#8217;s how to change your YouTube profile picture and cover photo.<\/p>\n<p>First, you must have an account on YouTube. After creating an account, go to the profile page and click &#8220;Edit&#8221; at the top right-hand corner. You should see a small blue circle on the picture. Once you have completed these steps, click &#8220;Publish&#8221; in the top-right corner. After you&#8217;ve changed your profile picture, YouTube will redirect you to your channel page. To change your profile picture on YouTube, you should first have an account with the service.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_username\"><\/span>Changing your username<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can change your YouTube username if you want to. In order to do this, first sign into your YouTube account with your login credentials. Next, click on your user image and choose Settings from the drop-down menu. A new window will open, displaying the details of your YouTube account. Here, you can choose a new username or choose another one that you have already registered. You can then change this new username in the YouTube account settings.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have signed in, you can change your name. The current username appears on YouTube as your display name. Changing it will also change the name that appears when you leave a comment on YouTube. Your YouTube username is the same as your Google Account email address, so changing it now will change your YouTube comment name, as well. The good news is that you can change it up to three times before Google restricts your account. If you have recently changed your name, you can change it now.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impact_of_changing_your_name\"><\/span>Impact of changing your name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been thinking about rebranding your YouTube channel but aren&#8217;t sure whether it&#8217;s the best move, consider the impact of changing your name on your channel&#8217;s visibility. While a name change may not affect your channel&#8217;s performance in any significant way, it may put off potential subscribers. Here&#8217;s how to keep subscribers happy and keep them happy. If your old name was &#8220;Epic YouToobz!,&#8221; consider changing it to something more catchy.<\/p>\n<p>Changing your YouTube channel&#8217;s name can have a huge impact on your channel&#8217;s search engine optimization. While your old name may be easy to remember and spell, a new one may be more difficult for viewers to search for. Plus, you&#8217;re limited to changing your channel name a maximum of three times in 90 days, so choose a name before you change it. Once you&#8217;ve decided on a name, make sure you upload the new video under it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Name on YouTube Do you want to change your username or channel name?
