In this tutorial you will learn how to change your YouTube username as well as your YouTube profile URL. There are a few things that you need to know before you start trying to change your YouTube Username.<\/p>\n

\n
• This requires you to have a Google+ profile<\/li>\n
• If you have linked your Google+ and YouTube profiles in the past 14 days YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CHANGE YOUR NAME TO ONE WORD.<\/li>\n
• If you HAVE LINKED YOUR GOOGLE+ AND YOUTUBE PROFILES OVER 14 DAYS AGO YOU WILL NOT\u00a0BE ABLE TO CHANGE YOUR USERNAME TO ONE WORD.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
• When you change your YouTube username it will show up as that name from now on.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  One other point that I want you to understand is that if you have already built your channel up, and already have brand\/channel recognition it is NOT a good idea to change your name.<\/p>\n

  Here are the steps you need to follow to change your YouTube username<\/em><\/p>\n

  1.) Once you are logged into your YouTube channel, click on your profile image\/name in the upper right hand corner. Once you do this you will see a few different options. Click on YouTube Settings.<\/p>\n\n

  2.) Once under YouTube settings you may see a few different things.<\/p>\n

  If you have not connected your YouTube Channel to your Google+ profile you will see a link that says “Connect Channel With Google+”<\/p>\n\n

  If this is the case and you have not linked the 2 accounts just click on that link and then it will ask you what you want your name to be. Whatever you type in here will be your Google+ name as well as your YouTube channel’s name. This name can be either one or two words.<\/p>\n

  If you have connected your YouTube channel to Google+ you will see your channel name and then a link that says “Edit on Google+”<\/p>\n\n

  3.) Click on the “Edit on Google+” link. This will then take you over to your Google+ profile page.<\/p>\n

  4.) Once you are on your Google+ profile page you can click on your username at the tope of the page to change your name.<\/p>\n\n

  5.) When you have clicked on your username a box will then come up asking you to type in what you want your new username to be. THIS WILL BE YOUR GOOGLE+ PROFILE NAME AND YOUTUBE CHANNEL NAME.<\/span><\/p>\n\n Again, as I already have stated earlier in this article. If you have not connected your Google+ and Youtube accounts you will be able to create a One or Two word username. If you have connected the two accounts in the past 14 days you can create a One or Two word username. If however, you linked your YouTube and Google+ accounts longer than 14 days ago you will only be able to create a ONE WORD USERNAME. <\/span>\n

   <\/p>\n

  6.) Once you have typed your username in the box click on the blue save button.<\/p>\n

  You have just changed your YouTube and Google+ usernames!<\/p>\n
