You can now choose your YouTube handle

Hi Nirupam Banerjee, You can now choose your channel's handle. As a reminder, in most cases, if you already have a personalised URL for your channel, we've reserved this for you as your handle. If you're happy with that handle then you're all set. If you want a different handle from the one that we reserved, you can change it. If you don't already have a personalised URL today, you'll also be able to choose a handle. Keep in mind that handles are unique to each channel, so once a handle has been chosen, it can't be selected by anyone else. CHOOSE A HANDLE In the future, your handle will be how people mention you in comments, Community posts and more.

Introducing: YouTube Handles

Hi Nirupam Banerjee, We're writing to let you know that over the coming weeks YouTube will be introducing handles to make it easier for members of the community to find and connect with each other. Your handle will be unique to your channel and will be how people mention you in comments, community posts and more. Here's what you need to know: We're gradually rolling out the ability to choose a handle for all channels over the coming weeks, and you will receive another email and a notification in YouTube Studio when you're able to choose yours. In most cases, if you already have a personalised URL for your channel, we've reserved this for you as your handle. If you want a different handle from the one that we've reserved, you can change it. If you don't already have a personalised URL today, you'll also be able to choose a handle for your channel. Starting on 14 November 2022, if you haven't yet selected a handle for your channel, YouTube will automatically assign you a handle, which you can change in YouTube Studio if you'd like to. In the meantime, learn more about handles and all the things that you'll be able to do with them: LEARN MORE Sincerely, The YouTube team You received this mandatory email service announcement to update you about important changes to your YouTube channel or account. © 2022 Google LLC d/b/a YouTube, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066
