But first of all here are  the list of requirements you need to  have a hundred or more subscribers your  channel has to be at least 30 days old  you have to have an uploaded photo as a  channel icon and you need to upload  channel art as well if you haven't  uploaded a photo as your channel icon or  channel art you can do that by logging  into your YouTube account then clicking  on this circle icon of your channel then  from the drop down menu click on your  channel from here you can click on the  camera icon to change your channel art  also.

Make sure to click on the profile  picture icon to edit what is essentially  your channel icon your profile picture  comes from your Google account so click  on edit and it will direct you there  here you can upload or choose a picture  now this is a very important step the  name you have here is going to be what  Google automatically gives you for your  custom link later on so let's say you  want this channel to be fabulous reviews  then this should be your name here click  on the pencil icon to make these changes  before you are eligible for a custom URL.

How do you change your YouTube channel name


So right here where it says a name we  would change this to fabulous reviews  sometimes you'll have this pop up just  as named so you can put the complete  name you want but other times it'll be  first name and last name and then just  put fabulous under first and reviews  under last because if you leave it as  your actual name then your custom URL  will be your name like in this case  Jeannie Joan now if someone already has  the custom URL of fabulous reviews for  example then later on Google will give  you the option to add more to the custom  URL so you can add a suffix so fabulous  reviews 2024 exam  but you wouldn't be able to edit the  fabulous reviews part so this is  something to consider when you're  thinking about your custom URL and once  you've changed your name you can go back  to YouTube and check your subscriber  amount.

Now this is only one subscriber  but once this reaches 100 then I could  get a custom URL but for now let me show  you where you go to change it and also  I'm going to show you what it looks like  when you can change it as I'm going to  create a custom URL live for you to  watch how to do it so we'll go back to  the channel icon at the top then click  settings  and from here go to the left sidebar and  click advanced settings then scroll down  and you'll see custom URL it will say  this channel is not currently eligible  for a custom URL.

If you still haven't  met the 100 subscriber count'  now let's switch to what it will look  like when you are eligible so I have  this channel which has just reached a  hundred subscribers so I'll go to the  profile icon in the top right corner  again we'll click on settings then  advanced settings then it says you are  eligible for a custom URL claim it here  so I'll click claim it here and now as  you can see my name on my Google account  with Sparkle English so YouTube is  letting me claim my custom URL as  Sparkle English the only other option  they are offering me is to choose  Sparkle English plus a suffix of my  choice.

But luckily for me no one has  taken Sparkle English but if they had I  could click this and add something like  Sparkle English rocks or Sparkle English  2020 so I'll click on the URL I want and  then click that I agree to the Terms of  Use and click claim URL  and instantly you'll be able to go to  YouTube /c which stands for Channel  slash Sparkle English or whatever your  URL is and it'll redirect you to your  YouTube channel  so the most important thing is to make  sure you change your name in advance to  what you want your channel to be later  on so that you can get the custom URL of  your choosing thanks for watching my  tutorial and if you liked this video  please subscribe to my channel here at  studio Jen for more tutorials on  creating content for YouTube video  editing and design see you in my next  tutorial.
