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.

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.
