What are YouTube custom URLs?
A YouTube custom URL is a unique, branded web address for your channel, making it easier for viewers to find and share. Instead of a long string of random characters, your URL could look like:
www.youtube.com/YourChannelName
Benefits of a Custom URL:
- Easy to Remember: Simplifies sharing your channel link.
- Professional Look: Enhances your branding and credibility.
- Boosts Discoverability: Helps align your URL with your brand or niche.
Requirements to Claim a Custom URL:
To be eligible, your channel must:
- Have at least 100 subscribers.
- Be at least 30 days old.
- Have a profile picture and a banner image.
How to Set a Custom URL:
- Go to YouTube Studio.
- Click Customization > Basic Info.
- In the “Channel URL” section, you’ll see the option to create a custom URL if eligible.
- Choose from the suggestions (or tweak it slightly if allowed).
- Click Publish to finalize.
Once set, your custom URL is permanent, though you can remove or update it with limited options.
