YouTube adds handles for channels
YouTube recently announced that channels now can have handles that are created to suit the user. In the past, creators were restricted to an automatically generated url if their follower count was less than 100. That left content creators struggling to be found. But now, users can not only create a unique, custom url for their channel but also add a custom handle.
According to YouTube, “A YouTube handle is a new way for people to find you and connect with you. Unlike channel names, handles are unique to each creator, making it easier for you to establish a distinct presence on YouTube.”
Handles create a new way for people to connect with creators on YouTube. Handles are unique to each channel which means creators can establish and maintain a distinct brand on YouTube. Handles will appear on the channel hompage, in search results, comments, and more.
When a creator shares the handle on other platforms,
YouTube is gradually rolling out handles to all channels over the coming weeks, and will notify creators in YouTube Studio and by email when it’s time to choose their handle.
