00:23Now to do this, what you want to do is come across to YouTube
00:26and make sure that you're logged into the account
00:28that you want to change your channel link for.
00:30Once you've done that, come and click onto your YouTube profile icon
00:34up in the top right-hand corner.
00:35And from this menu that comes up, you want to come and click onto YouTube studio.
00:40Once you're in your studio, come over to the menu on the left-hand side
00:43and click onto customization.
00:45And then what you want to do is come up to the top
00:47and make sure that you're clicked onto profile.
00:50Once you've done that, just scroll down on your profile page
00:52to the handle section.
00:55So as you can see, it says your handle is a unique ad name
00:58that helps people find your channel different from your channel name.
01:01You can see a preview of your current channel URL link underneath.
01:06But what you can do is of course, change your handle
01:08to a whatever you want your channel link to be.
01:11For example, something like this.
01:13If it is available, it's going to give a tick.
01:15If not, you're going to see a exclamation mark,
01:18which says handle not available.
01:20So you can add some numbers in afterwards
01:22and you can see this one's available
01:24and you can see this is going to be our channel link underneath.
01:27So once you're happy with this, come up to the top right,
01:30make sure to click onto publish to save your changes.
01:33Just a quick note as well,
01:34you can change your handle twice within a 14 day period
01:37and your previous handle is held for 14 days
01:40in case you did want to switch back to your previous handle.
