How to change your YouTube name
Feel like the YouTube name you made up when you first started is holding you back from hitting that next subscriber milestone? Want to reinvent yourself without starting a new channel? You’ve come to the right place. This guide won’t help you make a living online, but it might give your channel the makeover it needs by teaching you how to change your YouTube name in just a few quick steps.

 Before you read on, keep in mind that this guide is focused exclusively on changing the name on your channel — that is, the name that appears when people visit your channel’s main page. If you want to change its URL, you can create a custom one if you’re eligible, or delete it and create a new one, but you can’t change an existing custom URL.

 Also, bear in mind that although you can change your name a couple of times in quick succession if you want to try out a few options, Google won’t let you keep doing so forever, so make sure to give it some thought before going through the process.
Changing your YouTube name: If you have a standard, non-branded account
You can change your YouTube name on a standard, non-branded YouTube account, but your name on all other Google services changes too, like Gmail. That’s because you’re altering the name associated with your Google account.

 If your YouTube account is a Brand Account, scroll down to the next section for instructions.

 Step 1: Sign in to your YouTube account. To do so, click the Sign In button in the top right of the YouTube homepage and input your credentials.

 Step 2: Click your profile picture in the top right corner and select Settings on the drop-down menu.


Step 3: Under the Your YouTube Channel section, select the Edit on Google link to change your name.


Step 4: On the following screen, change your First name and Last name to what you want your channel to be called. Click the Save button to finish.
