Took me 47 seconds from the time I played the video to the time I changed my handle, you're the best!

[chadderz]

So what are the benefits on having a handle compared to the other accounts with the same name as yours?? Does this mean your account will be at the top for that search?

[RicoSayan]

Thank you! I didnt feel like sitting through a 15 min video explaining how to set up everything. I just needed to know how to change it. You saved me a lot of time!

[suzan]

Hey Dusty, thank for this video, just what I was looking for.
However.... I do NOT get the option to change handle like we see in the video... any idea why? Thanks in advance.

[MichelleJohnsonOfficial]

I finally got the "Your handle is ready" email, but the blue button takes me to the page that says it isn't ready yet, which makes no sense. ??? Any ideas?

I have a question, if I want a Space between our names, do I use a _, ? Do uppercase letters change the word, if I used Upper cases for names? I ask YT, but the person I asked did not know. I see no blank spaces are allowed, or does the handle name run together as would a website, Thanks

It worked Yay! I was googling how to change youtube user@ nothing came up so I searched youtube and you came up. Thanks Porter 🧸🧸🧸

[keontebattle]

How long does it take for the change one to take effect on search

[gardensidebyangie]

THANKS, Dusty! This helped me SO MUCH! I am going to take a look at your other videos.

All the comments I see here are in handles, how do I change it back into their original names

[OrganizeCreateDecorate]

Thank you. I didn't know what to call it so I couldn't find it. You saved me.

I changed my channel name and handle on my mobile phone (it was not taken). When I tried to change my channel name and handle name (same name that I changed on my phone) on my laptop it states it's already taken? Does it not just roll over?

[alexanderleeart]

thanks for the helpful video, pretty annoying that this is being rolled out bit by bit, meaning those who come later might already have their chosen handle taken

Have my Handle set up by email from youtube, however I don't have the option to change handle like in your video. I have assigned handles that they want me to confirm. I want to change it.

[kairlynn]

I am confused. I got the email that I can now change my handle, but the webpage still says "We’ll notify you when you can choose yours." Came here thinking I was missing something, but nope, just YouTube being YouTube lmao. Thanks for the video!

[pats_pajama]

Thanks that was so easy.! You have a great voice and are really great at explaining this stuff. Thanks again

[Prxblm]

thank you i been wanting to do this for years

[JohnzyZombee]

When I change my handle - there is no option to confirm my selection, please help!

[zeldachickofficial]

Sad I don't have this option at all... :(
