Google-owned video-sharing platform YouTube will start rolling out
unique handles for the channels, which will be similar to Instagram and TikTok
handles.
YouTube is owned by Google. It's a
video-sharing platform that allows users to upload their own videos and share
them with other people on their social media accounts.
YouTube will start rolling out unique handles for the channels, which will be similar to Instagram and TikTok handles. The new feature will help you identify your channel in search results as well as other platforms like Facebook or Twitter where you can post or Like posts related to your content creation efforts on YouTube channels such as gaming videos or creative projects like DIY tutorials etc.,
YouTube announced the new feature in a tweet on Tuesday, saying
that users can get a unique identity through their channel handle.

their channel handle.
"You've probably noticed some
of your favorite creators have been changing their names recently," the
company tweeted. "We're rolling out a new way for creators to personalize
their channel names and make them easier for viewers to recognize."
The announcement came after months of rumors about how YouTube would be changing its name policy and how it would affect channels with more than 10 million subscribers. In December 2018, a number of popular channels such as Ryan ToysReview had their names changed following an investigation by The Wall Street Journal into whether or not they were profiting off children's videos without paying licensing fees owed by them (they didn't).

a single identity across all of YouTube -- one username and one URL -- that
people can use to find you or your channel. It also gives creators more control
over how they want to be found on the platform, since they can now use their
channel handle as their username (as opposed to having three names: Facebook,
Twitter
and Instagram).

The move follows a recent report from The Wall Street Journal that said YouTube is considering changing its channel name system as part of efforts to make the platform more welcoming for creators with fewer viewers than those who reach millions of people every day.
