A custom URL is an easy-to-remember channel URL that you can share with your audience. Custom URLs are based on your channel name and display as youtube.com/yourcustomname or youtube.com/c/yourcustomname.
Note: You can remove and set up a new custom URL for your channel up to 3 times per year. If you move your YouTube channel to another account, you need to remove your custom URL from your account then set up a custom URL on your new account after 72 hours.
Custom URL eligibility
To create a custom URL for your channel, your account needs to:
