If your channel is eligible, you can give your fans an easy-to-remember web address, called a custom URL for your YouTube channel and looks like this:
youtube.com/yourcustomname and youtube.com/c/yourcustomname.
You can choose a custom name for your URL based on just about anything that interest you, such as your display name, your YouTube username, any current
Vanity URLs
that you have, or the name of your linked website (all subject to availability).
When sharing your custom URL, you can change its capitalization and accents any way you'd like. For example, both youtube.com/c/yourcustomname and youtube.com/c/YourCustomName would send viewers to the same channel.
You can't change a custom URL after creation. However, you can remove the custom URL from your channel and claim a new one if you want to change it.
