This wikiHow teaches you how to change the name of your channel on YouTube. Keep in mind that changing the name associated with a Google Account will also change your name in any connected Google services, such as Gmail. You can change your channel name on both desktop and mobile versions of YouTube.

On Desktop

  1. Open YouTube. Go to https://www.youtube.com/ in your computer's web browser. This will take you to the YouTube home page.
  2. Click your profile icon. This circular icon is in the top-right side of the page. A drop-down menu will appear.
    • If you see SIGN IN here instead, click SIGN IN, then enter your email address and password. You can then click your profile icon.
  3. Click Settings. It's in the middle of the drop-down menu. Doing so opens your YouTube account's settings page.
  4. Select a different channel if necessary. If you're currently logged into a different channel than the one you want to edit, click your profile icon in the top-right side of the page, then click the name of the channel you want to edit.
    • It may take a few seconds for the other channel(s) to appear in the drop-down menu.
  5. Click Edit on Google. It's a link to the right of the profile image in the "Your YouTube channel" section. Doing so prompts a pop-up window.
  6. Change your channel name. In the text box that's in the middle of the pop-up window, type in the name you want to use.
