Steps on How to Set Up a Custom URL for Your Youtube Channel
Following are the steps to set up a custom URL of your choice.
Before we begin, I am assuming you are logged into your Youtube account already, because, du-uh.
I will start off with the easiest way. That is using a direct url to navigate to where we want to go.
Step 1: The easiest way is to open the following url in your browser:
https://www.youtube.com/account_advanced
Step 2: Click on the claim it here link as shown. It must be located in Advanced Settings tab column.
In the next screen, you will be suggested the choice of name for your Custom URL.
Step 3: If you are okay with what is suggested, and of course after you have read Terms of Use, you can go ahead and check “I have read and agree to the custom URL”.
Step 4: Then click on the Change URL button.
Step 5: Next step would be to a confirmation step. Click on Confirm Choice if you are okay with the name.
That’s it!
Now all you have to do is paste the url in your address bar and press Enter. Don’t worry about the capital letters.
Woohoo! It works.
