If you’ve discovered a better name for your YouTube channel, you can delete the old one and replace it with the new one. On the web and mobile, we’ll show you how to rename your YouTube channel.

What Happens When You Change the Name of Your Channel?

When you change the name of your channel, YouTube begins using the new name throughout its platform. If you have used channel translations to translate your current channel name, you will need to update that translation for your new name.

Furthermore, if you have a verification badge on your channel, you will lose it when you rename it.

How to Change the Name of Your Channel on the Web

  • If you’re using a Windows, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook computer, go to the YouTube Studio website and change the name of your channel.
  • To begin, launch a web browser and navigate to the YouTube Studio website. Log in to the site with your YouTube (Google) account.
  • Click “Customization” in the sidebar on the left of the YouTube Studio website.
  • You’ll be taken to a page called “Channel Customization.” Click “Basic Info” at the top of the page.
  • Click the pencil icon next to your current channel name in the “Basic Info” section that opens.
  • You can now change the name of your channel. Enter a new name for your channel in the “Name” field. Then, on the “Channel Customization” page, click “Publish” in the upper-right corner.

That’s the end of it. You have successfully changed the name of your YouTube channel. It will take a few days for your new channel name to be reflected throughout the platform.

If you want to start a new YouTube channel with a different name, you should delete your current one.
