How to change the channel link on YouTube? instruction

Every site created on the Internet needs to be optimized. Even a YouTube channel needs to be properly configured to be perfect.

One of the required processes for anyone who decided to do video blogging is setting up a beautiful URL. The beautiful address of the channel also affects its perception, and it is remembered better.

How can I change the channel link on YouTube? I would just like to say that the old rules were canceled. Previously, it could be done in a couple of minutes and no promotion was required for this.

Now everything has changed and not everyone can get a beautiful address for their channel.

• the channel icon is a photo;
• the design of the channel is configured;
• the channel is associated with the site.

The requirements have been tightened, but it is not difficult to get around them. A month is not a long time, channel design and icon are easy to configure. Linking to the site is also not a complicated procedure. As for subscribers, they can be screwed.
