Hi..

Im new to the forum, looks great :)

I have an old youtube account ( /paculand )

Ive never actually used it for much but now I am making a new channel for a project I am working on called 'Seed is Life' and have made a new account

have they changed how the URLs work? i would really like a clean URL It all seems quite irritating with google plus and what not..

as far as I can tell my new address is /channel/UCwdkVFDOCzhS2w4VHmc4oig which I dont like.

i have seen others these days with /user/username

How can I set it up to have a clean URL, is it possible?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks
 
you should find that option in your settings.. advance.. make sure you check all the option you have.. but yes you can change your url
 
When you create a new YouTube channel using your Google identity, you'll have a default unique URL that looks something like this:
You can see that it is quite complicated and hard to remember. If you'd like a simpler URL, you can add a custom URL to your Channel. To add a custom URL, use the following steps:
  1. Make sure you're signed into YouTube, and go to your advanced account settings.
  2. Under Channel Settings, click Create custom URL.
  3. You'll then be able to choose the URL you want. Note that you can't choose a URL that someone's already chosen. Once you've chosen your custom URL, it will appear like this:
Once your channel has a custom URL, it can't be changed. Choose carefully!
