Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>YouTube will be introducing handles to make it easier for users to find and connect with each other, both creators and viewers.<\/p>\n

Unlike channel names, handles are unique to each creator, making it easier for you to establish a distinct presence on YouTube.<\/p>\n

The handle will be how people mention you in comments and community posts, and how you appear on search results.<\/p>\n

YouTube will also start showing a creator\u2019s handle on the shorts tab and alongside the channel name on the channel page.<\/p>\n

YouTube is gradually rolling out the ability to choose handles for all channels over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

If you already have a personalised URL, your channel has been reserved for this as your handle.<\/p>\n

If you wish to have a different handle from the reserved one, you will be able to change it.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have a personalised URL, you can choose a handle for your channel.<\/p>\n

The handle will automatically become your channel’s new YouTube URL, making it easy for people to discover you.<\/p>\n

On November 14, if you wouldn\u2019t have selected a handle for your channel, YouTube will automatically assign you a handle.<\/p>\n

This can be changed in the YouTube studio.<\/p>\n

A handle has to follow YouTube\u2019s community guidelines.<\/p>\n

A handle must also be between 3 to 30 characters, made up of alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9), include underscores, hyphens, and full stops and is not already being used.<\/p>\n

If you are contributing to the YouTube community for the first time, for example by making a comment or uploading a video, a channel is automatically created.<\/p>\n

At that point, you will be asked to select a handle.<\/p>\n

Having a YouTube account does not necessarily equate to having a channel.<\/p>\n

Supervised users will not have access to handles.<\/p>\n

A supervised experience on YouTube is a parent-managed version of regular YouTube and YouTube music for children under 13.<\/p>\n

With the handle, creators can get noticed on shorts, identify in a unique way, get tagged in videos, easily be found by others, and connect with other creators in the YouTube community.<\/p>\n
