Hi David, I’m all set with the handle. They custom assigned it and when I go onto google and put it search bar my channel comes right up. Same thing if I use the custom URL. My question is when I’m signed into my KZfaq account and go my channel I don’t see either the custom handle or even the custom URL in search bar. Maybe it’s only because I’m signed in? Could this be a browser issue? Im on a Mac Air 2016 using Safari so it’s old at this point.

It's not based on size. I have a channel with 600 subs that it's available for. You mentioned one that has 2,000 and it isn't available for them. So I can see them allowing bigger channels to set theirs first so no one squats on their brand but beyond that it doesn't seem there is any real logic to the roll out, per usual with youtube.

Hi David, two questions. Does the handle help in SEO? The second question is do I need a different email for each account to have a handle? I have 3 accounts attached to one email but was allowed one handle. When I switched to the other accounts, the option to select a handle wasn't there.

@IzludeTingel Жыл бұрын

they broke the way this works, or the rollout was flawed. i have another channel with a specific name, and at one time, wanted the youtube URL to match. someone already owned that url. however, handles rolled out to me first and i was able to snag the handle i wanted. the person with the original YT url was forced to take a handle with a number because i got the handle before them as it didn't roll out to them before me. that's kinda messed up, but.. since i got what i had always wanted (and rightfully so since i even own an actual website domain name of that name), i guess i can't complain lol.. but hopefully others are aware that even if they own a YT channel with a shortcut url, it doesn't mean they will automatically get the handle version of that name. if it rolls out to them first, they will get the handle of their existing YT url name, but if it doesn't roll out to them first, someone else can steal it from under them.

@sher_code Жыл бұрын

Hi David, thanks for the video. Is there a way to claim a handle after someone else has had it? There's a handle that I want for one of my channels, but one of my other channels had had it previously. I wanted to "transfer" the handle over to the other channel but it's still showing as taken.

@DavidWalshOnline Жыл бұрын

You'll have to release that handle on the other channel first. I don't know if there's a waiting period to be able to claim it. Usually it was 30 days with Custom URL's and it could be the same with these. It's one of the MANY things that will be on the long list of questions to ask YT when these are fully rolled out. For now, release it on the old channel, and keep going back to the newer channel and see if it becomes available for you... 😎 What's the Handle you're looking for?

@sher_code Жыл бұрын

@@DavidWalshOnline Thank you for the reply. I figured it out. KZfaq will save 2 handles for you at a time, no more, no less. On the first channel, even though I changed the handle, it was still being reserved, so I could not use it in the second channel. But once I changed my handle yet again on the first channel, now the oldest handle disappeared (reserving only the most recent 2), and could now be taken up by the second channel. All done.
