FR TECHIES: Help needed naming a YouTube channel
September | Silly

Posted on 09/03/2015 7:08:13 PM PDT by Silly

Hi, techies, I'm having trouble helping a friend assign a name to her YouTube channel (e.g., YouTube.com/MyChannelName). It just won't work.

I'm generally very good at this sort of thing, and two years ago named my own YouTube channel. But I couldn't get it to work this time, and found out that, according to some sources (including YouTube's own help pages), YouTube requires 500 subscribers to obtain a channel name.

I'm finding it hard to believe that, but am stumped. None of the online sources are helping. If you have experience and knowledge of this, could you please help?

Thank you!

Not being,

Use the word “Progressive” in the name, that way You Tube will never ban it.
