- YouTube is bringing account handles to all users starting this week.
- YouTube hopes that the handles will increase audience reach and visibility.
- Some users will get to choose their handles before everyone else.
YouTube users are in store for a big change coming to the platform. Soon, you will be able to create your own unique account handle to use across the website.
Taking a cue from the likes of TikTok, Twitter, and other places around the internet, YouTube is introducing “@name” handles. In a blog post, the company states that handles will appear on channel pages and shorts for all users. The handles won’t be replacing channel names, but will join them as an additional way to identify a channel.
