[@DadBodFitness]

Thank you so much David! Really appreciate the help! This was super thorough and I appreciate your explanation. All the best!

[@Sapanoid]

I got an email saying "You can now choose your channel’s handle." but when i go to the website it just says "Handles will be rolling out soon. We’ll notify you when you can choose yours." very weird if you ask me

[@shiroz_z]

check if it's the same account you use when you received the email and the account you use for yt

[@ThumbnailGrail]

Have you figured out a solution? I have had the same issue all day, I keep checking back and nothing... I am signed in to the correct account.

[@DavidWalshOnline]

It'll be rolled out to EVERYONE very soon. They have a cut off point of Nov 14 before YT auto assign Handles to channels. So they're going to be available in the next few days 😎

[@puppyofwrath]

I have the same situation. This is a really crappy rollout.

[@sher_code]

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]

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]

@@DavidWalshOnline Thank you for the reply. I figured it out. KZbin 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.

[@flyflyfly2123]

@@sher_code this didn’t work for me. It reserves the original for 2 weeks. But it reserves handles 2 at a time when you change it from the original.

[@lordmegaandy8421]

Two question does it effect your channel like when go to youtube app my channel will be gone ? And its basically give you a link or somthing?

[@DavidWalshOnline]

Nope, channel isn’t gone. Yes, gives you a link and people can find you easier… as explained in the video…

[@LastBencher.]

I have 2 ids in which i have 3k and in another it is 15 subs I got handle in 15 subs id but not in my main channel :(

[@simplebernadettewcats49]

Thank you very much i already choose my handle that youtube send to me.

[@elizabethgrove2129]

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 KZbin 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.

[@conradobrown9529]

Mr u win another suscriber, so easy to understand ur explanation

[@DavidWalshOnline]

Coooool. Welcome to the mad house 😎😎😎

[@successfulpeople]

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.

[@DavidWalshOnline]

It can help with SEO. You should’ve have to have a separate email per channel. Each channel will have its own handle… How have you set the other channels up? What content do you have on them?

[@successfulpeople]

@@DavidWalshOnline Thank you very much. The first channel is about African movies and I was able to get @Africanmovie instead of @Africanmovies. The other channels will be about sports, and dieting

Hello! I deleted a previous channel I had, and now I want to claim my old handle for this one. Whenever I try, it says it's already in use but I know it's not the case, since I deleted mine, and no one else has claimed it so far. How should I proceed to retrieve it? Thanks!

[@unfocusedfr]

This worked for me!

[@Alvicatchannel]

I already had my channel name adjusted years ago. What's the big deal about having a 'handle' now?

[@DavidWalshOnline]

This opens it up for brand new URLs. Get it while it’s available…

[@FunnyMemeSpot]

What’s really fun is that I can’t open it, says send to app, I’m on the app, and it sends to the App Store and so it’s quite literally impossible to claim my handle.

[@DavidWalshOnline]

Bummer… works fine in the app for me… 😳

[@brianhayes5893]

can we have different handles for different areas we serve, like one for church stuff, one for business etc

[@MosesX-Labs]

That’s not what handles are for. Handles are for finding the channel faster in a URL or mentioning a channel. It’s similar to Twitter handles.

[@RandomBurner]

So can someone still change their custom url when the reach 100 followers and keep their custom handle?

[@Locutus]

I got an e-mail today saying that I could choose my handle. I went to choose it, it says that it's not available yet! 🤦😂

[@wysperslive]

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.
