Historically it happened that my YouTube channel has a name:
Wellness and Recovery Channel
and a URL
/user/RubIconVision

Google no longer allows for youtubers to change the URL to whatever they want.
My problem is that capital "i" in the English alphabet looks a lot like lowercase "L".
So I would like my channel to be called
/user/RubiconVision
to eliminate confusion.
Can I still change capitalization in the URL?
What would be my best approach to change capital "I" to lowercase "i"?

Thank you.
Happy New Year

The username part of the URL usually isn't case-sensitive, so /user/RubiconVision should still work fine (as would /user/RUBiCONViSiON, lol!). YouTube might default back to the original capitalization, but at least you can direct people to your channel using a lowercase i. After you reach 100 subscribers, I think you could get another channel username using the "/c/" URL format instead of the "/user/" format. Then, you could respell it using the lowercase i. ^_^
