I've Got It
Hello!

I need help by chancing my channel's URL to make it the same as my channel name, how do I do this?

cheers~

EDIT: I know how to change the URL but I don't know how I can change it to be 'jetism' because it says I need to add something :(
 
I've moved this to the main YouTube discussion forums. ^^

Can you please clarify your question? Are you trying to change your display name or your actualy channel URL?

Changing your channel URL requires a certain subscriber amount (I believe it currently is 100 subscribers, although the required amount has changed a lot over the last few years).

Changing your display name varies depending on whether it is linked to a Google Plus account or not. It should be able to be done in your advanced settings if you click on "change" beside your username:

My channel URL, I can change it but for some reason I can't change it to 'jetism' even though that's not taken

This is the way the naming system works. It wants you to add some numbers on the end to ensure you have a unique URL.

I also encountered this problem. There's an easy fix though:

1) Change your channel name to jet.
2) Then go to set your channel URL. It'll say "jet" is taken, add a few letters/numbers. Then just add "ism" on the end. You now have the channel URL jetism.
3) Now just change your channel name back to jetism. Voila.

That's how I got the channel url "TIpharot" for my channel and got around this issue :) It wanted me to add letters/numbers to the end, so I changed my channel name to "Tipha", then just added "rot" when it wanted me to add letters/numbers. Changed my channel name back to Tipharot, and now have the URL Youtube.com/Tipharot rather than having had to add any numbers/letters.

Now this won't work if the channel name you want actually IS taken, but Jetism doesn't appear to be, so it should work.

Please don't bump threads.

You have received plenty of replies and you still haven't provided any detailed info or screenshots about what you mean. Your post makes no sense at all.

@JesusGreen has given you some great help. If that doesn't solve the problem, then you'll have to clearly explain the problem with some step by screenshots of what you're doing.
