Channel URL

YouTube iPhone and iPad app

Your channel URL is the standard URL that YouTube channels use. It uses your unique channel ID, which is the numbers and letters at the end of the URL. You can view and copy your channel URL within the YouTube and YouTube Studio app.

Description

You can change your YouTube description, just make sure it follows our Community Guidelines. Your description is accessible in the channel header.

Add or change your pronouns

You can add your pronouns to your channel so that they are displayed on your channel page. You can choose whether to display your pronouns to everyone or only show them to your subscribers.

Pronouns are a critical part of personal identity and expression. Some jurisdictions have laws related to gender expression. Keep your local laws in mind when using this opt-in public feature on YouTube.

If pronouns are not available on your channel page, we’re working to expand this feature to more countries/regions and languages.
