YouTube Is Stupid
YouTube has a new “feature” that is completely stupid. They are using our unique handle names in chat instead of our chosen display names. This is to reduce the acts of impersonating someone else. KKP cannot turn it back.
In order to “fix” the issue, we recommend changing your handle name to one that we all recognize.
How to view/Change Your New Handle Name
On a computer/browser
Sign in to YouTube Studio.
From the left Menu, select Customization Profile.
Under Handle, you can view or change your handle URL.
If you change your handle, click PUBLISH to confirm it.
Note: If your preferred handle isn’t available, you can try adding periods, numbers, or underscores. If you tried that and it’s still not available, then it’s usually because another channel is already using it or it didn’t meet our handle naming guidelines.
