Want to use your full name on YouTube? Partners can opt in now

Until June, cutepuppies99 was stuck with a name he may have outgrown, and origamigirl1981 couldn’t reveal the name of the person with the skills. We wanted to fix this, so we started allowing them to use their name from their Google+ profiles on YouTube.

Today, we are happy to announce that YouTube partners can now get in on the action by opting in.

Opting in allows you to replace your username with your Google+ profile name (spaces included!), replace your photo  with any you’ve uploaded, and include a direct link to your profile.  See this example from creator Rob Scallon, formerly known as “robs70986987”:



This provides you with a seamless way to connect with and be discovered by your audience across YouTube and Google.

Despite some nifty benefits, opting into a Google+ profile isn’t for everyone. Currently, YouTube only supports using a Google+ profile identity, which is designed for individuals who want to use their full names. If your channel is built around a brand or organization, and you want to use that name instead, you should wait until Google+ Pages are available to be connected with channels. (We’re working hard on that, too.) Google+ Pages can be named after a brand or organization, and up to 50 people may administer the account. (You’ll also be able administer up to 50 channels from an account.)

If you think a Google+ profile is a good fit for you, you can start opting in by going to the advanced section of your account settings and clicking “Begin using my full name on YouTube.” Note that this is only available if you have your Google+ profile on the same account as your Channel.

And if you change your mind, you can always switch back to cutepuppies99.

For more information on Google identities on YouTube, visit our help center.

    3. Hey Gari,

      We're ramping this up still for users who have a large number of uploads, due to technical reasons. You have a pretty high number, so it might take a little bit long for this to be available for you. I'll be in touch with updates.

    4. something is wrong here all you guys gotta do is
      go to settings, advanced and click on "link my youtube with/to google+" or something !!! and then it asks you if you want to use your real name:) done~

  2. I think it is probably the same thing as Custom Thumbnails etc... They are going to roll it out more than likely.

  4. Will we be able to be FOUND by our current subscribers if we change form our old Branded Name to our personal name? Is there a way/tool YouTube provides to let the subscriber base know we have changed names?

    Maybe it is up to us to alert them, but when they search for our "old name" is there any way they will be told that we now have a "new name" and here is a link, etc.?

    ReplyDelete

  5. This is ideal for Google+ brand pages (not personal ones). Will wait until then.

  6. If I choose to use my own name for the time being, will I later be able to choose connecting to the page instead once that feature becomes available?

    ReplyDelete

  7. Hey Teresa,

    I'd advise that once you make a connection, you should be prepared to stick to it. So, technically we'll probably have a way for you to disconnect from the profile, and reconnect to a Page later, but it would be best to make a decision now (Page or Profile) and stick with it.

    1. Thanks David! I will wait for the Page connection. How much longer before the page is available?

    2. I just created a channel and DID NOT have the OPTION to NOT add it to G+.

      I didn't want this but I couldn't just create a channe w/out being shoved in G+. So now my channel is connected to a G+ profile which I did not choose or again want. G+ is buggy and images / avatars are FUZZY in larger views (i.e. where someone is recommending channels on their channels)

      I want it **disconnected** since I'm not "that profile" and my channel is a SHOW not a person. How can we disconnect without killing our channel? Can you post how to do that? Would be awesome.

      I wouldn't mind connecting it to a PAGE on G+ that would be appropriate but how soon can we do that?

      Delete

  8. Google + Chrome + Youtube = Greate stuff!! Thanx

  9. when can we make a google page that doesn't have our first and last name? Thats what I would like to see.

  10. Great work Google/YouTube!

    - "You’ll also be able administer up to 50 channels from an account."

    Assuming that means multiple YT channels from a single email address, this is music to my ears.

    - "you should wait until Google+ Pages are available to be connected with channels."

    I'm really hoping that the integration runs deep, and that my YouTube videos will appear prominently right there on my G+ page.

  11. Hi Ryan,

    You can actually create a Google+ Page with a business, brand, or show name right now:

  40. I do not want to use my full name on youtube.What ever happened to privacy? Their should be an option for me to use just a nickname, and not have my full name with the nickname...Also I never asked to make a google plus account. I had to create another youtube account because I am unable to change my old username. and now I'm forced to use my full name which isn't fair.

  46. I am Doris used every single spell worker on the internet, spent untold amounts of money and discovered they are all fakes...i was the fool though; doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In the end, I decided that I wanted a tarot reading to know what my future held for me; I contacted a woman who lives locally to me and she told me about a man named (Priests Meruja); he does not advertise on the internet, has another job for income, has no set prices, makes no false promises and refuses to help anyone that cannot be helped and even helps
    for free sometimes, he will give you proof before taking money. He is a wonderful man and he was the only person who actually gave me real results. I really hope he doesn't mind me advertising his contact on the internet but I'm sure any help/ extra work will benefit him.contact him as nativedoctor101@live.com He travel sometimes.i cant give out his number cos he told me he don’t want to be disturbed by many people across the world..he said his email is okay and he’ will replied to any emails asap,love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,any sicknesses voodoo,Trouble in marriage,HIV AIDS,it's all he does Hope this helps everyone that is in a desperate situation as I once was; I know how it feels to hold onto something and never have a chance to move on because of the false promises and then to feel trapped in wanting something
