If you were running a YouTube channel or wanted to rename your YouTube channel name, yes, you can change your YouTube channel name directly from your YouTube profile. This means you no longer need to directly make the change from your Google account. Earlier, you needed to change the YouTube channel name in your Google Account, which later reflected in your YouTube channel name.

It was so far so good because you are no longer required to go through Google Service. Hence, you can now separate channel names for exclusive use of the video-sharing platform. So, without further ado, let’s check this out.

Change the YouTube channel name on the desktop.

  • Open YouTube in your web browser and log in to your YouTube channel.
  • Click on Channel Profile, and then select YouTube Studio.
  • Navigate to the upper-left corner and then scroll down to customization.
  • Select Basic Info, and then click Edit (the pencil icon) beside the YouTube channel name to edit and update it accordingly.
  • That’s it. Confirm the channel name, and then navigate to the upper-left corner and click on Publish.

Steps to Change Your Profile Picture

Similarly, now you also don’t need to change the Google Account Profile Picture. So far, you can change the profile picture directly from the YouTube channel.

  • Open YouTube Studio and click on the Profile Picture.
  • Navigate to the upper-left and click on the Branding Tap.
  • Upload the picture that you want to replace, and then adjust the placement.
  • Resize or retract the picture accordingly.
  • That’s it. Once you are done, click on Publish to create a new profile picture.

Changing the YouTube Channel Name and Profile Picture from a Smartphone

  • Open YouTube and log into your channel.
  • Select Profile Picture, and then click on your channel.
  • Click on Edit Channel and select the pencil icon beside your channel name.
  • Type a new name, and then click OK to save the changes.

Additionally, to change the profile picture, simply select the camera icon. Select the icon and browser image, and choose a new profile. Once you are done with the placement, simply tap Save to make changes.
