Choose a username that is short,
memorable, and if possible, gives visitors
an idea of the type of videos you make or
who you are. Your username will be shown
in your videos and may also appear in
search results. Avoid changing your
username frequently - instead, use it
consistently to build up your online
presence.
We recommend keeping your username
consistent across other social platforms.
