YouTube users shouldn't have a lot of problems adapting to the new format because of the presence ofusername handles on social media sites. The "@" handles on the video sharing website will be a bit different. Two different creators can have a channel with the same name, and that's why it's called a channel name.

Channel names are not going away. The handles will join the names of the channels.

This change is being introduced slowly. Over the next month, the company will let creators know when they can choose a handle. In most cases, personalized URLs will be the channel's default handle, but they can change it after getting a notification in the studio.

Many creators will be anxious about having the option to choose the handles for their channels, as many people will want to get the most coveted names The order in which creators are given the option to choose their handle will depend on a number of factors.
