Earlier, YouTubers depend on the Google platform to edit their Channel names. With the recent updates and introduction of new features, Google lets users change their YouTube Channel name from the desktop and mobile app without the aid of Google services. Most users will modify their channel name to make it more popular, attract users, and easily gain followers. Moreover, you will be allowed to change the channel name only for a limited time in a specific period. If you have created a YouTube channel with an unconventional name, it is necessary to have an attractive channel name.
