YouTube is going to fulfill the long-standing demand of the creators. From now on, one can easily change the name and profile picture of the YouTube channel. News Engadget.
Instead of switching to a Google Account, YouTubers now can easily switch to a YouTube channel. From there, creators will be able to change channel names and profile pictures. As a result, YouTube channels will be separate from the Google account.
However, if a verified channel changes its name, it will lose the verification badge. If you want to re-verify, you have to apply again. However, changing the channel name will not change the custom URL.
