Happy Birthday, [livejournal.com profile] elwenlj! I hope it was a peaceful and lovely one!

My D&D Christmas cake

Nothing worth reporting on my end of the connection. We cleaned out a good half of the kitchen cupboard, and I cooked in advance for the next two days. Did some minor crafting and talked to my friend Erna on the phone. That's all.


We're writing to let you know that over the coming weeks YouTube will be introducing handles to make it easier for members of the community to find and connect with each other. Your handle will be unique to your channel and will be how people mention you in comments, community posts, and more.

Here’s what you need to know:

We're gradually rolling out the ability to choose a handle for all channels over the coming weeks, and you will receive another email and a notification in YouTube Studio when you’re able to choose yours. In most cases, if you already have a personalized URL for your channel, we’ve reserved this for you as your handle. If you want a different handle from the one we’ve reserved, you can change it. If you don’t already have a personalized URL today, you’ll also be able to choose a handle for your channel.

Starting on November 14, 2022, if you haven’t yet selected a handle for your channel, YouTube will automatically assign you a handle, which you can change in YouTube Studio if you'd like.


Anyone has an idea what it actually means? Can I safely ignore the whole thing when I don't intend to upload videos of my own?

Absolutely no clue what this means...

They'll just make everything more complicated, as usual, I'm afraid.

Neither have I, and it annoys the living daylight out of me!

Thank you! And I got that email too. I use my Google handle on YouTube, so I'm assuming nothing will change for me...but who knows? I certainly don't.

What is a Google handle? Your password?

I have no idea what they mean on YT. I got that mail too. I'm just going to ignore it and see what happens since I don't upload vids, so it's probably not important anyway.
