Use your artist name as your channel name Best practices for writing your channel name Use proper capitalization : For example, don’t use "big light" or "BIG LIGHT", unless your brand explicitly uses capitalization as part of the styling. Use proper spacing : For example, don’t use "BigLight", unless your brand explicitly uses concatenated names. Avoid extra words : For example, don’t add words like "Official", "TV", "Channel", "YouTube", or "Productions" to your name. Choose a primary language : If your audience spans many languages, choose one language for your name. You can add alternative translations that will show up depending on the fan's language preferences.
