Hey @YouTube @YTCreators @TeamYouTube I transferred my YouTube channel to another gmail account and everything seemed to transfer except my channel link (https://www.youtube.com/theagnda ). So now it won't let me claim that link on my new account and I'm hoping there is a way to resolve.

Hi there. While there isn't an option to claim an existing URL, here's our Help Center article which gives you more info on how to claim a custom URL: https://yt.be/help/MDcK . Hope this info helps.

Thank you for the reply, however, the url is no longer existing... are you saying even upon deletion or removal of that URL it will never be available again? I accept if this is the case I just want to fully understand.

The same URL may not be available for you to claim. Once you remove a custom URL from your old channel, it may become free to be claimed by another creator. If you're seeing a message saying so, you may need to add a few letters or numbers to make the URL unique to you.

Thanks again for the reply, but am I not "another creator"? This is technically a new YouTube account, I transferred the channel to a new Gmail. It sounds like you're saying it may eventually become available to claim? Or under no circumstance will I be able to claim it?
