@TeamYouTube Hi, trying to get an answer to this question. How do I refer someone to a YouTube channel that is brand new if I can’t set up a custom domain name for it? Is the only option that long string of random letters and numbers in the URL?
The channel doesn’t meet those requirements yet, it’s just new, has no subscribers yet. So I guess the answer is that I have to use the URL with that long string of random letters and numbers to link to the channel?
