All YouTube users will soon be able to identify themselves in a new way. The company announced today that @name handles will be used across the platform, a common practice on the internet but a first for YouTube.
Every YouTube user will have their own handle, which will be used across the platform, from channel pages to Shorts, YouTube’s TikTok competitor. Users can use a handle to mention others in comments, video descriptions, titles, and other places, according to YouTube, making it easier for creators to reach audiences and increase visibility.
