You can now display your YouTube channel in your profile.

You can also edit your profile by clicking on "Quick Links" (on right side of the navigation bar), and then clicking "Edit Profile".

Your channel will be displayed under your Avatar to the right of the Chat icons. If you have entered in your YouTube username into your profile, the YouTube icon will appear. When clicked, the user's YouTube channel will open in a new window:

A link to your channel is also displayed in your public profile, under Contact Info.

If you have any questions, or experience any problems, please let me know.

I realize this is likely a dead thread, but I'm hoping someone can help me. My YouTube channel is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXy9hqn4DblkeNsrxaFaQw and my username is "Gecko Cubing", but when I enter it in the edit profile section, it goes nowhere. It enters my username, and it updates it on my profile, but it's a 404 error, and I have no idea why. Am I missing something?

Looks like you forgot the space.

Well, yes. But originally I included the space. I tried copying everything after where it says youtube.com in my profile URL, and even that didn't work. I changed it back to include the space, and it still results in a 404 error when I click it.

Is Gecko Cubing the original name of the channel?

Yes, I have a main channel for all my interests, but this one was specifically created for my cubing endeavors, and has always been called that.

This doesn't work unless your youtube channel has a custom URL instead of the default random characters, so you'll have to put "channel/UCCXy9hqn4DblkeNsrxaFaQw" in the username box.

That makes sense. My next problem is that I can't put that much in the channel field. I can only get up to the "...4Db". I guess my only other option is to put a link in my signature.

You'll just have to use your signature then, unless pjk sees this post and increases the max length of the text box.

I've updated it so it accepts up to 40 characters. Now the link works.
