I want to post a video I have on youtube but my youtube name is, my actual name and I dont want it displayed. Is there a way to change it? One video is for here and the other is for a work client who may use it in a town meeting and there is no way in hell I want my name on the screen at one of those.

this might help, " https://support.google.com/youtube/answer… ". Otherwise, make a new channel.

I would make a separate channel. Just make it your oppo name.

I use a separate youtube account from my gmail anyways. This is because I had a youtube account before it was bought by google. But, you should still be able to make a different channel and title it whatever you would like. I am sure you can also just embed the video someplace else so that it doesn't show any channel title also.

yea it seems like if I do that then it changes my google+ as well and it still has them linked. I didn;t really want to have to upload the stuff again, and i'd have to do it twice, once for the client's videos and another for the oppo videos

I somehow have my gmail (actual name) and my Youtube account (this name) linked but displayed differently. It was an option or something because they were independent of each other until Google bought Youtube.

Just make a new Youtube account and see if you can do the same, somehow.

i need a second email address to do a new channel and i dont have another. I wish you could just chose not to display your name.

Make another email, it's not too hard. Just use your Oppo name @gmail.com

So you just want the YouTube name to be changed? Not Google+?

Funktheduck > OPPOsaurus WRX

Yeah. Just create a new account on google like thebigbossyboss said. It can be your dedicated internet post email and YouTube. No cross contamination with work.

I think i'd have to do it twice, once for work and once for oppo. It would nice if I could keep both out of my family stuff. (i dont need people digging thru pictures of my kids and stuff.

Yeah, it's technology's way of being mainstream and fluent, so it's easy to read. I don't like using my real nane, ever. It's why my username is always zeontestpilot on any forum, website, gaming tag, etc.

It may just be best to create a new account. Something you can just stick with. I've been using zeontestpilot as an alias for over 10 years, :).

If it's that much of a concern it would definitely be worth the extra hassle

That's dumb...is your email address your name? I'm going to play around in the settings and see if I can find anything.

Work blocks Google+ but it looks like I have a choice for either my name or my user account...sorry I can't help bud.

my email is first initial with my last name. I think what I want just isn;t possible without creating multiple acounts
