[not LV]Youtube profile link
Posted: November 26th, 2021, 1:30 pm
There's a problem with the way the youtube profile link is set up.
Whatever you put in the field is appended to https://youtube.com/user
In my case, since I have a channel, my actual direct youtube link is https://youtube.com/dsbaudio
I have sought out my user ID via advanced setting on youtube, however this does not work for two reasons:
firstly, youtube must have changed or deleted their linking system for user IDs, since appending my user ID to https://youtube.com.user/<<USER ID>> in a web browser does not work
secondly, the profile field will not accept my user ID anyway because it does not start with an alphabetical character.
I would suggest making the youtube link field an open field in which to paste the complete channel or user account address to cover different scenarios and also to future-proof against any changes youtube may make to their web structure.
