anyone actually changing your youtube name to a username successfully?

Every guide on changing your youtube name to a username says something different. It looked like it was working for about two weeks and then flattened out. Has anyone got a process that holds up? Happy to share more detail if it helps.

Are you after the handle (the @name in the URL) or the display name? They're separate. Both live in YouTube Studio > Customization > Basic info. The handle has to be unique, the display name doesn't. If the one you want is taken, there's no way to claim it off someone else.
