Attempt to use a YT handle for your channel URL results in a error

Roblox, why did you not fix it after like 6 months???

This is STILL an issue, experimenting around with the link, it’s specifically the “@” that is causing the link to be invalid.

I cannot get any variation of a YouTube link to work. This is frustrating that this has gone unresolved for so long.

I cannot use the link with the channel ID. I cannot use a link to a playlist. I can’t even add YouTube.com/user/roblox as my YouTube social link. Nothing works anymore.

you need to put in this format ( or at least it worked for me )

https://youtube.com/c/{user}

in my case: https://youtube.com/c/im_Magni

This does not work for smaller / newer channels as they are not elegible for a url such as this one.

This is outside the scope of this particular bug report which specifically refers to YouTube handles, perhaps consider supporting this topic: No longer permitted to save YouTube social links

Until Roblox fixes it, you can solve this as follows:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/your-channel-ID

You can get your channel ID in the “About” tab by clicking the share button.
ezgif.com-video-to-gif (1)

Seems like there might’ve been an attempted fix for this. Now it doesn’t cause an error, but it adds /user/ to the URL between the domain and the handle (which is a 404 page on YouTube). Note that https://www.youtube.com/user by itself redirects to the channel of the signed-in user (or prompts you to sign in).

Youtube links are no longer accepted due to a Youtube change with how they handle Youtube channel URLs. Would love to have this fixed so I can link to a brands Youtube Channel.

Hello! We believe this should be fixed now. Could you please help to verify?

Thanks!

This has been fixed, thank you!

However, this hasn’t been fixed for group social links:

Thanks for the link, we will follow up on that!

In the meantime, you can currently use the Creator Dashboard to update your group’s Youtube link. Please let me know if that works for you!

This works, thank you!

Hey! Although this was fixed for social links, it wasn’t fixed for actual Roblox profiles. Could you fix it there, too?

Works for me:

It’s hacky but using double slashes saves fine :+1: i.e. https://youtube.com//@handle

Now try going to your Youtube page from your profile, it won’t work

Hi! We are on it :saluting_face:
This will take a little longer to fix than the Groups Social Link.
We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve the issue!

Also, this issue should now be fixed for Group Social Links from Roblox.com (instead of Creator Dashboard).

Thanks for reporting!
