Social Network Link to YouTube Impossible to Use

When trying to add your YouTube channel to your Social Networks, it does not work. It requires the link to have the ‘/user’ in the link WHICH ONLY LEGACY YOUTUBE ACCOUNTS HAVE. If your YouTube account isn’t legacy, then it is impossible to link it in the Social Networks.

Example link that Roblox provides:

My channel link that I try to put in:

robloxScreenshot2711×73 5.87 KB

What Roblox converts the link to after I save my changes and refresh:

The link that Roblox converts it to is invalid and will result in the 404 not found page.

This is a very simple fix. Just let us put an actual YouTube link and not a legacy YouTube link.

I see the problem that is occurring. To do this your going to have to go to your channel in Youtube, but you must be logged in to get the right url link to your channel. In the url link it should not have your channel name it should be just random letters. If it has your channel name in the url your going to need to click your channel icon on the right side of the screen and then click view your channel.

Thank you. Using the link with your channel ID works, I didn’t even think of doing that as I assumed that if it didn’t work with your channel’s handle that it was broken in general.
