You can use a shortened version of your custom URL to redirect your audience to another channel. In the Redirect URL field, enter the URL of the website that your redirect URL should lead to.
For example, if your URL is www.youtube.com/c/YouTubeCreators
, you can have your shortened URL (www.youtube.com/YouTubeCreators
) send viewers to the YouTube Nation channel by entering www.youtube.com/user/youtubenation
or www.youtube.com/channel/UCUD4yDVyM54QpfqGJX4S7ng
in the Redirect URL field.
You can temporarily make your channel hidden by selecting this option. Your videos, playlists, and channel details will no longer be visible to viewers.

- Your community posts
You can make your channel visible again anytime and your content will be public to viewers.
Note: Channel visibility is available to partners and advertisers who have this feature turned on by their partner manager or sales representative.
