The channel URL and channel name are both related to your YouTube channel, but they serve different purposes.
A channel name is the name that you choose to give to your YouTube channel. It is the name that appears on your channel page, in search results, and on your videos. It is a way to brand your channel and make it easily recognizable to your audience. You can change your channel name at any time, but keep in mind that it may take some time for the new name to appear in search results.
On the other hand, a channel URL is the web address that leads to your channel page. It is a unique identifier for your channel and is created automatically by YouTube when you create a new channel. The URL typically includes your channel name or a variation of it, but it may also include random numbers or letters. You cannot change your channel URL, but you can customize it if you meet certain eligibility criteria. A custom URL is shorter and easier to remember than the default URL.
In summary, while the channel name is a way to brand your channel and make it recognizable, the channel URL is a unique identifier that leads to your channel page.
