Adding your X (formerly Twitter) profile — or any social link — to your YouTube channel takes a couple of minutes through YouTube Studio.
How to Add the Link
- Go to YouTube Studio and click Customization in the left menu.
- Select the Basic info (or Profile) tab.
- Scroll to the Links section and click Add link.
- Enter a title (e.g., “X”) and paste your profile URL.
- Click Publish to save.
You can add up to 14 links this way, and YouTube automatically shows the matching platform icon for recognized services.
Showing Links on Your Banner
In the same Links section, use the Links on banner option to choose which links (up to 5) appear directly on your channel banner rather than only in your About section — you’ll need a channel banner image uploaded first for this to be visible.
Why Add Social Links?
Cross-linking your platforms makes it easy for viewers who find you on YouTube to follow you elsewhere, and vice versa — useful if you post different types of content (behind-the-scenes, shorter clips, community updates) on other platforms.
