4) Test the Added Links

Once the above steps are done from your side, it’s time to test whether the links are re-directing properly from your channel.

On the Basic info page itself, you may find the option called View Channel; click that one (remember after you did the above steps).

A new window will open with your channel home page. You will see the added links on your YouTube art, like the one below.


Note: Sometimes, clearing the cache and reflecting your added links on the channel page takes time. Please copy the channel URL and try it once in Incognito mode to verify.
