YouTube users can now change their nicknames to Google+ profiles

It seems that the YouTube service and the social network Google+ have become even closer. Google is trying to make its social network more and more popular, and for this it comes up with various methods, including the most unusual ones. This time, the developers added a feature that allows you to change your nickname on YouTube (like black_wolf or poor_AnGeL there) to your Google+ account.

Since March of this year, developers have opened this opportunity for those who only decided to register on YouTube, but already have a Google+ account. Now, existing Google video service users can change their nicknames to their Google+ profile name. So on YouTube, real usernames will now appear with real photos (if desired). Let me remind you that this is not an obligation, but only an option.

If you want to replace your nickname with your Google+ account name, but you don’t want the previously uploaded materials and left comments to show with the changed name (Google+ profile), there is such a possibility. The system provides the user with a choice of what to change and what not. Once again it is worth emphasizing that the change of nickname is not obligatory, if a request for a change appears, you can simply reject it. In the future, the corporation promises not to introduce a mandatory shift.

However, the company's desire to integrate the social network Google+ into all its products is becoming increasingly pronounced. But in this it was possible and no doubt, it would be unlikely that Google would create a social network just for fun.
