Add custom URL for youtube channel

[gdams]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to raise this but the Node.js YouTube channel is currently at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQPYJluYC_sn_Qz_XE-YbTQ

We should be able to get a custom URL as I believe that we meet all of the criteria laid out here.

Sounds like it just needs someone with access to do it. I think @mhdawson has access (not sure who else).

FWIW, wanted to say that admin access is needed for this. Unfortunately nodejs is taken, but it has very low activity and may be able to be gotten. I've discussed this in the past with @ZibbyKeaton of the Node.js Foundation, and we weren't able to land on anything concrete. That said, I'd very much like to see this get updated.

Going to tag @nodejs/community-committee on this, as I think it's an important thing for us to do as a community with a rather large amount of video content.

Yeah, this was something that I tried to solve awhile back, but never heard back from YouTube help - I will send them another note on this. Here's where I got stuck in case anyone knows how to solve this problem: I created a custom URL for the channel: http://www.youtube.com/c/nodejs-foundation, however when you search it uses the other URL and just automatically populates that URL vs our custom URL.

I just tested and https://www.youtube.com/nodejs-foundation works as well (and hence https://www.youtube.com/nodejs-foundation/live) but clicking on the channel name on any screen does bring up https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQPYJluYC_sn_Qz_XE-YbTQ

From what I've seen on the youtube site that's the best we can do. I'm closing this issue for now, feel free to comment or reopen if I'm wrong
