So for example, if your username is Mahesh, your display name must be Mahesh but with any letter in the name being lowercase or uppercase. The accepted display names include mAhesh, MAHESH, mahESH, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>When you change your Twitch username, your profile <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/356563\/what-is-a-url-uniform-resource-locator\/\">URL also changes. The old profile URL won\u2019t redirect to the new one, so you will have to let people know of your new profile and manually update any links. You will also need a verified email address in your Twitch account to change your username.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, you can only change your username once every 60 days. If you earn revenue from Twitch, your revenues will be delayed on the day you change your username.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_Your_Twitch_Name_on_Desktop\"><\/span>Change Your Twitch Name on Desktop<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To change your Twitch name on your Windows, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook computer, use the Twitch website or the Twitch desktop <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>.
