How To: Edit Your Channel Name, Handle, or Description

Updated today

How Do I Change My Username on Splash?

You can easily update your channel details, such as your handle/username, channel name, or description, right from your account settings. Just follow the steps below:

Please note that usernames and handles must be unique; otherwise, a different variation must be chosen.

Additionally, if you're participating in contests or pools, be aware that your updated username might not automatically reflect in contest entries, and you may need to manually synchronize these changes.

If you’d like to update your username, channel name, or account description on Splash, follow these simple steps. This also includes updates to contest entry names, which require an additional process for synchronization.


Step 1: Go to your Profile

  1. Click on the profile icon in the top right corner of the website or the top left corner of the app.

  2. Once on the My Account page > My Profile



Step 3: Make Your Updates

  1. From here, you can update:

    • Channel Name

    • Handle/Username

    • Channel Description

  2. Usernames and handles must be unique; select a different variation if it's in use.



Step 4: Save Your Changes

  1. Once you’ve made your updates, click “Save Changes” to apply them.

  2. Your account will be updated immediately. These updates will also reflect across all Splash accounts or activities associated with your username, such as pools or teams.



Limitations

  • Handle Uniqueness: Usernames and handles must be unique. If the one you prefer is already in use, choose a different variation.

  • Cross-Account Impact: Your changes will be reflected across all associated Splash accounts or activities where your username appears, like pools or teams.

  • Contest Name Updates: Name updates made to profiles may not automatically synchronize with contest entries and might require manual updates in the contest settings.

Updating Contest Entries

For step-by-step guidance on updating contest entry names as a member or a pool commissioner, refer to the respective sections in Splash Help Documentation.

If you run into any issues while editing your channel, feel free to contact our support team, we’re happy to help! For issues related to contest entry names not reflecting updates, ensure to manually edit entry names in the contest or consult support for additional troubleshooting steps.
