YouTube wants my real name - what's up

[Marshall]

I use it for private education pieces to share with specific clients and don't want search engines to tie me up. I also use for our church. Is there some reason they want us to now use real name, and if so, are there some alternatives to them that might be better to use for private (linked) use? Thanks....

why cant you just make up a name?

Or use someone else's.

You can also permanently decline using your real name.

Many thanks orangeblueorangeblue

Does anyone know if there is a "youtube like" facility for posting like short videos?

So you first type in your real name, and then afterwards you can refuse to use it in a new box?

No, it asks you to enter your real name, you can decline that.
