How to Change Your Handle

Change Your hoo.be Handle

Available on: Pro, Premium

Note: Basic users select their handle during onboarding and cannot change it later.

Your hoo.be handle determines your profile URL (for example, hoo.be/tombrady). Updating your handle allows you to better match your page to your brand, name, or content focus as it evolves.

Because your handle is part of your public link, changes should be made thoughtfully.

  1. Log in to your hoo.be account at hoo.be/login
