I have logged in using gmail for youtube. I have uploaded some videos from my account.

Now what should be done if want to change a name for youtube ?

I have changed google plus name which is connected to youtube. There it changes a name even it changes name when i go to profile in youtube. If I go to my profile it displays updated username that it "USERNAME uploaded a video". But if I search in youtube without logging into my account then it displays old name as uploader of the video.

I don't know why this happens ? I thought if we change a name in google+ it will automatically update it everywhere where ever we have used gmail account to login.

WRT to search results, let Google update its search results, once done, you should be able to get the new name appearing in search results. Indexing and updating results takes a bit of a time.

I was reading https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2657964 and in the end it says: Note that it may take some time for the changes to update throughout the site.

I guess all you need to do is wait for sometime.
