Dailymotion Username Checker

By WhatsMyName Apps · Reviewed October 18, 2026 · Editorial policy

You pick a Dailymotion username when you create your account, and it sets your profile link, dailymotion.com/name. Enter a name below for a Dailymotion username search: we ask Dailymotion whether a user has it, then you can read the rules before you pick one.

Dailymotion username rules

Length	3 to 27 characters.
Allowed characters	Lowercase letters, numbers, dots (.) and underscores (_). No other symbols.
First character	Must be a letter or a number.
Uniqueness	Each username belongs to one account.
Change limit	Once every 7 days. Changing it also changes your profile URL.

How to check a Dailymotion username

Type the username in lowercase. Names with capitals, spaces or symbols other than dots and underscores cannot exist.
We ask Dailymotion's public user API for that name. A user record means it is taken, and a 404 error means no user has it.
The result links to dailymotion.com/user/<name>, where you can see the channel.
The final test is the Username field in your account settings, which only saves a free name.

Dailymotion username taken? What you can do

Add a dot or underscore between words: mia.films, mia_tv.
Start with a letter or number, never a dot or underscore.
Wait a week if you are mid-rename. Dailymotion only allows one change every 7 days.
If a channel uses your brand or pretends to be you, report it to Dailymotion.

How to change your Dailymotion username

In Dailymotion Studio, open Account settings, then Account, then Profile details. With several profiles: Profiles, then Edit.
Change the Username field and click Save.
In the app: open your profile, tap the pencil icon by your avatar, edit Username and tap Save.
Your profile URL changes too, so update links you shared.

Reserved and restricted names

Dailymotion does not publish a list of reserved usernames.

Tips

Your username and profile URL change together, so a rename can break links to your channel.
Use the same name across video sites where the rules allow it. Dailymotion allows dots and underscores but no capitals.
Plan renames ahead. You need to wait 7 days before you can change it again.

How do I search for someone on Dailymotion by username?
