When adding regulars to youtube, nightbot still requires the channel ID to add people. which looks something like this: youtube[dot]com/channel/[user id]. While its still possible to access the channel ID by clicking on the share button on someone's youtube, youtube has switched to using @'s (or handles) instead of these ID's (they are what appears in the address bar, like this: youtube[dot]com/@[user]).

I was wondering if nightbot could add support for adding people to the regulars list via their @/handle. It would speed up the process of adding people a lot.

Thanks for the feedback. It was intended for them to be supported but it looks like our process for resolving handles and custom urls broke. We've deployed a fix for this issue and it should now be fixed. Please let us know if you still see any issues referencing users by handle.
