Olá,
Preciso usar outro e-mail nessa conta de #LocalGuide, pois essa conta ficou com o nome do meu canal no youtube. Não consigo alterar para o meu nome!
Desejo alterar o e-mail para assim poder trocar o nome!

I’m sorry, @PedroDebarba
It is not possible to transfer your contributions to another account.
I believe this is to prevent local guides from trade contributions.
Please consider if using mail filters and automatic forwards could solve your problem. Else you need to start over earning points and levels.
Fingers crossed

Hello @PedroDebarba
As explained already, your email id is now tagged to your LG account and Connect.
To change that, you will have to exit the program and signup using another ID. However, you will be losing all the contributions to date.
Nevertheless, you can choose a different name for your email ID. That can be something different from your YouTube channel name.
In this way, I have adopted a two-syllable name for my Gmail ID.
When we use Gmail, people recognise us by the email ID irrespective of what name we assign to that ID and hence that doesn’t cause any difficulty.
Anyway, you can display your name in the signature at the bottom and that will remove any ambiguity.
You can change the name on your gmail any time you want @PedroDebarba but it will impact Maps and YouTube.

Hello @PedroDebarba,
As our members already explained, you cannot change the email address linked to your Local Guides account and transfer contributions and points. If you wish, you can exit the program with the current account from the settings page and join again with the new one.
Please also keep in mind that the participation to the program is allowed only to individuals and not for organizations. For any reason it should be considered as a promotional tool for your channel or for any other entity, so your username on Connect and on Maps should only reflect yourself as a person. Please take a moment to carefully read the Local Guides program rules for more detailed information of what is permitted.
I also wanted to let you know that I am marking my answer as solution, in order to be beneficial for other members with the same question.
