How to find a YouTube channel ID
Find the channel ID
Paste the video URL, select Find channel ID and complete verification if prompted.
Copy the right detail
Copy the channel ID, channel URL or available handle URL individually, or export the full set as TXT.
USE THE RIGHT IDENTIFIER
Keep channel names, IDs and handles clear
A channel name, a channel ID and an @handle are different fields. Check which one your workflow requires, then copy that exact value. Missing information is marked as unavailable rather than inferred from the name.
View the video’s metadata and statisticsKeep source records consistent
Save a channel ID alongside the video URL when organizing creator references or research notes.
Prepare an identifier for a workflow
Copy the channel ID when a form or integration specifically requests it. A display name or @handle is a separate value.
YouTube channel ID finder FAQ
Is the YouTube channel ID finder free?
Yes. You can look up, copy and export available channel details without signing up or spending AI credits.
Can I paste a channel link or an @handle?
Use a YouTube video link from that channel. This tool does not accept channel homepage URLs, @handles or channel-name searches as input.
Which channel details can I find?
The result can include the channel name, channel ID, channel URL, handle and handle URL, depending on the metadata available for the video.
Is a channel ID the same as a video ID?
No. The channel ID identifies the channel associated with the upload. The video ID identifies a specific video. Use the field requested by your form or workflow.
How do I copy the channel ID?
After the lookup, use Copy channel ID beside the channel ID result. You can also copy all available channel details together or download them as a TXT file.
Why is the channel ID or handle unavailable?
Some channel fields may not be present in the retrieved metadata. Private, removed or restricted videos may also be inaccessible. Try another public video from the channel if the lookup fails.
