Everything You Need to Know

What is a YouTube Channel ID?▼

A YouTube Channel ID is a unique 24-character alphanumeric string starting with "UC" (e.g. UCX6OQ3DkcsbYNE6H8uQQuVA) that permanently identifies a YouTube channel regardless of how often the channel name or handle changes.

Why do I need a YouTube Channel ID?▼

You need the UC Channel ID for YouTube Data API integrations, setting up RSS feeds in Discord/Slack bots, configuring third-party streaming tools (OBS, Streamlabs), and developer webhooks.

How do I find a channel ID from a YouTube handle (@username)?▼

Simply paste the @handle into our search bar. Our tool automatically inspects the channel canonical tag and returns the official 24-character UC ID instantly.
