Frequently Asked Questions
What is a YouTube Channel ID?
A Channel ID is a unique identifier starting with "UC" followed by 22 characters. It's used in API requests and never changes, unlike custom URLs.
What URL formats are supported?
We support: youtube.com/channel/UCxxx, youtube.com/@handle, youtube.com/c/customname, and youtube.com/user/username.
Why do I need a Channel ID?
Channel IDs are required for YouTube API calls, RSS feeds, and many third-party tools. They're more reliable than custom URLs.
Can I find my own Channel ID?
Yes! Just paste your channel URL or go to YouTube Studio > Settings > Channel > Advanced settings to find your Channel ID.
