Paste a @handle, custom URL, or video link and get the channel ID, RSS feed, uploads playlist, and subscribe link instantly.
Paste a channel URL, @handle, custom URL, or any video link — get the channel ID, RSS feed, and uploads playlist.
Works with @handles, /channel/, /c/, /user/ URLs, and video or Shorts links.
A YouTube channel ID finder converts a @handle, custom URL, or video link into the channel's permanent ID — the 24-character code starting with UC. Our free tool also gives you the channel's RSS feed, all-uploads playlist, and a subscribe link with confirmation, each with a one-click copy button.
Since YouTube moved to @handles, the permanent channel ID (the one starting with "UC") is hidden from most channel pages. Developers, marketers, and creators still need it for RSS feeds, embeds, analytics tools, and API integrations. This YouTube channel ID finder gets it for you in one step.
Paste any of these: youtube.com/@handle, youtube.com/c/name, youtube.com/user/name, a channel URL, or a link to any video or Short from the channel. The tool resolves it to the 24-character channel ID.
For your own channel, you can also find it signed in at YouTube Settings → Advanced settings.
Every channel has an RSS feed at youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=ID that lists its latest uploads — useful for feed readers and automations. The uploads playlist (ID starting with "UU") contains every public video in one playlist.
Adding ?sub_confirmation=1 to a channel URL opens a subscribe prompt when someone clicks it. Use it in video descriptions, email signatures, and your website to make subscribing one click.
