What is a YouTube Channel ID?

Every YouTube channel is assigned a permanent, unique 24-character alphanumeric string that starts with UC (for example, UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw). Even when creators change their channel name, handle, or custom URL, the Channel ID remains identical and immutable forever.

Supported Link & Identifier Formats

  • Channel Handles: @channelhandle or youtube.com/@channelhandle
  • Direct Channel ID URLs: youtube.com/channel/UCxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  • Custom Channel URLs: youtube.com/c/ChannelName
  • Legacy User URLs: youtube.com/user/Username
  • Direct Channel ID: Raw 24-character ID starting with UC
