YouTube Channel ID Finder is a free and easy to use tool which helps you find channel Ids with ease. Each YouTube channel has an unique id mostly known as Channel ID which serves as a permanent and unchanging reference to the channel. This ID is often used for technical purposes such as API, embedding videos or managing livesteams.
When you're starting a brand new YouTube channel, it will have a channel name and ID. Your first channel ID is automatically generated from YouTube. It will have 24 randomly selected characters. However, when you gain your first 100 followers / subscribers YouTube allows you to make a personalized YouTube channel name. Therefore, a channel's name and ID are significantly different from each other. If you want to find out about a user's channel ID, you can use our free tool “YouTube Channel ID” and find it in seconds.

What is the YouTube Channel ID?
All channels on YouTube have unique Channel Ids. It is used from YouTube and is a unique way to identify your channel. You can notice that the link to your channel includes this identifier.
It is generated when you're starting a YouTube channel and it cannot be replaced. Even when the creator is customizing his URL or Handle.

What is a YouTube Channel Handle?
In 2022 YouTube presents Handle. It's a feature similar to usernames on other social networks. Handles allows all creators to have an unique identifier that starts with @ symbol and can be used in tagging in comments, titles or YouTube Shorts. Handles provides easy to remember and personalize links to your channel, allowing notifications when someone is tagged.
Maybe you have noticed that most of the bigger channels on YouTube don't have visible Channel IDs on their YouTube URL. It's because when you reach 100 followers, YouTube allows you to create a handle which replaces the channel's ID in your URL and it'll look something like this:
