How to find a channel ID

We can find the channel ID of any YouTube channel by following the steps below. For this demonstration, we’ll use the Educative Sessions YouTube channel.

Step 1: Search for the channel

Go to the YouTube website and search for a channel whose ID you want to find.

Step 2: Select the channel

You’ll find the channel name and icon in the search results, as shown in the image below. Click it and move to the next page.

Step 3: Locating the channel ID

On the channel homepage, go to the URL. The channel ID will be the value after the channel parameter.

Copy this ID and use it anywhere you want in the course. Follow the same steps if you want to find the channel ID of any other YouTube channel.
