Is it worth creating a channel onYouTube
Hello, friends and colleagues! This article is definitely for beginners. Although, sometimes even experienced users cannot always answer the question of how to find out the link to your YouTube channel.
The fact is that not so long ago, we, within the framework of the project Academy of earnings for those over 50, held a marathon on the topic of teaching computer literacy. This included lessons on creating and designing your own YouTube channel.
And this is understandable. If a person is going to earn money via the Internet, he must have his own resource on YouTube, since YouTube is the most popular hosting for storing and playing videos.
If you are making money online, then your own YouTube channel is a must. Using this tool, you can promote your blog and information products and position yourself as an expert. By monetizing your channel and gaining a certain number of subscribers, you can earn money from advertising.
The most amazing thing is that none of those who came to the marathon, and this is more than 1000 people, could correctly answer the question of how to make a link to your YouTube channel.
When I decided to write this article, I began to study materials on this issue and was surprised. Many instructions suggest the following algorithm.
We go to YouTube through the Google Chrome browser in our account.
The YouTube home page will open. You need to go to your channel. It is necessary. Otherwise, you will send your friends a link to the main page, and not to yours.
To go to your YouTube account, you need to left-click on the icon of your avatar in the upper right corner of the screen, and select “My Channel” from the drop-down menu.
This is not a very convenient method; you can delete the end of the link incorrectly. To prevent this from happening, there is a more reliable way.
Where to find the link to your YouTube channel. Method one
Let's go to our channel. The algorithm is described above. While on your channel, click again on the avatar on the right and select “Creative Studio” from the drop-down menu. The main panel window appears. Click “View channel”
And the required link already appears in the address bar.
Where to find the link to your YouTube channel. Method two
Let's go to our resource. Click on the “Creative Studio” item and click on the avatar on the right again. A small window appears where we select “Settings”.
In the settings we select the channel identifier directly.
If you look carefully, the specified identifier is the basis of the link to your channel.
This topic is discussed in more detail in the video lesson.
Conclusion
Video is a leading information component these days. Having your own channel on such a popular resource as YouTube means being a leader in the niche in which you are developing. In order for friends, subscribers from social networks and from your blog to come to your channel, they must know the URL - the address of your channel. Now I hope you understand how to find out the link to your YouTube channel and send it to everyone who is interested in your topic. Good luck, friends!

How to find out the ID of your or someone else's page on YouTube:
Open the desired account, for example: https://www.youtube.com/user/AlexHandle, then open any video from the channel, then under the video, under views, click on the channel name, in my case it is “Handle Video”. After which the main channel opens again, but in the address bar the link is already direct: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXD8fPuwMfizCmgMtc9KAqQ
How to get a short link to a channel:
Alas, from the original link you can only remove the unnecessary “www.” and for almost all resources you can do without “https://”; it is no longer abbreviated.
Was: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXD8fPuwMfizCmgMtc9KAqQ
Became: youtube.com/channel/UCXD8fPuwMfizCmgMtc9 KAqQ
But here’s the name link you can shorten a little more:
Was: https://www.youtube.com/user/AlexHandle
Became: youtube.com/AlexHandle
We use this type of code on our resources:
youtube.com/AlexHandle
Causes. Firstly, it is visually better for a page visitor to see a short real link, and secondly, this link leads to the original link. Thus, even if the owner of the channel wants to change the channel’s name link after a while, the link on our pages will remain working since it leads to a permanent link that will not change in any way and the links in our articles will always be relevant.

Know ID
(identifier)
-channel may be needed for various purposes. This includes the use of browser extensions that require it, which offer additional capabilities for working with video hosting. And implementation - content for websites. And adding channels to RSS-subscriptions. So, for example, for any -channel, regardless of whether we are subscribed to it or not within the video hosting, you can subscribe by RSS
.
And monitor new arrivals of content in the view of the used RSS-reader. To do this, in the input field RSS-addresses must be entered:
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=хххххххх
And instead of meaning "xxxxxxxxxx" substitute, accordingly, a unique set of characters for a specific channel on YouTube.
Where can I get this character set?
How to find out your YouTube channel ID
To find out your YouTube channel ID, you need to log in to the video hosting website and go to your account settings.
There is an option in the account information section.
This option displays additional information, including - our ID.
Mine ID You can also find out in the address bar of your browser by going to the main page of your channel.
How to find out someone else's channel ID on YouTube
Foreign channel IDs "are being mined" on their home pages.
However, we will not see a unique set of characters in every case. On some channels, when you go to the main page, you will find their names in Latin in the address bar.
How can you find out someone else's ID in this case? You need to open any link - the first video you come across, tabs "Video", "Playlists" and so on. And then go back to the main page of the channel by clicking on its name.
And now the address bar will already display ID, not the name in Latin.
YouTube channel ID (Channel ID) is a personal 16 or 24-digit code required to connect the channel with third-party services and to organize a unique link leading to the page of each YouTube author. The identifier appeared along with the release of video hosting - in 2006. But, as now, the ID is assigned automatically, and the combination of symbols is random and does not depend on the region, nor on the selected nickname or topic. Moreover, not every author or blogger knows about the YouTube channel ID and why such a combination is needed.
Why do you need a channel ID?
YouTube's personal channel ID is primarily requested when using third-party browser extensions that enable additional features, such as collecting independent statistics on views and subscriptions. In addition to plugins, ID is also used in the following scenarios:
- Organization of RSS feed. It is impossible to subscribe to a kind of newsletter directly without using the YouTube channel ID in some plugins, especially those that offer extensive functionality, but with minimal computer requirements.
- Implementation of a YouTube channel. On entertainment and information websites, it is easy to attach a link to a YouTube channel for subsequent promotion. But, as practice suggests, without entering a personal ID, the implementation procedure will end in error.
- Advertising. The identifier is also useful in situations where you want to order advertising, but exchanges or sponsors require a full information description, starting from the topic and nickname and ending with prices and ID.
And about that, see the corresponding article.
How to find out ID
The video hosting site offers two ways to view information about the YouTube channel ID:
You can find out information about that if you follow the link.
