How to find a Youtube Channel URL

To allow or deny a YouTube Channel you will first need to find the full channel URL which is usually different than the shorter custom URL that’s often shared. 

For example:

User-friendly custom URL: https://www.youtube.com/c/creatoracademy
Full Channel URL including ID: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkRfArvrzheW2E7b6SVT7vQ

Both the URLs open the same page on YouTube and the full URL is always in the format -  /channel/<CHANNEL-ID>.

The custom URL can be modified by the channel owner but the Channel Id URL will always stay the same.

You can find the channel id by going to the Share Channel option under Channel Details as in the video below.
