What is a YouTube Channel ID?
A YouTube Channel ID is a unique 24-character identifier beginning with UC that Google assigns to every channel. Unlike handles or usernames (which creators can change at any time), a Channel ID is permanent and never changes.
When is it used?

- Integrating third-party widgets, stats trackers, and live counters
- Setting up OBS browser sources or streaming plugins
- Building RSS feeds for specific channels
