How do I check a YouTube channel’s stats?
It takes three steps. The tool reads only public channel data, so no login is needed.
- 1Copy the channel link. Open the YouTube channel and copy its URL or @handle.
- 2Paste and look up. Paste it into the field above and select "Get stats".
- 3Read the full breakdown. The tool returns subscribers, views, videos, channel age, country, and the channel ID.
How do I find a YouTube channel ID?
The channel ID is the 24-character string that starts with "UC", and it is the only identifier YouTube guarantees will never change. A handle like @mkbhd can be changed by the owner; a custom URL can be reassigned; the channel ID is permanent. Any tool or API that works with a channel needs the ID, which is why finding it matters.
Modern YouTube URLs hide the ID behind handles, so you usually cannot read it from the address bar. Paste the channel’s URL or handle into the tool above and the result includes the channel ID, ready to copy.
What do these stats actually tell you?
Lifetime stats give a quick sense of scale but not of momentum. Total views and video count tell you how big a catalogue is; average views per video hints at how well it performs, though one viral hit can distort it and years of old uploads drag it down. Channel age sets context: 500,000 subscribers in two years is a very different story from 500,000 in twelve. For a real read on whether a channel is growing, you need recent data, the last 30 to 90 days of views and uploads, which is what Fuse tracks per channel. Use these lifetime stats to size a channel, then look at recent performance to judge it.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find a YouTube channel’s stats?+
Paste the channel’s URL, @handle, or channel ID into the tool above and select "Get stats". It returns subscribers, total views, video count, average views per video, channel creation date, channel age, country, and the channel ID.
How do I find a YouTube channel ID?+
Paste the channel’s URL or @handle into this tool. The result includes the 24-character channel ID, which always begins with "UC". The channel ID is the stable identifier YouTube uses internally, unlike a handle or custom URL, which can change.
What is the difference between a channel ID and a handle?+
A handle (like @mkbhd) is a human-readable name the owner can change. A channel ID (like UCBJycsmduvYEL83R_U4JriQ) is permanent and unique. Tools and APIs identify channels by ID; people use handles.
When was a YouTube channel created?+
The tool shows the channel creation date and the channel’s age in years. The creation date comes from YouTube’s public channel data.
What does "average views per video" tell me?+
It is total views divided by total videos: a rough lifetime average. It is a blunt measure (one viral video skews it, and old uploads drag it down) but it gives a quick sense of how a channel’s catalogue performs overall.
Can I look up any channel?+
Yes, any public channel. Subscriber, view, and video counts and the creation date are public data. You do not need to own the channel.
Why is a subscriber count shown as "Hidden"?+
The channel owner has hidden the subscriber count in YouTube settings. The other stats still display; only the subscriber number is withheld.
Is this free?+
Yes. No account, no signup, no limit on lookups.
Lifetime stats are a snapshot. See the trend.
This tool shows a channel’s lifetime totals. Fuse tracks recent growth, ranks a channel by percentile against thousands of creators in its niche, and turns the data into a content strategy.
