Streaming on YouTube will give you access to millions of videos online. You can find thousands of recommendations and content in a variety of genres. If you love watching new videos from the same channel, it helps to know the channel ID. That way, you know where to go the next time you want to watch the same videos as before or discover new ones.
Is there a difference between YouTube channel ID and username? Some users have the same channel ID and username. It works if you have only one YouTube channel. But, if you need to expand and create more channels, you can use a different channel ID.
Your username is your identity for your YouTube account. The channel ID or name is your identity for your YouTube channel. You or your followers can use it to look at your channel on social media apps or services. Each channel ID is unique.
