How to Find your Youtube Channel URL Link 2025
Hi — I'm Karl Bro. If you want to quickly find and share the link to your YouTube channel so you can get more subscribers, this guide walks you through three simple ways to grab your channel URL and two bonus tactics that helped us grow to over 19,000 subscribers and 5+ million views. Follow these steps and you’ll be sharing your channel like a pro in minutes.
Quick overview
- Find your channel link from the YouTube homepage (address bar)
- Get the original or custom URL inside YouTube Studio > Customization
- Use your channel handle link (under your channel name)
- Bonus #1: Use targeted, value-adding comments to drive viewers to your channel
- Bonus #2: Add ?sub_confirmation=1 to your channel URL to prompt subscription
Three ways to find your YouTube channel URL
1) From the YouTube homepage (fastest)
- Make sure you’re signed into the channel you want to share.
- Click your channel icon in the top-right corner and select View your channel.
- Copy the full URL from your browser’s address bar — that’s the direct link to your channel homepage.
This works instantly and is perfect when you just need a quick link to paste into messages, social profiles, or descriptions.
2) From YouTube Studio (original or custom URL)
- Click your channel icon and open YouTube Studio.
- In the left menu go to Customization and then the Basic info / Profile tab area.
- Below your channel description you’ll see the original channel URL with a copy button — click it to copy the full link.
- If your channel has a custom URL, it will appear just below the original link with its own copy button for a shorter, cleaner link.
Use these links when you want the canonical address for your channel or when you prefer the cleaner custom URL for sharing.
3) Using your channel handle
- Your channel handle appears under your channel name (you can edit it).
- Change the handle if you need to, then click Publish — the link shown under the handle updates.
- Copy that handle-based URL and test it in a new tab to make sure it goes to the right channel.
Handles are handy because they’re short and memorable (for example: https://www.youtube.com/@YourHandle).
Two bonus tips to get more subscribers (do these)
Bonus tip #1 — Use comments to put your channel link in front of your ideal viewer
Search YouTube for queries your target audience would use, then open videos those viewers are actually watching. On those videos:
- Watch the video and leave an engaging, value-adding comment — something that contributes to the conversation.
- Don’t be spammy or ask people to visit your channel — let them click your profile if they’re interested.
- Do this on 4–5 relevant videos every day for a few days to accelerate growth.
Every comment links back to your channel profile. If your comment resonates, viewers click your profile, check your channel (in seconds they’ll know what it’s about), and some will subscribe.
Bonus tip #2 — The magic subscription link: ?sub_confirmation=1
Make subscribing as easy as possible by adding a short query string to your channel URL. Copy your channel link and append:
?sub_confirmation=1
Example:
https://www.youtube.com/@KarlBro?sub_confirmation=1
When someone clicks that link, a subscription confirmation popup appears immediately — one less step for a viewer to subscribe. Test it in an incognito tab to see the experience for yourself.
Statistically speaking, a well-placed subscription prompt increases conversions — and while “74.56%” is a cheeky number, the tactic really does boost subscriptions by removing friction.
Putting it into action
- Choose the URL method that fits your needs (address bar, YouTube Studio, or handle).
- Add the ?sub_confirmation=1 query to use the subscription popup when sharing externally.
- Combine sharing with the comment strategy to reach the right audience across YouTube.
- Repeat consistently — small daily actions add up.
Final thoughts
Finding and sharing your YouTube channel URL is simple, but using it strategically is what drives real growth. Copy the right link, make subscribing effortless with ?sub_confirmation=1, and get your channel in front of the people who’ll love your content by commenting thoughtfully on videos they already watch.
If you want to go further, focus next on making videos that match your audience and niche — that’s the step that turns curious visitors into long-term subscribers.
