This is your channel’s ID.
Get the channel ID from channel name
You will not always see a YouTube channel’s ID directly in your browser. Sometime you will encounter channel names as in the example below.
As you can see, at the end of the link in the browser, there is no channel ID but channel name.
In such a situation, right click on the page and click “View page source.”
On the opening page search for “/channel/“
You will see a link to the channel after the expression “href=“. Click this link, and you will go to the same channel, but this time in your browser, the channel ID will appear.
Now, you have the channel ID, you are ready to move on to the next step.
Get the RSS feed URL
Copy and paste this link in your browser: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=
After “=” add the channel ID and press Enter.
Now you have the Youtube channel’s RSS feed URL.
