With the introduction of YouTube Handles (e.g., @username), securing a unique identity is harder than ever. NameScope offers a Youtube username checker free of charge that connects directly to the YouTube Data API. This ensures 100% accuracy when you check YouTube channel name availability.

Why use a YouTube Name Checker?

Searching manually on YouTube often shows mixed results (videos, playlists, or channels). Our youtube name checker filters through the noise and specifically checks if the Handle is registered. Whether you are starting a gaming channel, vlog, or business, use our YouTube channel name availability checker to verify your brand before committing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Youtube username checker online accurate?

Can I check old channel URLs?

This tool specifically checks for YouTube Handles (the unique @name identifier), which is the modern standard for channel identity.

What are the requirements for a YouTube handle?

Handles must be between 3 and 30 characters, can contain alphanumeric characters, underscores, hyphens, and periods.
