Adding a channel to track

Open Competitor Tracking and click Add channel. You can add a channel two ways.

Paste URL

Paste the channel's link into Channel URL. These formats work:

  • youtube.com/@handle, including links to a tab like youtube.com/@handle/videos
  • youtube.com/channel/UC…
  • Just the handle: @handle
  • Just the channel ID, the one starting with UC

Links with or without https://, www. or m. all work.

Older links like youtube.com/c/name or youtube.com/user/name don't work. Open the channel on YouTube and copy its @handle link instead.

Adding a channel by link is free.

Type the channel's name to search for it. This runs a channel search, so it costs 1 credit, the same as a Niche Finder search.

Limits

Each plan can track a set number of channels. See Saving channels to tracking for the numbers.
