YouTube Channel Age Checker

Enter a channel's join date and get its exact age.

YouTube Channel Age Checker

Find the date on the channel's About page, under “Joined” (for example, “Joined Mar 5, 2015”), then enter it below.

Where do I find a channel's join date?

Open the channel, go to its About tab, and look for the “Joined” line (for example, “Joined Mar 5, 2015”). On mobile, tap the channel, then the About section. Copy that date into the form above. The join date is when the account was created — it isn't always the same as the date of the channel's first upload.
