• Tap on the three-dot menu

Based on your search, you might get a long list of results – videos belonging to that channel.

It contains all sorts of options related to filters, like how you want to sort the search results and upload the date.

After you tap on “All”, you’ll open a sub-menu of filter options.

The “All” option is first on the list. That’s the default filter for search results.

Select “Channel” if you want only to sort your search results for channels.

If you choose that, you’ll only see channels based on your search.

For instance, if you were searching for Mr. Beast, you’ll have received varying results with the “All” filter, most of which are videos of Mr. Beast.

But if you change the filter to “Channel”, you’ll only receive results of channels with that name.

After you select “Channel”, tap on “Apply” at the bottom to apply the changes.

Under the channel’s name, you’ll first see the subscriber count.

Under the subscriber count is the YouTube video count. There, you’ll see how many videos a channel has.

So, if it says 5.1k videos, the channel has 5,100 videos.
