To do this, open the YouTube app and look for the channel you want insights on.

This works on the mobile app and the desktop version of YouTube.

To search for something, tap on the Magnifying Glass icon.

It’s in the top-right corner, next to your profile picture.

• Search for a channel

In the text field, write the name of the channel you’re interested in.

You don’t need to be signed in to your YouTube account to do this.

Tap on the first result – you need the channel, not a specific video.

If you don’t remember the channel’s name, look for keywords relevant to their channel.

After you find a video belonging to their channel, do another search using the channel’s name.

• Tap on the three-dot menu

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

That’s because the filter for the search is “All”. This includes videos, playlists, movies, etc.

You need to change the filter results to “Channel” to get results with channels only.

To do this, tap on the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.

• Tap on “Filters”

After you tap on the three-dot menu, two options will appear – “Filters” and “Help & Feedback”.

Tap “Filters” to open the filter menu and change your search results.

• Tap on “All”

Once you open the Filters menu, you’ll see a new window appear.

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

You also get several recommendations at the bottom of the window.

What you need is to change the type of the filter.

Look at the “Type” option and tap on “All”. That’s the default option for all search results.

• Select “Channel” and then “Apply”

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.

• Look at the video count for the searched channel

Now that you’ve changed the filter to “Channel”, you’ll receive only channel search results.

The first on the list should be the channel you’re looking for.

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.

That’s it!
