YouTube is one of the most popular video-sharing and social media platforms all over the world. There are times when you may need to find the email address associated with a YouTube account. For example, like many online users, you may have forgotten the email you used to create your YouTube account years ago¹. Or you may want to connect with a YouTuber professionally and need their contact email. In a peculiar case², a YouTube user even wanted to connect with their doppelgänger spotted in the comments, but couldn’t find an email on the channel’s page.

Don’t worry – in this post, we’re showing you how to find the email address linked to a YouTube account. Whether you need to lookup your own YouTube email or a YouTuber’s email, these methods can help track it down. Read on…

Method 1. Check the About section

As an option, YouTube users can display their email addresses so that others can reach out to them (mostly for business inquiries). So you can check out the section and see if the person has made it available.

Here is how to do it:

1. Go to YouTube and log into your account.
2. Head to the YouTuber’s account, then click his/her ABOUT section > VIEW EMAIL ADDRESS.
   
3. Complete the captcha and click Submit.
   
4. The YouTube user’s email address will be visible.
   

Note that while youTube users can display an email address in their About section for inquiries, it isn’t freely public information. As a user learned when setting up their channel, the main sign-up email also stays private³. So if this method is a no-go, just check out other methods to track down someone’s email from their YouTube handle.

Method 2. Use a YouTube email finder

If the About section gives you no luck, you should consider a YouTube email finder.

A YouTube email finder is a tool that gathers information from a wide range of sources, and it allows you to search for a person by a specific detail (such as username, name, and phone number). Among all the online YouTube email finders, our top recommendations are BeenVerified, Social Catfish, and Spokeo.

Here’s how to use BeenVerified to try to find someone’s email from their YouTube account.
