Join date, channel age, subscribers, total views, video count, and the channel ID come with it.
Where a channel's country comes from
Every YouTube channel can set a country in YouTube Studio under Settings → Channel. It appears in the channel's About panel, and YouTube uses it for things like monetization eligibility and regional features. This tool reads that public field.
Why people look it up
Brands vet creators for sponsorships in a target market, researchers group channels by region, and viewers check where a creator is based. Pair it with the join date and subscriber count to size up a channel quickly.

Common questions
How do I find out what country a YouTube channel is from?
Paste the channel's @handle or link above. The tool shows the country from the channel's About section. On YouTube itself, open the channel, click the description ("...more"), and look under More info.
Is the country always accurate?
It's the country the channel owner chose in their settings, not where they actually live or film. Some channels set a country for monetization or audience reasons, and many never set one.
What does "Not set" mean?
The channel hasn't chosen a country, so YouTube doesn't show one. There's no other public source for it.
Can I find a channel's country from a video?
Yes. Paste any video link and the tool looks up the channel that uploaded it.
Is it free?
Yes, with no account needed for normal use.
