YouTube email finder: find a channel's business email from its description
In short: Paste the channel description and links. Addresses in them and on the linked site are listed and checked live. The "View email address" button stays yours to press. Limit: It never opens YouTube and never gets past the "View email address" captcha.
A YouTube email finder gets the business address a channel shares. Paste the channel description and links from the About panel: this one lists every email written there, including spelled-out forms like name (at) domain (dot) com, reads the linked website or link-in-bio page, and checks each address live. It never opens youtube.com or bypasses its captcha.
Price: this tool is free. Checking a whole email list is from $9/mo, and the first 100 checks are free with Google, no card. See pricing

How do I verify a whole list of creator emails?
- Export your creator or influencer sheet as a CSV, or paste the email column.
- Drop it on /verify: every address gets the same mailbox check, without an email being sent.
- Send pitches only to the valid ones; treat risky (often catch-all) addresses as a smaller second batch.
How do I find a YouTube channel's business email?
- On the channel page, open the description (the About panel) and copy the text and links.
- Paste them here, with the channel URL if you like (noted, not opened), and press Find emails.
- See each address, where it was found, and the mail server's Valid, Risky or Invalid answer.
- If nothing turns up, press "View email address" on the channel yourself and paste the result in to check it.
Example
- You enter
- The channel description
For business inquiries: sam (at) builtbysam (dot) examplewith the channel URLyoutube.com/@builtbysam.example. - You get
- 1 address:
[email protected], marked spelled out, then checked live. The YouTube URL is listed as not opened, and the "View email address" button is left to you. - Limits
- The bio is read in your browser; pages are read up to 4 a minute and 30 an hour per visitor, and addresses are checked 5 a minute.
What about the "View email address" button?
Channels can add a business email that YouTube shows only behind a "View email address" button. It needs you signed in to a Google account and solving a captcha. That gate exists to stop automated collection, so we can't and don't bypass it. Getting past it automatically would also break YouTube's Terms of Service, which forbid accessing the service by automated means. Press the button yourself, then paste the address here to check it.
Where else do YouTubers list an email?
In the channel description (often written out as business inquiries: name [at] domain [dot] com), in video descriptions, and on their website or link-in-bio page. Paste any of that text; links to the creator's own site or a link-in-bio page are read as one public page each, and a website's contact page if it links one (Linktree pages excepted: its robots.txt turns automated readers away, so paste their text).
What do Valid, Risky and Invalid mean?
Each address found goes through the same live check as the free email verifier: DNS for the domain's mail server, then a RCPT TO question to that server, with nothing sent to the inbox. Valid means the server said the mailbox exists. Invalid means mail would bounce: no mail server, or the server said the mailbox doesn't exist. Risky means the server wouldn't say, which is usual for catch-all domains and for providers that hide mailbox status, so the address may work but can't be confirmed.
Can I pitch a creator at the address I find?
A business address a creator writes in their bio is there for brand and collaboration enquiries, which is what most pitches are. Laws such as CAN-SPAM in the US, PECR and GDPR in the UK and EU, and CASL in Canada still apply to commercial email: say who you are, make the offer relevant to the creator, and honour a no. A personal address that happens to be visible is not an invitation to add someone to a mailing list.

What can’t this tool tell you?
- It never opens YouTube and never gets past the "View email address" captcha.
- It only reads the description and links you paste, plus one public page per link.
- A valid mailbox means mail is accepted, not that the creator reads it.
- Sites that add addresses with JavaScript after loading, or only behind a form, aren't seen.
Common questions
- How do I find a YouTuber's email address?
- Check the channel description, the "View email address" button (signed in, with a captcha) and the creator's website. Paste the description here to pull and check every address in it and on its linked pages.
- Can this tool show the hidden YouTube business email?
- No. That address sits behind sign-in and a captcha. We can't and don't bypass it. Press the button yourself and paste the address in to check it.
- Does it open my YouTube channel URL?
- No. YouTube pages are never fetched. The URL is only noted; the description you paste is what's read.
- Why is a channel's email Risky?
- The mail server wouldn't confirm the mailbox, which is usual on catch-all domains. It may work, but it can't be confirmed.
- Is the YouTube email finder free?
- Yes, with no account: up to 4 pages a minute and 30 an hour per visitor, and 5 address checks a minute.

That was one address. Most people have a list.
The free checker does five addresses a minute, one at a time — fine for spot-checking, useless for a CSV of 40,000.
- Upload a CSV up to 100,000 rows
- Valid, risky and invalid exported as separate files
- Repeat checks free for 14 days, no new connections
