About YouTube Video IDs
A YouTube Video ID is an 11-character alphanumeric string that uniquely identifies every video on YouTube. It's used in URLs, API calls, and embed codes to reference specific videos.
Video IDs are useful for developers working with the YouTube API, creating custom embed codes, building thumbnails URLs, or integrating YouTube content into applications and websites.
YouTube Video IDs use Base64 encoding, so they contain uppercase letters (A-Z), lowercase letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), hyphens (-), and underscores (_).
