Use the Channel Search (magnifying glass) feature.
This command instructs yt-dlp to fetch the channel and extract only the video IDs, without downloading any content. This is extremely efficient for building a list. For a more detailed output, you can use the -j (or --dump-json ) flag to get rich metadata for every video, which can then be processed by other tools. The tool also handles pagination automatically, ensuring you get the entire list.
Finding every single video on a specific YouTube channel can be surprisingly difficult. YouTube often hides older content behind algorithms, shorts tabs, or infinite scroll layouts. Whether you are archiving content, conducting research, or looking for a creator's earliest work, you need reliable ways to see the complete catalog.
YouTube automatically creates a hidden playlist containing every single video uploaded by a channel. Accessing this playlist lets you see the total video count and scroll through a clean sidebar list. Step-by-Step Instructions Go to the target YouTube channel's homepage. Click on the tab. Look for a section titled For You , Videos , or Uploads .
