YouTube Auto Subscribe Link Generator

A YouTube auto-subscribe link is your channel URL plus `?sub_confirmation=1`. Clicking it opens the channel and YouTube’s own “Subscribe?” dialog. The viewer still confirms. This page is not a subscriber bot and cannot add subscribers without that click.

Private by design. The channel URL is parsed in this tab and the subscribe link is a string — nothing is uploaded, and we do not call the YouTube API.

How to make a YouTube auto subscribe link

  1. Open the channel page. Go to the YouTube channel (the Home tab), not a video. Copy the URL from the address bar.
  2. Paste it here. @handle, youtube.com/channel/UC…, /c/Name, /user/Name, or a bare UC id all work. Video URLs are rejected on purpose.
  3. Copy the subscribe link. The page appends ?sub_confirmation=1 and rebuilds a clean youtube.com URL. HTML and Markdown wrappers sit under the URL.
  4. Use it where you promote the channel. Video descriptions, a link-in-bio, an email, a slide. The viewer still has to tap Subscribe on YouTube’s dialog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this auto-subscribe people without asking?
No. YouTube always shows a confirmation dialog. A silent subscribe would violate YouTube’s terms and this page does not attempt it.
Why did my video URL fail?
A watch, Shorts, or youtu.be link is a video, not a channel. Open the channel page and paste that instead. We do not call a YouTube API to look up the channel from a video id.
Should I use @handle or the UC channel ID?
Both work with ?sub_confirmation=1. The UC /channel/UC… form is the permanent id and will not break if the handle changes. @handle is shorter to share.
Does /c/Name still work?
Yes. Legacy /c/ and /user/ URLs are rewritten to the same parameter. Prefer @handle or /channel/UC… when you have them.
Is my URL uploaded?
No. Parsing and the output strings run in this tab. Nothing is sent to orangebot.
Is this affiliated with YouTube?
No. It only builds a URL YouTube already documents.

Use Cases

  • Put a subscribe link in a video description instead of a plain channel URL
  • Add a Subscribe button on a personal site that opens YouTube’s dialog
  • Share an @handle subscribe link in a newsletter or link-in-bio
  • Convert an old /c/ or /user/ URL into a confirmation link
