About

Add ?sub_confirmation=1 to a channel URL and a signed-in viewer who opens it sees the subscribe confirmation straight away, instead of hunting for the red button. This subscribe link generator writes that URL for you and adds a ready-made HTML subscribe button. Try @MrBeast, or paste the address of your own channel.

How to use

Paste a channel link, @handle or UC channel ID into the box. The output updates as you type, with no Run button. First comes the subscribe link with a copy button, then the HTML for the button. If the input is not a channel format the page recognises, it tells you so.

Built in your browser, nothing sent

The link and the button are assembled on the page from what you type. No request goes to YouTube or to this site's server, and the input is not stored. The trade-off is that nothing checks whether the channel exists, so open the generated link once yourself before you share it.

Where a subscribe link pays off

Video descriptions, a pinned comment, an email signature, your own site and the bio field on other platforms are the usual homes for it. A visitor arriving from outside YouTube lands on the confirmation, which saves them from scanning the channel page for the button.

Inside the button code

The snippet is one anchor tag reading Subscribe, styled inline with a red pill background, so it needs no external stylesheet or script. Change the background value or the label text to match your site, and leave the href alone.

Handle link or ID link

A /@name link is easier to recognise, which suits places people will read it. For a link printed on merchandise or left on a site for years, generate it from the channel ID, because a handle can be renamed and the ID cannot. If you only know your handle, the channel ID finder converts it first.

FAQ

How do I make a YouTube subscribe link?

Paste your channel address here and copy the generated link. It is your channel URL with ?sub_confirmation=1 on the end.

What does sub_confirmation=1 do in a YouTube link?

It asks YouTube to show the subscribe confirmation dialog when the channel opens. The viewer has to be signed in to YouTube for that dialog to appear.

Is a subscribe link made from an @handle different from one made from a channel ID?

Both open the same prompt; only the path differs, /@name in one and /channel/ plus the UC ID in the other. If the owner later changes the handle, the handle link breaks while the ID link keeps working.

Can I add a YouTube subscribe button to my website?

Copy the button HTML and paste it anywhere that accepts HTML. It is a single link tag with inline styles, white text on a red rounded background, and it opens the subscribe link in a new tab.
