Description

My id to my channel: UCG5-iPOoQ65CKi5YuZXSqqg I put this value into youtube channel name input. Generated link:

href="https://www.youtube.com/c/ucg5-ipooq65cki5yuzxsqqg"

is incorrect and it returns 404 error. Correct URL is

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG5-iPOoQ65CKi5YuZXSqqg

The difference are letter size of id and c vs channel in URL.

But URL with c in URL can be correct, for example: https://www.youtube.com/c/google

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the code that constructs the YouTube channel URL, likely in a helper function or template. Ensure the URL uses '/channel/' instead of '/c/' and preserves the case of the channel ID.
