If you’re trying to find out which email address is associated with your old YouTube account, there are a few steps you can take:
1. Try Signing In with Possible Email Addresses
If the email is linked to the account, Google will prompt you to enter the password or proceed with account recovery.
2. Use the “Forgot Email?” Option
Visit the Google account recovery page: https://accounts.google.com/signin/usernamerecovery
Click on “Forgot email?”
Enter your recovery phone number or recovery email address, along with your name.
Google will display a list of matching email addresses associated with that information.
3. Check Old Emails
Search through your existing email accounts for messages from YouTube or Google (e.g., welcome emails, comment notifications, or subscription updates). These often indicate which email was used to create the account.
4. Look for Clues on the Channel Itself
If you can still access the channel publicly, check the About section for any listed contact email.
You can also copy the channel URL or name, which may help during the recovery process.
5. Try Signing In with a Username (Legacy Accounts)
For very old accounts (created before Google integration), you may be able to sign in using the original YouTube username instead of an email address.
6. Use Google Account Recovery
If you believe you’ve identified the correct email but can’t remember the password, use the recovery page: https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery
and follow the verification steps.
7. Contact YouTube Support (If Applicable)
Direct support is typically available only to creators in the YouTube Partner Program, but you can still seek help through the YouTube Help Center for guidance and community assistance.
