When you create a channel on YouTube or post a video, whether it’s a long video or a YouTube Shorts video, the YouTube system generates a unique web address called a URL or link for your channel as well as for every video you post on YouTube. This URL, or link, is like an internet address that takes you to a specific video or page on YouTube.
