How To Message Someone on YouTube by Using the Email
With this method, what you have to do first is to search for the user’s email address. After that, then you can send him/her your message via email. To search for a YouTube user’s email address, follow the steps below:
- Visit YouTube on your PC or request the web version (if you are using your smartphone). Do not open the YouTube app
- Enter the channel name of the person in the search bar above the page and then press Enter
- Click on the channel name and then ABOUT
- From the ABOUT tab, click on Details and then View Email Address. If the person has added his/her email address, you should be able to see it and then copy it
- Open your email provider and paste the email address in the address bar
- Type your desired message and then hit Send
You are done, your message will now be successfully delivered to the YouTube user’s email address, and you should expect your reply in a few days.
How To Send Someone A Message on YouTube By Using the Social Media
If the person has not listed his/her email in the Details page of their YouTube channel, then there is another alternative you can try. You can also check the Links tab to see all the links that have been attached by the channel owner.
With this method, you will use the social media account of the YouTuber and then send him/her a DM or find their email address there. To see this, you must check the description of the person’s video or watch his/her video to find if the social media links have been attached.
Once you find the link there, you can then proceed to send a DM. Mostly, the DMs do not get replied to early. So, if you need the person urgently, then search the social media bio to see if the person has added his/her email. This is because emails usually get replied to quickly.
