ChannelQuest is the fastest way for indie devs to discover, qualify, and shortlist YouTube gaming channels for review copies, Let's Plays, and launch coverage.
Finding the right YouTube gaming channels for your indie launch means hours of manual searching. Most review keys end up with channels that don't cover games like yours — or don't cover them at all.
Search YouTube for gaming channels using multiple keyword tags at once — "indie platformer", "pixel art games", "cozy game review". Get up to 200 results per search.
Paste a channel that already covers games like yours and ChannelQuest finds hundreds of similar creators — by topic, keyword, and content signals.
Open each channel live in a full browser. Check their recent videos, see if they cover your genre. Press → to shortlist, ← to pass. Add notes. Build your key list.
Target the right tier. Set min/max subscriber counts, video counts, minimum total views. Focus on mid-tier creators with dedicated gaming audiences — or find hidden micro gems.
Save channels to named lists — "Launch Day Keys", "Post-Launch Follow-up", "Wishlist". Capture notes from each page. Everything persists and exports to CSV.
Add multiple YouTube Data API keys. ChannelQuest auto-rotates when one hits its daily quota — so a long research session never gets cut short.
Enter genre keywords or paste a channel you love to find hundreds of similar gaming creators. Results load in seconds.
Set subscriber ranges to target the right tier — micro, mid-tier, or large. Filter by video frequency and country too.
Each channel opens live. Browse their real YouTube page, check recent games coverage, capture notes, save to your key list.
Export a clean CSV with all your decisions, notes, and channel metadata. Pipe it into your outreach tool and start sending keys.
Stop manually Googling for gaming YouTubers. Build a qualified shortlist of creators who actually play games like yours — before launch day hits.
Run channel research for multiple games simultaneously. Save lists per title, track who's been sent keys, export per-project for your team.
Vet gaming YouTubers across your entire portfolio. Filter by niche, size, and geography. Keep your outreach targeted and your key budget efficient.
Drop in a competitor's channel URL and map the full ecosystem of creators in a genre. Run vetting sessions for multiple clients without tab chaos.
