The human-readable username can be added as a "YouTube handle" (P11245) qualifier, and the title of the channel can be provided with the "object named as" (P1932) qualifier. (English)

The following command (when replacing CHANNELNAME) can be used on typical Linux distributions to extract the required channel ID to use for this property from a YouTube channel's URL that contains a channel name rather than channel ID: curl --no-progress-meter 'https://www.youtube.com/c/CHANNELNAME' | xmllint --html --recover --nowarning --xpath 'string(//meta[@itemprop="channelId"]/@content)' - 2>/dev/null (English)
