Description

Looks like Youtube channels can be accessed via a "simpler" URL that does not have /c/ stage in the link:
https://www.youtube.com/zsecurity

Regular link:
https://www.youtube.com**/c/**PeterSantenello

Right now pasting non- /c/ URL results in falling back to Generic extractor and unsupported URL error. Which is expected behavior. Adding support for these channel URLs will be a nice addition.

Here's a solution that can be easily implemented:
