D&D is such a loved game nowadays, everyone is playing it. Voice actors, friends, nerds, and even jocks. And now even YouTubers. Not only do YouTubers play it but now some YouTube channels are even based around it. Here are some of the best D&D YouTube channels to watch and why you should watch them.
10. Dungeons and Dragons (Dndwizards)

9. Puffin Forest

Don't be misled by the cruder art style this channel is hilarious. A channel set on telling different funny and interesting D&D stories that will help you get the newbies to get into it more. While still giving funny content that the kids experienced can relate to and laugh with.
Puffin Forest is a YouTube channel that commonly focuses on telling cool D&D, and sometimes other TTRPG, stories that will entertain you. From testing a character with every single class multi-classed together, to DM stories about stupid or silly groups. Along with these stories they also have D&D sessions of their own and others discuss other popular D&D and Geek culture things.
Having a down-to-earth voice telling these funny stories that even the narrator cracks up with sometimes when saying them helps you connect with the channel. Showing all different types of players and DM's and just the pure silliness that can come out of D&D. Or maybe stupidity sometimes. Either way, it's entertaining for us, so what else could we ask for?

8. One-Shot Quips

If you like the idea of the last channel but don't know if you are ready to sit down for a long story. One-shot quips have got you. Short relatable videos with a funny guy to back it up.
A channel of little shorts based around D&D things people in the fandom relate to. Whether it is stereotypes that people tend to have in the game or what type of player you are. This channel also does giveaways and donations to schools and places where they may not have enough money or resources to play D&D by themselves. And if that doesn't warm your heart they also love to support smaller D&D streamers while having them do silly things that make all of us laugh.
These short little videos are good for a quick watch to make you chuckle without taking too much of your time. With a funny and maybe a slightly over-the-top creator and narrator it will be hard to not laugh. But it will be impossible to not relate to something there if you are a D&D nerd.

Here is one for our seasoned D&D players. This channel is made by one guy, who loves to poke fun at common D&D things. From how people play a rouge to if someone played D&D like Skyrim. Funny things that we D&D geeks get.
This is another smaller video channel. They make skits on all different D&D things. From how different races are played to how people in real life would react to D&D things. You can also find commentary on new D&D add-ins on this channel. And they even have some tip videos for you.
This channel is not only able to give some seasoned information but can also be SUPER funny. With his exaggerated expressions and true knowledge of all things D&D., It helps all of us D&D people have a place to relate to each other.

In the past, it has been really hard to find females involved in a lot of Nerd and Geek culture. But I'm glad to say that has started to change a lot more nowadays. Here is an example. A good female representation on D&D that will give you some good content.

Things to roleplay in the game, or maybe even use outside of the game if you. Even includes things for DM's like NPC'S you can use and what you would like out of your players.

All of these options are great but if you're looking for a true group of people just playing D&D this channel can help. And this group of people can also get quite large so you get the perspective of multiple different players. Not just the amount that fits around a table.
This channel has several different campaigns going on all for you to choose from. They even do crossovers of campaign groups to join your favorite characters together. Along with small animations of funny moments in the game. And it's all online! So if you have a group that is the same way you get recognition.
