Hi Aryan,

As your return type is String so your method must return some String value and you haven't written the return statement from else part.
Either you must have a return statement from If as well as else or create a string in if else and return should be your last statement.

I have made changes in your else part this hsould work.
public class YoutubeApi{
	public static String Nameoftheyoutubechannel(String ChannelName){
		Http http = new Http();
		HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
		request.setEndpoint('https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3');
		request.setMethod('GET');
		HttpResponse response = http.send(request);
		if(response.getStatusCode()==200){
			Map<String,Object>jsonbody=(Map<String,Object>)JSON.deserializeUntyped(response.getBody());
			Map<String,Object>result=(Map<String,Object>)jsonbody.get('SNIPPET');
			String id=(String) result.get('ChannelId');

			return id;
		}
		else{
			system.debug(+ response.getStatusCode() + '' +response.getStatus());
			return response.getStatus();
		}
	}
}
