BTW, you can use a channel as RSS-Feed! Every YouTube-Channel has a RSS-Feed! @DutchBaby It is pretty hard to look every single time through all of the channels @Yo mentioned to see if there are new videos without having a YouTube account and being informed right away or using NewPipe (idk if it‘s possible with LibreTube) with local subscription - but AFAIK it‘s then only checked if there are new videos from the subscribed channels available when NewPipe is opened while a RSS-FeedReader can run in the background permanently.

Here’s how to get the RSS-Feed of any YouTube channel:

  1. Go to the YouTube channel you want to have as a RSS-Feed.
  2. Click on the channel description („more“).
  3. Scroll down till the end.
  4. Click on „Share Channel“
  5. Now open a new tab and paste https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=
  6. Go back to the other tab.
  7. Click on „Copy Channel-ID“.
  8. Paste the Channel-ID in the other tab after the https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=
  9. Click enter in the new tab!
  10. Enjoy your YouTube channel RSS-Feed!

Wait! I want only real Videos and no Shorts in my RSS-Feed!

No problem! Just replace the „channel_id“ with „playlist_id“ and the beginning of the Channel-ID, which should be „UC“, with „UULF“! Now you have only Videos and no Shorts in your RSS-Feed!

This works only with only shorts, only livestreams and more. For the full list see here (if that link doesn‘t work try this one).

I have to admit, I still don’t know much about RSS or even use it despite the fact that I have been aware of it for decades. How are you using it, and what’s the difference between just having the sites loaded up on a web browser?
