Follow a YouTube channel with RSS (without a Google/YouTube account)
You don’t need a Google/YouTube account to follow a YouTube channel.
Each YouTube channel has a RSS feed.
How to find the RSS feed of a YouTube channel?
You can compose the RSS feed of a YouTube channel by appending its channel ID (i.e. the series of numbers and characters present in the URL of a channel homepage) to this URL:
www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID
Example
Below is an example for a YouTube channel you would want to follow.
This is the URL of a YouTube channel you want to follow:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB_WkcAGmlt5lOW1uHCvemQ
So, the URL of its RSS feed is:
www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCB_WkcAGmlt5lOW1uHCvemQ
You can copy this link in your RSS reader to follow the RSS feed of that channel.
