Feeds the site has but never links to
RSS feed for a YouTube channel or playlist
YouTube still serves an RSS feed for every channel and playlist, but it needs the channel id (the UC… string), which the @handle page does not show. MicroRSS reads the id from the channel page for you: paste the link as you see it in the address bar and the feed is found.
Each new video is an entry with its title, thumbnail and description; open it to watch on YouTube.

What you get
- The channel's last 15 uploads, then every new one as YouTube publishes it
- Playlists too, from a playlist link
- The video thumbnail and description inside the entry
- Shorts and live streams included, as YouTube lists them
How to add it
- 1 Copy the link

Questions
- Does YouTube have RSS feeds?
- Yes, one per channel and per playlist, at youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml with the channel or playlist id. MicroRSS finds the id from the channel page, so you paste the normal link.
- Can I follow a channel by its @handle?
- Yes. The handle page names the channel id; MicroRSS reads it once when you add the feed.
