        I’m very new to using rss. Recently I have come across people mentioning about adding rss feeds of youtube channels to rss readers. I’m curious to know how to get the URL of youtube channel rss so I could add it to my reader (I hope I am wording it correctly). I am using feeder app.

          There are guides on this, just search for them. Quick version: on a Youtube video do ctrl+U to see the page source, then search for "UC. This is the channel ID. Then the URL is in the format https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC5UAwBUum7CPN5buc-_N1Fw
