How to Subscribe to YouTube via Email

YouTube disabled native email notifications in August 2020. Luckily FeedMail lets you get these notifications back, and they are better than ever!

Why Email Notifications?

At FeedMail were are a huge fan of email notifications!

  • Synced across all of your devices.
  • Easy to sort and filter.
  • Very customizable. You can decide if you want them to buzz your phone, ding your computer, both, or quietly file into a folder for you to check when you have some downtime.
  • One place for all of your updates. No need to remember to log into YouTube, Odysee, Vimeo, PeerTube and Nebula on every device.

Better than Native?

We think so!

  • No need to create a YouTube account.
  • Per-video notifications, no batching to mess up your filters and workflow.
  • You can pick a different email address for each channel for easy filtering. Not everything needs to go to your primary address.

Instructions

  1. Find the channel that you want to subscribe to. If you are watching a video you can get to the channel but clicking the channel logo under the video.
  2. Copy the channel URL. It usually looks like one of the following formats:
  3.  Got to the New Subscription page, paste the channel URL and click "Go".

  1. Select or enter the email address at which you would like to receive notifications then click "Subscribe"


 Note: If you are a new user you will need to confirm your email address before you start to receive notifications.

Changes to Billing for Multiple Simultaneous Updates

This change may result in increased credit usage for non-digest subscriptions. Am I Affected? Digest Subscriptions are unaffected . Owner-paid Feeds are unaffected . Frequently updating real-time subscriptions are affected . If you have questions regarding your specific subscriptions please contact FeedMail support . Background FeedMail pricing has always been 1 credit per email notification. However in practice FeedMail would charge at most 1 credit every time a feed was checked, even if there were multiple new items on that feed and multiple emails were sent. In other words FeedMail sometimes undercharged users. Going forward, this billing error will be corrected, which may result in higher credit usage for feeds that were previously undercharged. Correcting this issue is essential to preventing abuse, ensuring long-term sustainability, and maintaining fair pricing. Multiple updates are a rare occurrence. It usually happens on on feeds that update very often (faster than once every 5...

Support for SMTP MTA Strict Transport Security

FeedMail now supports SMTP MTA Strict Transport Security (MTA-STS) .

When FeedMail receives this signal it will refuse to deliver over insecure connections (retrying mail as required). FeedMail does not currently support SMTP TLS Reporting (TLSRPT) . We will be reaching out to any existing customers who's mail may be rejected due to this change.
