How to Get an RSS Feed from a YouTube Channel

Finding a YouTube RSS feed used to be easy, but YouTube has hidden the feature over the years. Whether you want to subscribe via a news reader or built a custom automation, getting the RSS link is still possible.

The Easy Way (Using this Tool)

This YouTube to RSS tool acts as a simple RSS feed generator. Just copy the channel URL, user URL, or handle (e.g., @MKBHD) into the box above. We'll automatically extract the correct RSS link for you to copy.

The Manual Way

If you want to find the feed yourself without a generator, you can usually find it by viewing the page source.

  • Go to the YouTube channel page.
  • Right-click anywhere on the page and select View Page Source.
  • Press Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F) and search for rss+xml or channel_id=.
  • Copy the URL that looks like https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=...

Add RSS Feed to YouTube Music / Podcast Apps

Many users want to add RSS feed to YouTube Music or turn a YouTube to podcast RSS feed to listen on the go.

Once you have the RSS link from our tool:

  1. Open your podcast app (e.g., YouTube Music, Pocket Casts).
  2. Look for the "Add Podcast by URL" option.
  3. Paste the generated RSS link.

Now you can listen to YouTube channels just like podcasts!
