How to Find and Subscribe for Youtube Channels

There are so many videos on YouTube that it may seem overwhelming to find some of interest to you. There’s an easy way to always find videos you like. Companies, bands, and others set up channels for their videos. You can subscribe to them so they’re easily accessible for you, and you can set it so you receive email notifications when the channel owners upload a new video. Instructions and channel examples are below.

Preliminary Step: Create a YouTube account

Find and Subscribe to a YouTube Channel

1. Log in to your YouTube account.
2. Search for a channel to which to subscribe.
You can search for a specific item (such as a band) or a broader topic. For some popular channels, such as those for bands or companies, you may want to select an “offical” channel. These are usually noted as such in the search results and on the channel itself. Examples of different channels are included below.
3. In the search results, click the channel name. The channel page displays.
4. Click Subscribe. A box displays at the top of the page.
To receive notifications when a new video is added to the channel, select “also email me for each upload.”
5. Click Update. A “subscribed” notice displays.

Channel Examples

There are many channels available from which to choose and subscribe. Here are some examples. Basically, though, you can search for something, or look on sites and blogs for a YouTube link and go from there.

Music

You can search by a specific band name or a general topic.

Band: Linkin Park
General: Mozart
 This channel came up in search results for Mozart.

 Companies

News

You can likely find a YouTube channel for just about anything. Just start searching and subscribe to the channel of your choice. Have fun!
