Socials → YouTube posts to your server whenever a YouTube channel you follow uploads a video. YouTube tells the bot the moment a video goes up, so posts land within seconds. There is nothing to refresh and no polling interval to configure.

How it works

1

Add a channel

Paste a YouTube channel link, an @handle, or a UC… channel ID and click Add channel. The bot looks up the channel’s real name and avatar for you, and refuses anything it can’t find — so a typo can never sit in your list pretending to work. How many channels you can watch depends on your tier (see below).
2

Set it up

Pick the Discord channel to post in, optionally a ping role, choose which kinds of upload to announce, and write the message. Then click Save channel.

That's it

The row’s dot turns green once YouTube confirms the connection — usually within a minute. From then on every new upload posts automatically.
One YouTube channel = one row = one message. Every watched channel carries its own Discord channel, ping role, filters and message, so a gaming channel can post to #videos while a news channel posts to #announcements with a different template.
Only videos uploaded after you add a channel are announced. Adding a creator never replays their back catalogue.

​
The channel list

The list on the left is the index. Each row shows the creator, where it posts, and when it last posted. The coloured dot is the row’s status: Once you are watching more than five channels a filter box appears above the list — type any part of a creator’s name, handle, or target channel to narrow it down.

​
Settings

How these messages are delivered. Every announcement posts through a bot-owned webhook. With no custom identity it uses the bot’s own name and avatar, so it looks like a normal bot message. The bot needs Send Messages, Embed Links and Manage Webhooks in the target channel — and Mention @everyone, @here and All Roles if you set a ping role.

​
Placeholders

These work in any part of a YouTube message — content, title, description, fields and footer. Two more work in the image slots of the embed: The standard server placeholders ({server}, {member_count}) work here too. See Placeholders for the full list.

​
Tier limits

Once every slot is in use, the card tells you which tier watches more and the Add channel button becomes Upgrade for more channels, which opens the plan comparison. At VIP there is nothing above it, so the button simply asks you to remove a channel first. If your tier drops below the number of channels you have, nothing is deleted. The extra rows are marked Over limit and stop posting until you remove a channel or upgrade — your messages and settings are still there waiting.
Watching 30 channels will not flood your server or hit Discord’s limits. Announcements to the same Discord channel are spaced a few seconds apart, so even a burst of simultaneous uploads arrives in an orderly queue.

​
Troubleshooting

A row is stuck on Connecting. Give it a few minutes — the connection is confirmed by YouTube, not by the bot. If it stays amber for more than an hour, remove the channel and add it again. Every row says Checking instead of Connected. That’s expected on a server without instant alerts configured, and it isn’t a fault — uploads still post, just on a periodic check rather than the moment they go live. A row says Needs attention. Open it and read the note at the top: it names what failed. Almost always the bot is missing Send Messages or Embed Links in the target channel, or the channel was deleted. A video was posted twice. It shouldn’t be — each video is announced once per watched channel, even though YouTube re-notifies the bot whenever a creator edits a title or description. If you genuinely see a duplicate, check whether the same creator is in your list twice under different URLs. Shorts are still coming through. Turn off Shorts under Announce and save. Very short regular videos are occasionally read as Shorts; that’s the one edge case in the detection.
