youtube Youtube notification Tips

[HeavyChickenGuy]

Now I'm sure we've all experience the frustration of your favorite youtuber uploading a HOT new video you've been waiting for and not receiving the notification that the video has been uploaded while some videos do send out a notification.

 

Well my comrades this might be because of some misunderstanding that's going on which is kind-of stupid on Youtube's part

 

I've found out that some of the channels I've subscribed and clicked or tapped on the bell icon for  sometimes ends up with notifications set to occasional notifications and some get set to always notify, I seem to run into this mostly when using mobile.

 

Now to the part on how to rectify this problem thankfully on mobile its much easier to deal with than on the desktop website but I will put instructions for both in here.

 

DESKTOP

Lets say you want to fix this issue on the desktop website:

 

one way that seemed to work for me (about 60% of the time) is to click on the bell icon to change the notification mode sometimes it changes the mode, sometimes it stops notifications completely I can't seem to understand how clicking the same damn icon do 3 things in what seems to be a random whatever it feels like doing manner.

 

now if the way above doesn't work and you still don't get all notifications

 

Step 1:

You see your Glorious picture on the top right of the page  see that bell icon up there click on it.

 

Step 2:

 

The notifications dropdown menu will show up and you should see a gear in the top right of the small menu click that gear

 

 

Step 3: 

 

Now you should end up at a page like this

 

 

 

under Channel subscriptions you have the Link Manage all subscriptions (<-- not an actual link here) click that and you should be taken to a list of every channel you've subscribed to

 

 

Step 4:

 

once you find the Youtube channel that you would like to receive all notifications for look at the bell 

 

If the bell looks like this  then it is set to occasional notifications which is usually what youtube loves to default to in terms of notifications click on the Bell and this window will come up

 

 

Select "All" and then press save and now your Bell icon should look like this  meaning its set to always notify.

 

MOBILE

 

 

Now here it's much easier and faster to sort out

 

 

Like the desktop you could just tap the bell icon to change modes or to be sure you can follow these steps

 

Step 1: Go to a video for the channel you wish to enable notifications for

 

 

 

Step 2:

 

Tap the Glorious bell icon so that it goes from this  to this one of test two or (<-- if you get this then you're done and you can enjoy the notifications) but if for some weird reason the Youtube gods decide to drive you insane or you just simply don't trust it here's one extra step for those who need glorious relief from the frustration, anxiety and depression dealing with this has caused you.

 

Step 3:

 

When you tap the Bell icon this should come up (at least it does for me on the latest Android version)

tap on OPTIONS

 

and a glorious popup will appear similar to the one you get on desktop

 

Tap on "All" and then OK

 

Now you can be happy to receive notifications for All the new uploads from your Youtuber of choice.
