Community tab with polls, images, and discussion

The Community Tab is like your channel’s social feed. Use it to build deeper relationships, gather feedback, and keep subscribers engaged even when you’re not uploading videos.

What Can You Post?

  • Polls (ask for opinions or future topic ideas)
  • Images, GIFs, or behind-the-scenes photos
  • Quick updates, questions, or countdowns
  • Links to new uploads or playlists
  • Shout-outs or community spotlights

Best Practices for Community Posts

  • Be consistent—post between videos to stay top-of-mind
  • Encourage conversation and reply to comments
  • Pin important posts so more people see them
  • Avoid over-promoting—mix value, entertainment, and fun

When Does the Tab Unlock?

Channels gain the Community Tab at 500+ subscribers, giving you direct access to your fan base.
