<p>YouTube, owned by Google, deprecated their v2 APIs on April 20th, 2015, which means that RSS news readers can no longer watch for new videos. What a bummer!</p>
<p>Except it’s not at all a big deal because here at NewsBlur we’re making sure that your videos keep coming in. Previously <ahref="https://getsatisfaction.com/newsblur/topics/youtube-eliminating-support-for-rss-atom">enterprising users setup hacks and workarounds for the API</a>, which was a somewhat tedious solution as you had to update each feed and prone to breaking in the future.</p>
<p>But there’s good news today because NewsBlur now has a custom-built solution for YouTube videos. All of your existing YouTube RSS feeds are automatically ported over to the new YouTube video fetcher.</p>
