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!
|
||
|
||
Except it’s not at all a big deal because here at NewsBlur we’re making sure that your videos keep coming in. Previously [enterprising users setup hacks and workarounds for the API](https://getsatisfaction.com/newsblur/topics/youtube-eliminating-support-for-rss-atom), which was a somewhat tedious solution as you had to update each feed and prone to breaking in the future.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
And that’s not all. The improved YouTube video fetcher now displays a big embedded video so you can watch the video right in NewsBlur.

||
|
||
To subscribe to new YouTube channels, just enter in the URL of the channel in the Add Site popover.

||
When Google takes away your tools, NewsBlur builds them better than before.
