News – What is a YouTube Community, Can you “join”?

💡 What Is a YouTube Community?

The Community Tab on a YouTube channel is where creators can post messages, photos, GIFs, polls, and updates for their subscribers.

Think of it as YouTube’s version of a Facebook wall — a place to interact, share feedback, and stay in touch with your favorite creators.

🧠 Note: Not all channels have this feature. Creators need at least 500 subscribers before the Community tab appears.

🖥️ How to Find YouTube Communities on Desktop

1. Go to YouTube.com.

2. Visit the channel page of the creator you’re interested in.

3. Under the banner image, look for tabs like:
   Home | Videos | Shorts | Playlists | Community

4. Click on Community.

5. Browse through their posts — you can like, comment, or reply to engage.

💬 Tip: If you don’t see a “Community” tab, the channel either hasn’t unlocked it yet or hasn’t posted anything recently.

📱 How to Find Communities on Mobile

1. Open the YouTube app on your phone or tablet.

2. Tap on a channel name (from a video or search results).

3. Swipe left on the top menu until you see Community.

4. Tap Community to explore their posts, polls, and discussions.

❤️ How to Join and Engage with a YouTube Community

There’s no “Join” button like on Facebook groups — your engagement is your membership!

Here’s how to become part of the conversation:

• 👍 Like community posts you enjoy.

• 💬 Comment or reply to share your thoughts.

• 🗳️ Vote in polls to have your say.

• 🔔 Turn on notifications after subscribing so you don’t miss new posts.

🌟 How to Discover Active Communities

If you want to explore new communities related to your interests:

• Search topics like “Thai cooking community” or “wellness channel.”

• Look for channels with 500+ subscribers — they likely have the Community tab.

• Try this Google trick to find active community tabs:

🎯 Final Thoughts

YouTube communities are where creators and viewers connect beyond the videos — a place for sharing, asking questions, and growing together.
So the next time you visit your favorite channel, check their Community tab — you might find a friendly post waiting for you!
