Hi Everyone! I am George Pierce, this post is about how to set up a YT channel as an RSS feed for your website. Above is an example in action. The free widget that I am using above is Surfing-Waves dot com for a scrolling widget which is circled in red. The top arrow on the left is where to insert the YT channel and we will get to how to create that URL in a moment. The bottom right arrow is the embed code for your website. Embed the code and the scrolling widget will appear. As you can see above, you have all your ingredients for an RSS feed.
The URL:
Creating the URL is easy. The URL that I am using above is www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UChTkxCTdgkt-xzoDN22mjWw and it breaks down into two parts. Part one is
www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=
Just copy the above and add the channel ID...

How to find the channel ID:
Go to the home page of the channel that you want to use for your RSS feed. You will see the URL, as you see above. The ID, which is the part you want, is the code that follows channel/ ... above it is UChTkxCTdgkt-xzoDN22mjWw Copy it and add it to www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id= and you get
