guys welcome back to a brand new video
and now in this video we're going to
talk about the community tab that
YouTube has introduced a thing around
2017 and a lot of people have you know a
lot of questions about it also the
requirements have changed quite a bit in
this video we're gonna talk about how to
get the community tab everything like
that so if you guys are excited make
sure to hit the like button down below
subscribe if you're new I would say
let's get started right after the intro
[Music]
alright guys so at the end of 2017
YouTube has replaced let me think which
have it was I think it was like the
discussions tab at the end of 2017 and
YouTube put in the community tab right
there where you can post questions gifts
images polls to your subscribers
sub-blocks on their phone and recently
also on their desktop now I'm a made
that video the requirements were pretty
simple the minimum requirement you
needed for when it comes to subscribers
was 10,000 and I don't really think you
had to be YouTube's partner or anything
like that so earlier today when I was
looking for a topic for today's video I
was browsing through the comments I well
people wanted the seeds and then I just
kept getting notifications on the
community post video like oh but YouTube
says you need 10,000 subscribers but I
know somebody with 25 subscribers and
may have the tap what's going on okay so
let me clarify and they have a 2017
YouTube sent alright everybody with at
least 10,000 subscribers will get this
tab and everybody underneath it it is
just a test face obviously throughout
the years the YouTube has lowered that
threshold from 10,000 subscribers to
only a thousand subscribers and now you
may wondering Alex and nobody that's
even under a thousand than they have it
well I think YouTube is not really
picking channels that specifically who
are getting the taps so if you know
somebody that has maybe a hundred and
twenty subscribers they have the chat
that's probably because YouTube is like
testing you know getting different
features on different channels and
obviously they get to also keep that
feature okay so if you're wondering like
okay I have
even more than 10,000 subscribers and I
don't even have the tab how are people
with less than a thousand of having it
and I'm not well let's just go to the
page right now about the community tab
and let's read a little bit more about
what's going on and how you can actually
be eligible for this feature okay so I'm
taking the most recent article and
somebody said it will take up to one
week to see the community tab after
passing a thousand subscribers your
channel is eligible for community posts
so you don't see the humidity tab you'll
need to enable the custom channel layout
it might be the case that you're
eligible and that you can have the tab
but you also need to obviously right
here it says available the custom
channel layout because the custom
channel layout needs to be enabled in
order for the community tab to be shown
all right so this is basically what I
want you guys to do if you're asking me
Alex I believe and I have over a
thousand subscribers with the community
tab is not there right now what I want
you to do is open up another tab in your
browser so you don't lose this video
then you're going to go through the same
restrictions that are coming up
following the Riggin I enable the custom
layout right now okay guys so right now
we're on my youtube channel and the
thing you want to do in order to
activate the tabs because I already have
it for like years so it's obvious that
it's right here but if you don't have
this one yet what we're gonna do is
we're gonna click on this little wheel
icon and what we're gonna do is we're
gonna make sure that customize the
layout of your channel has been checked
so then we're gonna click on save and
then it's gonna jump to that new layout
it says to join customize channel
YouTube Studios so this is basically the
new layout and obviously right here the
community tab will appear and if it's
not the case make sure to let me know
down in the comments and I'll check for
a solution you should be good to go when
you actually go ahead and customize your
channel and obviously there is no like
manual button to turn on the community
tab it should be automatically be there
if you're eligible and if you have over
a thousand subscribers and if you don't
have over a thousand subscribers the
community tab may pop up on your channel
because that's what YouTube actually
said like they're just beta testing it
so this is how to activate it and guys
