Add channels from the Channels page using any of these forms:
  • A handle such as @mkbhd
  • A channel URL such as https://youtube.com/@mkbhd
  • A permanent YouTube channel ID beginning with UC
Monitor YT resolves the input to a permanent channel ID before adding it. A tracked channel contributes its public uploads and detected changes to your feed.

​
What Monitor YT collects

  • New public long-form uploads
  • Video titles and thumbnails
  • Public view, like, and comment counts
  • Public subscriber count changes
  • Channel name and profile image changes
Monitor YT discovers new public long-form uploads through YouTube’s channel feed. Shorts, livestreams, private videos, and members-only uploads are not part of new upload discovery. See Detection and data freshness for the collection schedule and limitations.

​
Shared monitoring

Channel collection is shared across Monitor YT. If another user already tracks a channel, adding it to your account uses the existing monitoring history where your plan permits it. Removing a channel only removes it from your account. It does not affect other users who track the same channel.

​
Plan limits

Free accounts can track 5 channels and Pro accounts can track 100. Removing a channel frees a slot immediately. See Plans for history and API access differences.
