robbalvey Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 YouTube have added some new features for us to share videos, polls, and other comments with subscribers, but I'm curious to know how you guys see them. How do they appear on your side of the screen? Curious to know how you see them and how you are notified of them. Please send us screen shots! Thank you for your help!

RollingCoasting Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Appeared on the "home" tab of YouTube   Looks like they show up on the "community" tab of your channel page, too  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I didn't see any notifications anywhere. I had to specifically click on your channel and then click the "community" tab (which I never knew existed) to find it. It was tough to find even when actively searching for it.

vuurvogel Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I had to go to my TPR subscription page and click community to find it. I have however seen another questionnaire from a different channel I am subscribed to on the front page when I opened Youtube on my phone a few days back. I am not sure what made that one appear there and yours not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I also had to really dig through to find this. Probably wouldn't have ever discovered it without reading this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 As others said, I wouldn't have found this without this thread. I had to click on the TPR channel and click "Community" to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Huh.... interesting. That's how I have to find it, too... digging through the channel pages. I would have at least thought YouTube would have made this more accessible to subscribers like through notifications or on their subscriber page to let people know of a new post or poll. I mean, how often do you really check a channel's main page, anyway? I know I never do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I mean, how often do you really check a channel's main page, anyway? I know I never do... Right. It's been so long I had to figure out how to do it again. I get push notifications when you post a new video, but I didn't get one for this poll.

steamedturtle Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The polls and posts DO show up on my "subscriber" tab on my android Youtube app; they show up in a regular chronological timeline with everything else. However, on my PC, it's not obvious. You have to click on your channel, and then click on community to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we've already had more than 5,000 votes in the poll so people are certainly finding it somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorneyKid14 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 This is what i see on my laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuurvogel Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 This picture is from one of my other subscribed channels and shows that these things do show up in the feed of selected videos I might like on my phone. This could also be the case with your questionairre by others. But why it is showing this one for me and not yours is a bit of a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 It does sort of seem like most of the people who see it are using the Youtube app on a mobile device, especially given the results of the poll you just shared. The overwhelming majority of people seem to be voting for "mobile" which makes sense if that's the only platform where people are actually seeing the poll.

michaellynn4 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 It definitely seems to be easier to find via the mobile app than on a web browser. I, too, found it scrolling through the Subscriptions tab and also received a notification for it under the Activity tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
