Use this interactive demo to learn how to post a public announcement on your YouTube channel.

Quick summary

A YouTube announcement is a text-based Community post published directly from YouTube Studio that lets creators notify subscribers about news, launches, or updates. You can write, format, and publish a post in under a minute using the Create menu in YouTube Studio.


Steps

  1. Go to studio.youtube.com, click Create in the top-right corner, then select Create post.
  2. In the text field, open with a direct statement that tells viewers exactly what you are announcing.
  3. Add a call to action in the final line to encourage viewer engagement.
  4. Set visibility to Public and click Post to publish your announcement.

📌 Why this matters

YouTube Community posts give creators a direct, algorithm-friendly way to reach subscribers without publishing a full video. Posting announcements through YouTube Studio keeps your audience informed about launches, events, or updates in real time. This feature is especially valuable for growing channels that want to drive engagement and comments between video uploads. Mastering the Create post workflow in YouTube Studio helps creators maintain an active presence and build stronger subscriber relationships.
