Use this interactive demo to learn how to enable the Community tab on your YouTube channel.

Quick summary

The YouTube Community tab lets eligible creators post updates, polls, and images directly to their channel page. You can enable Community posts in YouTube Studio by turning on Viewer posts under Community moderation settings.


Steps

  1. Go to studio.youtube.com and sign in to your account.
  2. Click Settings at the bottom of the left sidebar.
  3. Click Community moderation in the settings menu.
  4. Under Viewer posts, select On — Community post settings will appear automatically if your channel is eligible — then click Save.
  5. Go to your channel page on youtube.com and confirm the Community tab is visible in your channel navigation.

📌 Why this matters

The YouTube Community tab gives eligible creators a dedicated space to share posts, polls, and updates directly with subscribers — without uploading a video. Enabling it through YouTube Studio takes under a minute and can significantly boost channel engagement and audience retention. For brands and content creators, the Community tab is a proven tool to stay visible between uploads and strengthen subscriber relationships. Turning on Viewer posts also allows your audience to participate, driving organic interaction on your channel page.
