jblenkle Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I'm trying to set up a YouTube Channel to go with my rebranded ColecoADAM.Net web page. Please come and subscribe. The first video is a shortened version of the 2021 Halloween Multimedia disk: https://youtu.be/21tLHzDZQVk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Did you mean to set the channel up as one designated as being made for kids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set it as that, but as this was my first video I did not realize that turned off comments. I have since changed it so people are allowed to leave comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your channel really targeted at kids? No, as I said I've changed it since then. When I created it, I didn't really know what those choices were. I figured "made for kids" was safer because the other implied it was adult content rather than for everyone. I didn't know the "made for kids" put restrictions on it.

Ikrananka Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 You said that you'd turned comments on. However, it is still not possible for viewers to turn on notifications for your channel as it is still saying that your channel is set to made for kids. Just a heads up.

I will go look again, but as far as I know "made for kids" is turned off...unless there is a 2nd one in a location I didn't see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see any setting for turning "notifications" on...and I searched HELP for it and all I can find are instructions for going into settings on your web browser and turning them on there so your browser can receive notifications. I know I am subscribed to other YouTube channels and see the notification icon there and I get notifications. But the page I see when I go to my channel is different than what I see for the other channels so I don't know ifb I'm seeing the same page you see.

Ikrananka Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 This is what I get when I click on the bell icon to try and turn on notifications. A message appears in the bottom left of the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Perhaps there's not only a setting for your channel but also for each video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, so I logged on to YouTube with a different account and went to my channel. There is nothing there for notifications from the channel. But when you go to the individual videos (of which there is currently only the one Halloween one), there is a subscribe button. When you click on subscribe and then the notification bell next to it, you will be signed up to receive notifications for anything posted to that channel.

The channel is no longer set to "made for children" and I just successfully subscribed and turned on notifications from the YouTube account I just created to test it. Maybe because you subscribed before I changed the setting??? Try unsubscribing and resubscribing and then see if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question...do you see the whole banner when you go to the channel or is the top cut off like in the picture you posted? Apparently it is dependent on what kind of device to view it with (phone, computer, TV). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Not cut off, I cropped the screen shot. Just double-checked online and the whole of the banner is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
