Solved Subscribe to RSS Feeds Button Missing

[Pesala]

I am sure I have subscribed to feeds on Tesla Daily before, but now I don't see the icon in the Address Field. Several other YouTube channels suffer from the same issue.

Stable and Snapshot both exhibit the same issue.

I do see the RSS button on Now You Know.

@Pesala Is this issue: VB-93235 "RSS feed not detected on youtube channel" - Confirmed by me now.

@Pesala I can confirm this.
Strange as the HTML code of web page has a declaration for RSS
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCgYkuL87rUwiBl7tqfN53Eg">

@DoctorG Not my bug. It is more recent than any of mine. I wonder if a recent Chrome update caused it as it affect 5.5 Stable too?

Just noticed this issue when browsing youtube, good to see that an issue has already been filed. I'll add my finding and hope that helps.

Youtube recently gave every channel a "handle" (I beileve it's the term youtube use), as in @<the handle> format, and now you can access the channel through either the old style link (https://www.youtube.com/channel/<the channel ID>) or the "handle URL" (https://www.youtube.com/@<the handle>)

One thing I noticed is that if I go to a channel through the old style link, the RSS feed button will still be there and I can add the feed with no problem. But with the new "handle URL" the button will be missing.

@cst0827 Do you know of any way to discover the Channel ID from the Channel?

[DoctorG]

Feedbro, the feed reader extension i daily use, can find the RSS feed in the channel.

@Pesala I don't think you can find the old style channel ID through youtube UI now, I just got the ID by checking source code of the channel page.
