Following & feed

Following a channel adds it to your sidebar and feed, and is how you get “now live” notifications.

Following a channel

Select Follow on any channel. Followed channels appear under Following in the left sidebar, with a live indicator when they’re streaming. Select Following again to unfollow.

Following also earns you a one-time channel points bonus on channels that have points enabled.

Notifications from a channel

Following turns on that channel’s live and new video notifications by default. You can switch them off for one channel without unfollowing it — handy for a channel that streams daily when you only want to browse.

To turn a whole category of notification off everywhere, use Account → Notifications. See Notifications.

Your feed

The Feed page collects recent activity from channels you follow, in three tabs:

• All — everything together.
• Live — who’s streaming right now, refreshed as you watch.
• Videos — recently published videos, scrolling on as you reach the bottom.

The more relevant channels you follow, the more useful it gets.
