To get the RSS feed of a YouTube channel, follow these steps:

1. Obtain the Channel ID:
- Go to the YouTube channel you want the RSS feed for.
- In the browser URL, if it looks like https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxxxxxxx, the part starting with "UC" is the Channel ID. If it shows a custom name like https://www.youtube.com/c/channelname, you'll need to get the channel ID from that custom URL.
- To get the ID from a custom URL:
1. Go to the channel.
2. Right-click anywhere on the page and select "View page source" or press Ctrl+U.
3. Search for the term "channelId", and the value next to it (starting with "UC") is the Channel ID.

2. Create the RSS Feed URL:
- Use the following format:
Code:
     https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID
- Replace CHANNEL_ID with the actual Channel ID you found in the first step.

For example, if the Channel ID is UCabcd1234, the RSS feed would be:
Code:
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCabcd1234

That's your RSS feed URL! You can now use this URL in any RSS reader.
