As a content creator, Youtube has a feature where you can create community posts. This feature works for content creators to enable community posts to interact with viewers through multimedia. Community posts can include polls, GIFs, text, images, and videos. Community posts allow you to continue to engage with your audience beyond comments on the videos you upload. Community posts always appear on the Community tab, and may appear in the Home or Subscriptions feed. So How to Create Community Posts on Youtube for Content Creator?
Creators with more than 500 subscribers can access Community posts. It can take up to 1 week to see the Community Tab after the 500 subscriber limit is passed. The Community tab may also be available for other channels as Youtube continues to test this feature.

Types of Community Posts on Youtube
Text posts
To create a text post, enter your message in the text box on the Community tab of your channel. You can post your text by itself, or with a video, image or GIF. Text posts can’t be combined with polls.
Playlist posts
If you have Community posts turned on, you can post playlists from artists that you enjoy.
Open the playlist that you’d like to share and copy the URL. Paste the playlist URL in the text field when creating your Community post.
Image and GIF posts
You can choose to upload up to five images with your post. Click image to select images or animated GIFs from your computer.
Guidelines
- Size: Up to 16 MB
- File types: JPG, PNG, GIF or WEBP
- Suggested aspect ratio: We suggest 1:1 ratio because that’s how images are shown in the feed. Viewers can see the full image by clicking to expand it.
Bear in mind that all images must follow YouTube Community Guidelines.
Video posts
If you choose to add a video to your post, you can either:
- Search for a YouTube video
- Paste in a YouTube video URL
- Select a video from your YouTube channel
When you create a post that shares a video by another creator, a notification may be sent to the original uploader of the video. This notification helps creators acknowledge when other creators are sharing their videos.
Note: Community posts about a video that is already in a viewer’s Subscription or Home feed might not be shown again. This setting prevents your viewers from seeing the same video repeatedly.
Polls
If you choose to add a poll to your post, you’ll be asked to:
- Enter a question in the text field.
- Enter answers in the ‘Add option’ fields.
- If you need more answer fields, click +Add another option and enter the questions and answers.
Note: Poll options can be 65 characters max.
Manage your activity
You can see and manage a history of your activity on Community posts. This feature is only available on a computer.

- From the left, click History.
- From the right under ‘History type’, click Community. You’ll see your Community post history.
