Tips For Using YouTube Community Posts
This article is for those searching for how to use YouTube Community Posts.
The community tab is an opportunity for YouTube channels to create and publish content in other ways than uploading videos.
If you’ll soon have access to community posts starting October 12, you may not be familiar with what they can be used for.
The key is to not overthink it, or at least not any more than you would think about a Facebook post, for example.
Here are some ideas to start with:
Polls: Running polls in community posts allows you to get an idea of what your audience cares about, which can inspire ideas for new content.
Sharing: You can use community posts to share content from other creators or older videos in your archive that could use a boost.
Rich media: You can add photos, videos, and GIFs to community posts to keep audiences entertained between videos. Same as the types of posts you’d create for sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Updates: Keep your audience informed about important channel updates without creating an entire video.
For more ideas take a look at community posts from other channels and see what’s working for them.

How to Remove the Discussion Tab
When YouTube introduced the Community tab it was intended to eventually replace the Discussion tab.
Now that more creators will have access to community posts, YouTube is moving forward with its plans to remove the Discussion tab as it’s now obsolete.
The Discussion tab is an older feature that lets creators post text updates to viewers. The Community tab allows for text updates and a whole lot more, with the ability to add images, GIFs, polls, and videos.
YouTube is removing the Discussion tab for all channels on October 12, 2021. Until then creators can still access it from the channel page on desktop.
