Subscriber Guide

Add your private feed to a supported app

YouTube Music does not support externally added private RSS feeds. Use Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or Castbox — paste your private feed URL directly into the app and every track will start showing up on that device. For Pocket Casts, the verified import path is the iPhone or Android app; the desktop app surfaces episodes once they’ve synced from your account.

Quick Steps
