How to Set Up a Recurring Reminder for a YouTube Live Stream

YouTube’s Notify me option covers an individual scheduled stream. For a repeating reminder, save the channel’s schedule in a calendar and check notification settings.
Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

YouTube does not document a setting that automatically reminds you about every recurring live stream from a channel. To get an alert for a specific scheduled stream, open its watch page and select Notify me. For a repeating reminder, add the channel’s schedule to a calendar or reminder app and keep YouTube notifications enabled as a backup.

Turn on YouTube notifications for members-only live streams

  1. In YouTube, open Settings → Notifications.

  2. Make sure notifications for members-only content are enabled. YouTube says members may receive a notification or email when a channel schedules a members-only live stream that is due to begin in 30 minutes. This is a notification tied to a scheduled stream, not a customizable recurring reminder. YouTube Help: Use & manage your channel membership benefits on YouTube

Set a reminder for one upcoming stream

  1. Open the watch page for the scheduled live stream.

  2. Select Notify me. YouTube describes this control as a way to get notified when a live stream or Premiere goes live. It applies to that upcoming event; do not assume it enrolls you for later streams in the series. YouTube Help: Watch live streams – Computer

Create a reminder that repeats with the channel’s schedule

For a regular weekly or monthly schedule, use a calendar or reminder app you already have. Create a repeating event for the published time and include the channel or stream link in the event details. This is a manual workaround, not a YouTube feature documented in YouTube’s help pages. If the creator changes the schedule, update the event; a calendar cannot know that a stream moved unless you change it.

Check settings that can prevent or delay alerts

Channel, account, and device notification settings

For standard subscriber live-stream notifications, select All in the channel’s notification control and allow YouTube notifications for both your account and device. YouTube says these conditions affect delivery. For encoder broadcasts, YouTube must detect that the public stream is live before subscriber notifications are sent.

Android Scheduled digest

On Android, check Settings → Notifications → Scheduled digest. This option combines push notifications, including live-stream alerts, and YouTube warns that a notification may arrive only after the stream has ended. If you need a timely alert, turn off the digest for YouTube notifications. YouTube Help: Notifications: scheduled digest – Android

Notification limits

YouTube documents a limit of up to three notifications per channel in 24 hours for uploads, live streams, and Premieres, plus one Community post notification in three days. These are YouTube operational limits, not a guarantee that every eligible notification will reach a device. YouTube Help: Fix subscriber notification problems
