How to Fix YouTube Community Tab NOT Showing

1. Check YouTube Community Tab's Requirements

If you doesn't meet the YouTube Community Tab requirements, the feature will not show on your YouTube Channel. Furthermore, YouTube may also have specific account age requirements, and it can take up to a week after reaching the subscriber threshold for the feature to become available. You also need to know that it may take up to 48 hours for your channel to update and the community tab to show.

YouTube Community Tab Requirements

Here are the eligibility requirements for the YouTube Community Tab to show on your YouTube Channel:

• You must be 18 years plus to enable this feature on your YouTube Channel.
• Your channel must have at-least 500 subscribers to enable the YouTube Community Tab.

Once you meet these requirements, it may take 7-days for the feature to show. However, once you enable turn ON the feature through the advanced features for your channel, then it may take up to 48 hours for your channel to update and the community tab to show.

In addition to the requirements, you may also need to gain access to the Community Tab on YouTube by meeting one of these criteria: channel history, video verification, or a valid ID.

Lastly, the Community Tab will not be visible to your viewers if your channel is set as "Made for Kids"—only you can view past posts. Make sure your channel has at least 500 subscribers and verify that it's not set as "Made for Kids" to access the Community Tab.

2. Update your YouTube App

If you've tried all the solutions explained above and the community tab is still not showing, then you may need to update your YouTube App. Make sure your YouTube app is updated to the latest version because older versions might not have the newest features. You can check for updates in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

If you're still having issues, try refreshing the app by pulling down on the screen or closing and reopening it. If you're using an Android device, you can clear the cache and data by going to Settings > Apps > YouTube > Storage, and tapping "Clear Cache" and "Clear Data." You can also uninstall and reinstall the app to get a fresh, updated version.

3. Use YouTube on Web Browser

If the app is problematic, try accessing YouTube through a web browser on your device or computer to see if the Community Tab is visible there. This can help determine if the issue is app-specific. However, if the community tab is still not showing on the web, then try to use a different web browser or view the Community Tab using a private browsing mode without logging in.

In conclusion, following these steps should help you troubleshoot and potentially fix the issue with the Community Tab not showing on your YouTube channel.
