What Is YouTube Bell Icon?
You may have noticed that a bell icon shows up when you sign in to your YouTube account or subscribe to a channel. What is the function of the bell icon?
Introduced in September 2016, the YouTube bell icon is for notification. It will notify you of the comments or replies you receive and the update from your subscribed channel.
Customize Bell Settings
Click the bell icon next to your avatar and you will see the notifications you have received. To customize the notification settings, you can click the Settings icon at the top right corner and then enable or disable the listed options.
Can you customize the notification from your subscribed channel? Yes, you can.
When you subscribe to a YouTube channel, a bell icon will appear and the bell setting will be set to Personalized setting by default (there is an exception: if you subscribed to a video channel that is made for kids, the bell setting will automatically be set to no notifications).
The Personalization setting is ideal for the subscribed channels that are very heavy on notifiable content. This because the setting will stop you from being bombarded whilst but allow you to receive the notifications that YouTube feels will be of relevance.
If you want to customize the bell setting, click the notification bell and switch from the Personalized setting to the All settings or the None setting. The All setting allows you to receive every notification about activity on your subscribed channel. Enabling the None setting means you won’t receive any notifications from the channel.
That’s all about YouTube bell icon but the post does not end. Keep reading.
