content: It has nothing to do with electronics, but it was like this.I have a youtube channel, that was not meant to have any videos, only to be used to for subscribing to other channels and for commenting. But, one day I wanted to show to my friend some inserts form The Only Fools and Horses sitcom (the best sitcom ever made). I could not find those specific scenes, so I decided to upload them myself and send him a link. Couple a years later, I have 4 videos and 21 subscribers.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3zgpLzSOkdeEDC9o8AitWgI know it is nothing, but I decided to make a separate channel and move those videos to it. I am planing to upload a video every now and then. Now I have 6 videos on that channel and 0 subscribers.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsDLnTuTxVy95NJZhYFgerAMy question is, how can I send a message to my 21 subscribers to inform them that I have "moved" to a separate channel and I will only be uploading new videos to that channel, so that (at least some of them) will subscribe to it?

content: By the time you finished typing your post, you probably could have cut-and-pasted your message to each user one at a time?Either that or post another video in your "old" channel for everyone to see, that directs them to the "new" channel.

content: Quote from: Halcyon on September 02, 2016, 08:48:03 amYeah, but on a slow computer, it is very frustrating to do.Quote from: vk3yedotcom on September 02, 2016, 11:57:55 amNot really, but thanks.I have seen few tutorials on how to do this, but they are all obsolete. Google changes user interface and options every week. :/Well, thanks for help. I will just send individual messages.

content: It turns out, I don’t know how to send a message. -.-I mean, how can I send a message to this guy? He does not even have "About" tab???https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqwm1I99UAkq07qcbySsQWAEdit: LOL, I could only send a message to 1 of the 21 subscribers, because only that one has "about" tab (where "send a message" button is)! Got to hate Google.

content: If you don't make videos, then what's the point of notifying your subscribers?! I don't quite understand what you're trying to achieve here?If you're re-posting someone else's content, can I suggest you don't? If you don't own the right to material, then just leave it alone. Leave it up to the content creator to promote.

content: Just make a video on your old channel explaining why and where. It's what is used by most everybody.

content: Make the text based video, around 2 minutes long, and use some of the YT free muzak as audio, then post it.Simple enough, and good for random people who come onto your channel and allow them to follow you on the new, even years later.
