Hi PeterJ_Inobits
You could do this with a web tab. Get the URL of the page on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/user/windowsazure), then in the channel > Add Tab > Web Page > add URL
Currently there isn't a connector for YouTube like RSS/Trello etc which would pull through a notification every time a video is added to a Channel. You could use Power Automate to get it in there
https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/search/?q=youtube
You could also technically sign up for an MSN account, then subscribe to the YouTube channel and then forward email from the MSN account to a Teams channel address. I personally would just use the webpage tab instead. I wouldn't recommend this approach
So go with the website tab or the Power Automate connector 😄
Hope that answers your question

Thanks Chris. I thought it might be something like that. So the idea would be to have a PowerAutomate app that had credentials in it of an account that was subscribed to the YouTube Channel in question and every time a new video was added it would post the link into the channel right?
Now to go off down the PowerAutomate rabbit hole 😉
