Config YouTube

YouTube

New uploads from your YouTube subscriptions in the notification center: they merge into the list with thumbnails, a YouTube icon in the header filters to them, and clicking one opens the video. Dismissing hides an item locally only — YouTube has no read/done API.

Section: [youtube]

Key	Type	Default	What it does
enabled	bool	false	Master toggle for YouTube notifications
poll_minutes	int	60	Minutes between syncs (clamped to 15 minimum); each sync fetches the uploads playlist of every subscribed channel (~1 quota unit per subscription — the default 10k/day quota fits ~275 subscriptions hourly), and the interval is raised automatically when your subscription count would exceed the quota

Setup:

• Uses the same Google OAuth client as [calendar] — no credentials to create or install.
• Sign in once per Google account via the browser consent; the center's YouTube filter shows a "Sign in to YouTube" button until then.
• Tokens are stored in ~/.config/wam-shell/youtube-tokens.json (keep it chmod 600) — never put credentials in config.toml.

Comments and replies are not available via any API, so only new uploads appear.
