We got some questions about support for platforms like Soundcloud, Mixcloud and alike. While it may be cool to have a feature to simply paste/open channel URLs in AntennaPod, [it's been decided](https://github.com/AntennaPod/AntennaPod/issues/1297) to not implement it. Such platforms may come and disappear, while it's quite some work for our volunteers to implement this feature. If you're a developer, you're of course welcome to discuss a proposal that you'd be happy to implement.
# What you can do to subscribe to a channel
**Soundcloud** allows [producers to create podcasts](http://help.soundcloud.com/customer/portal/articles/1197932-how-do-i-find-my-rss-feed-) from their content pretty easily. You should reach out to them, share this link, and ask if they're willing to set it up.
**Soundcloud** allows [producers to create podcasts](http://help.soundcloud.com/customer/portal/articles/1197932-how-do-i-find-my-rss-feed-) from their content pretty easily. You should reach out to them, share the SoundCloud help page (linked just before), and ask if they're willing to set it up.
**Mixcloud** unfortunately doesn't offer this option for content creators. As always, there's someone in the podcasting community to come up with a solution. You should [check out the options](http://www.openparenthesis.org/2015/01/05/mixcloud-to-rss-with-enclosures) as laid out in this post.
**YouTube** allows you subscribe to a channel's feed: Just add `https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<CHANNEL_ID>` to AntennaPod. You can find the channel id in the URL of the channel. If the channel you want to subscribe to is a user account (with a URL like youtube.com/user/UserName), you can contact the user to ask for their channel id (here it's explained [here's how](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/3250431?hl=en))
We don't have any information on **other platforms**, as you can see. We're happy to include it here if you share your thoughts via the [Google group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/antennapod), but you can also include basic info and references on this wiki page :)
