Give Discord Roles to Your YouTube Subscribers — Verified, Automated, Real-Time
Members link YouTube with a Google sign-in, RoleLogic checks if they're subscribed to your channel, and the role is granted. Subscriptions are re-checked on a schedule — the moment they unsubscribe, the role goes too.
What you can build with YouTube Subscriber Role
Real use cases that ship in production Discord servers using RoleLogic + YouTube.
Subscriber-only Discord channels
Run a private community gated by a verified subscriber role. No honour system, no manual approvals — only people who actually subscribed get in.
Member perks that stay honest
Put giveaways, polls, early-access announcements, and emoji perks behind the Subscriber role. Anyone who unsubscribes loses access automatically on the next check.
Tiered creator rewards
Mix the Subscriber role with other RoleLogic plugins (Twitch follows, server boosts, GitHub contributions) to build layered tiers — 'YouTube + Twitch sub = VIP'.
See your real Discord audience
Find out exactly which Discord members are verified subscribers. A simple way to see how much of your Discord community actually subscribes on YouTube.
How YouTube Subscriber Role works
From install to live YouTube roles in a few minutes.
Add your YouTube channel ID
Paste the channel ID you want to check. The plugin only looks at whether someone is subscribed to that channel — nothing more invasive than that.
Members sign in with Google
One click. Members open the verification page, sign in with Google, and the plugin checks if they're subscribed.
Roles stay in sync automatically
RoleLogic re-checks subscriptions on its own — more often for active members, less often for quiet ones — and updates roles when something changes.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about YouTube Subscriber Role and RoleLogic.
Does the member's YouTube subscription have to be public?
Yes. YouTube only shares subscription info for people whose subscription list is public. If it's hidden, verification will fail — they'll need to turn off 'Keep all my subscribed channels private' in YouTube settings.
How often is subscription status re-checked?
Automatically, on a schedule that adapts to how active each member is. Active members are checked roughly 6× more often than quiet ones — usually every 30 minutes on small servers, a few hours on very large ones.
What does it cost in YouTube API quota?
RoleLogic stays within YouTube's free daily limit for most servers. Very large communities can ask Google for more or plug in their own credentials.
Do I need a Google Cloud project?
Only if you self-host. On hosted RoleLogic it's all set up for you — just paste your channel ID and you're done.
What happens when a member unsubscribes?
On the next check, RoleLogic notices and removes the Discord role for you. No manual revokes, no admin alerts to deal with.
