[image] [image] I see just about every other social media icon in here.

I don’t think the YouTube icon is already used somewhere in Discourse, so you need to add fab-youtube to the SVG icon subset site setting before you can use it.

Hello @hipp0 While there is no general youtube Icon if your refering to making a new section on the sidebar then try for youtube use the Play [image] This can be used in place and still works while i know im not telling why there isnt a fab-icon because i dont know i am giving this as a replacement

Fontawesome lists it as an icon: [image] Youtube Brand Logo Icon (Brands) — SVG Download | Font Awesome Download the Youtube logo as a SVG or PNG. The official Youtube brand icon for video players, streaming apps, and media tools. Making it strange that it isn’t listed. Could you enable the Styleguide plugin > /styleguide > Icons > Look for ‘youtube’ to find if it’s there.

Thanks this worked by adding the fab-youtube

How would I add this newspaper icon? [image] Newspaper Outline Icon (Classic Regular) — Free SVG Download | Font Awesome Download the Newspaper outline icon as a free SVG or PNG. A lightweight Classic Regular style icon for web and app projects.

You add far-newspaper to the setting. Some hints: Discourse currently uses FontAwesome 6, so when you search for icons, make sure that you select the correct version, otherwise the names might be different. When you look at the icon Newspaper Outline Icon (Classic Regular) — Free SVG Download | Font Awesome, you can tell whether it’s a regular, solid, or brand icon by looking at the HTML example. [image] This one says “fa-regular”, so you know it’s a regular icon, and combined with the description of the site setting “Use no prefix for solid icons, ‘far-’ for regular icons, and ‘fab-’ for brand icons,” you know to use far- as the prefix.
