I follow about 40-50 Youtube channels.
Most don't have notification email, etc.

Any Youtube program that can check if channels have new videos in last
24h or more?

You can see here there's code for that, but there's also
the issue of "billing for services rendered". Say a person called
the Google APIs a million times a day. This would slow down a Google
server. To stop that, maybe you give away a thousand calls to the
API, then bill for the others in excess of that limit. The end result
is, this interface may not be intended for a personal desktop.

It might be used for a website that "scrapes" youtube and makes
curated lists of things to watch. By using a website, you do the
calc once a day, then share the computation with others for the
rest of the day. This scales better in the long run.

Another possibility, would be to see if there is some kind
of RSS feed interface for these things.

I'm not much of a web monkey, so that's all I've got.

I use Freetube, it is the only way I still access Youtube. It is not
perfect (needs regular updates), but it is so much better than Google's
constant nagging with all kinds of notificiations and verifications and
what not.

Freetube at least allows to pick a video and start playing it
immediately, just like it should be. And yes, you can subscribe to
channels too. To check if there are any new videos on your subscribed
channels, just open Freetube, it will display all new videos from your
subscribed channels first.

Google discontinued YT New Video notification mails in 2020.

Subscribe to the channel? I get an SMS when something new, but this
seems not to work all the time. Might be over the top for 40-50
channels if they are active.

Of course for that to work you need to sign into YT first.

Does Google really send you an SMS if a new video has been uploaded to a channel you subscribed or is that just the notification by the YouTube app on your phone?

Just checked again, my bad. As you say, no SMS.

Subscribe to each channel, and then

There seems to be no rss feed, discontinued?

It seems so, but here I found a script that provides that, maybe check
it out.
