YouTube Icon

Q: When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for subscribe links and channel buttons in a creator's site header or link in bio page; embedded players on a course, product or docs page that stream a video hosted on YouTube; and link fields in a page or email builder that turn a pasted YouTube URL into a player. For the start overlay centered on a thumbnail in a player you host, use the Play Circle icon. For a Videos tab of clips uploaded to your own site or profile, use the Clapperboard icon. For playlists and a subscriptions list in a streaming app of your own, use the Video Stack icon.

Play triangle inside a rounded rectangle, the YouTube logo, for channel links, video embeds and social profiles. Available in 4 styles (outline, solid, duotone and filled) as a React component you install with the shadcn CLI.

YouTube icon FAQ

What does this icon show?

Play triangle inside a rounded rectangle, the YouTube logo, for channel links, video embeds and social profiles. Typical uses: link to YouTube channel, embed or share video and social media profile link.

When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for:

Subscribe links and channel buttons in a creator's site header or link in bio page
Embedded players on a course, product or docs page that stream a video hosted on YouTube
Link fields in a page or email builder that turn a pasted YouTube URL into a player

For the start overlay centered on a thumbnail in a player you host, use the Play Circle icon. For a Videos tab of clips uploaded to your own site or profile, use the Clapperboard icon. For playlists and a subscriptions list in a streaming app of your own, use the Video Stack icon.

Which styles does it come in?

4 styles: Outline, Solid, Duotone and Filled. Every style is drawn on the same 24 by 24 grid and installs as its own file, so you can switch styles without touching the layout.

How do I install it with the shadcn CLI?

Copy the install command from the panel above, in the style you want, and run it in your project. The shadcn CLI adds the icon as a React component that you import and render like any other. It draws in the current text color, so your text color and size classes style it. Icon installs need a ReUI Ultimate license.

What icons go well with it?

Instagram and TikTok sit beside it in the same toolbar or menu. More from the same family and the Brands set: Android, Angular, Apple and Behance.

When was it added?

It joined the ReUI icon library on June 30, 2026.
