I recently decided to move to Samsung from OnePlus and am currently using the S21 FE 5g. Over the past few days, I have been exploring OneUI and it has been incredible so far!
I am absolutely loving it!

One issue I'm facing though is that I am not able to add certain apps to the Game Launcher - in particular, YouTube. 
I always used to block notifications and and any sort of disturbances while watching YouTube videos on my previous OnePlus phone.
I am a heavy consumer of content on YouTube and spend a lot of time on the app. I would love to have a seamless, disturbance-free experience. 

As of now, a work-around I've found is muting the notifications volume every time I am on YouTube - kinda cumbersome, but it's all I could do. The pop-ups of a notification don't really seem to bother me as they don't take up much screen real-estate and also give me the flexibility to attend to them if they're important.
So if there's any way to add YouTube to the Game Launcher, I would be able to block notifications while the app is in use.

Also, I'm unable to add Instagram to the pop-up panel in the Game Booster. This isn't as important, but would still help.

If anyone could help me out with any of these, I would be very grateful!

Looking forward to the OneUI experience.

Thanks everyone!

Just hold the notification and from there you can turn it off.
You can also do it by going to notifications in settings.
