Finding your Youtube comments can be a daunting task! Comments are intended to give you an opportunity to interact with your audience, but without the feature that enables users to write their own responses to videos, YouTube would be a rather one-sided experience.
On the other hand, too many comments can prove distracting and even inappropriate or offensive at times. If you want people viewing your video to leave comments, you can let them know how to do so.
How To Find YouTube comments
While viewing a video on YouTube, look in the bottom right-hand corner of the video player for a small icon that looks like a globe. Clicking this icon will provide you with several options — “About,” “In This Video,” “Trailers” and “More from <Video title>” — and you can also subscribe to the creator’s YouTube channel. You should see “Comments” in the list of options.
When you click this, it will provide links to comments made on that video. If you want to be notified when new comments are posted, scroll down to the bottom of the page where you’ll find a box that says “Allow notifications when people comment on my videos.” Click the box to turn it green and activate this feature.
How do I find comments about me on YouTube?
You can’t view all of the comments made about you on your own channel, but if someone makes a comment about you on someone else’s channel, you’ll receive an email that the comment is waiting for moderation. You can click “view all <username> comments” to see what they’ve said about you.
Again, if there are too many comments for your liking, go back to the video and look in its information section (the globe icon) to find a link to turn off comment notifications for that video.
How do I find old comments on my YouTube videos?
If you want to find older comments, you can use a web browser’s search function for your own channel. If you’re using Internet Explorer, simply type “site:youtube.com” in the address bar followed by a space, and then enter your username before hitting “Enter.”
In Google Chrome, press “control-L” to open the browser’s location bar and then type “in:youtube.com/user/username” in the address bar before hitting “Enter.”
This should produce a list of all comments made on your videos. If you’re using Microsoft Edge, press “control-R” to open the browser’s location bar and then type “site:youtube.com/user/username” in the address bar before hitting “Enter.”
The YouTube comment system is a great way to allow users to interact with people who post videos. If you want everyone viewing your video to leave comments, nothing is stopping you from letting them know how to do so. While viewing a video on YouTube, look in the bottom right-hand corner of the video player for a small icon that looks like a globe.
Clicking this icon will give you several options — “About,” “In This Video,” “Trailers” and “More from <Video Title>” — and you can also subscribe to the creator’s YouTube channel. You should see “Comments” in the list of options. Another option is to buy real YouTube comments to build up those conversations!
