How do I manage comments on my videos?

Managing comments on YouTube videos is an important task for creators who want to foster a positive community and engage with their audience. YouTube provides several features that allow creators to control the comments section effectively. First, creators can enable or disable comments entirely on their videos through the video settings in the YouTube Studio. Additionally, creators have the option to hold potentially inappropriate comments for review. This function allows them to decide which comments they want to approve before they appear publicly. Creators can also set specific keywords that will trigger the automatic filtering of comments containing those terms. When engaging with comments, YouTube encourages creators to interact with their viewers by responding to comments or liking them, which can encourage a vibrant discussion. Creators can access these comment management options through their YouTube Studio dashboard, where they can view all comments, respond, or delete comments as they see fit. It is essential to monitor comments regularly to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all viewers. For further assistance, looking at the YouTube Help section on the website can provide additional guidance.
