Timestamping a comment allows YouTube to show the user&#8217;s time on the video, rather than the time it was posted. To timestamp a comment, simply type the timestamp into the box, and click the blue &#8220;comment&#8221; button. After you&#8217;ve done that, you&#8217;ll be able to post your comment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_new_feature_allows_users_to_comment_on_a_video_at_a_specific_time_in_the_video\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s new feature allows users to comment on a video at a specific time in the video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A new feature has been introduced by YouTube that lets you comment on a video at a specific moment in the video. Until the full implementation of the new feature, users can only comment on videos that they have viewed. The new feature is being tested on a few videos and with a limited group of users. Those who are part of the test group can access the feature by visiting their videos&#8217; comments section. Once there, tap on the Sort button and look for the Timed Beta option.<\/p>\n<p>If you watch a lot of videos on YouTube, you may want to enable the new feature. The &#8220;most replayed&#8221; feature shows the part of a video that has been most replayed. This feature does not show the time stamp, but it shows where viewers have commented the most. This is helpful if you are watching long videos without video chapters and have already watched the video several times.<\/p>\n<p>This new feature also allows you to loop certain chapters of a video. This feature is similar to the existing commenting feature on YouTube. However, instead of commenting on a whole video, you can only comment on a specific chapter. Instead of leaving comments on a specific spot in the video, you can comment at a particular point in the video and leave feedback for the creator.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Format_for_timestamps\"><\/span>Format for timestamps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many ways to format text in YouTube comments. These options are not as intuitive as they are in text editors. There is a way to bold or italicize text, however. To bold text, you should use the asterisk symbol. You can use other text formatting options as well, such as using different fonts or color schemes. Using the appropriate text formatting style can make your comment stand out. This article will discuss the various options available to you.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know how to format your YouTube comments, the following tips can help. First, be careful about the quality of your comments. Don&#8217;t post inappropriate or offensive comments. YouTube may not format your comments for some reason. In such a case, you should consider buying commentaries from an online company that uses real people. This will help you get more comments and interact with your audience. Second, try to post on other sites where people talk about your brand.<\/p>\n<p>You can also highlight relevant comments. YouTube&#8217;s new format allows you to highlight a single comment. This way, you&#8217;ll never have to scroll down a long list of comments to see a single comment. Instead, the comment will open a new comments stream. This change will make your comments more visible to everyone, and you won&#8217;t have to scroll down to read them. However, you should make sure that your content&#8217;s description contains a link to your channel.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Highlighting_highlighted_comments\"><\/span>Highlighting highlighted comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube has a way of highlighting certain comments. Highlighted comments are gray marks next to the time they were posted. They appear before pinned comments and the first comment. Highlighting these comments is a convenient way to keep track of what you&#8217;ve said. Highlighting comments also sends you notifications when other people leave comments in the thread. In essence, it acts as a bookmark for comments. But does this feature violate the user&#8217;s privacy? This article will explain whether or not this feature has any privacy implications.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a YouTube content creator, you should highlight relevant comments. You may want to highlight the comments of viewers who are interested in technical information, because those viewers will likely examine highlighted comments. YouTube has a feature called highlighted comments, which makes your life easier by showing the most important comments at the top of the list. It&#8217;s also a time saver. It&#8217;s not rocket science, but it&#8217;s a great way to improve the effectiveness of your YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<p>To highlight a YouTube comment, just click on the highlighted comment link. The highlighted comment will display above pinned comments, so viewers can easily navigate to them. It&#8217;s also easier to distinguish between useful feedback and irrelevant trolls. The highlighted comment also makes it easier to share the comments with others. But if you want to share it on social media, you can also embed the link to it in your post. And, it&#8217;s even easier to see highlighted comments in a video than to read their original text.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"277\" width=\"496\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WAjwmSOX2QM\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Timestamp YouTube Comments You&#8217;ve probably seen YouTube&#8217;s new feature that allows users to timestamp comments.
