And what is the difference between a Pinned comment and a highlighted comment? This article will explain both. Let&#8217;s look at the benefits of both. And, of course, why one comment is more valuable than the other. Let&#8217;s start with an example. In YouTube, a &#8220;Highlighted Comment&#8221; indicates that the comment has received more than 1,000 &#8220;likes&#8221; or &#8220;dislikes&#8221; or &#8220;likes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Highlighted_comment_on_youtube\"><\/span>Highlighted comment on youtube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Did you know that you can highlight comments on YouTube? If you&#8217;ve ever watched a video and wanted to know who posted it, you can do this with a click of a button. Highlighting a comment lets you see the comment in its full context, and you can reply to it using any method you choose. Once you&#8217;ve highlighted a comment, you can find it in your YouTube dashboard or email inbox and reply with a simple click.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever seen a highlighted comment on YouTube, you&#8217;ve most likely clicked on a notification when the comment was posted. This makes it easier to find and reply to that comment. However, you can&#8217;t edit it or delete it. It&#8217;s a part of the YouTube community, and it&#8217;s important to respect that. As long as you&#8217;re not posting a harmful comment, your comment will be highlighted on YouTube.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pinned_comment\"><\/span>Pinned comment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A pinned comment on YouTube has two primary purposes: to promote your video and encourage comments. It also serves as a more detailed version of the call-to-action (CTA) in your video. You can use a pinned comment to promote another video or event. Using a pinned comment is also a great way to incorporate a follow-up question. You can use a pinned comment as a supporting idea for your video, adding real testimonials to your content.<\/p>\n<p>Pinned comments on YouTube can also be used to promote other videos on a channel. If you have an active following, you can use this feature to ask questions of your audience, solicit their opinion, or make requests. If you use a pinned comment, your viewers will see your video sooner. If you want your comments to remain pinned, it is best to stay active in the comment section. The more comments you have pinned, the more people will interact with them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Highlighted_comment\"><\/span>Highlighted comment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What is a highlighted comment on YouTube? Highlighted comments are comments that are flagged for attention and placed on the top of all other comments. These are helpful for YouTube users, as they make it easier to skim through the comments. Highlighted comments can mean several different things. Below we&#8217;ll explore some of them&#8230;.And what does a highlighted comment on YouTube mean? It could be just the most helpful comment you&#8217;ve ever seen!<\/p>\n<p>To reply to a highlighted comment on YouTube, click on the link on the notification area. Alternatively, click on the video to go directly to the comment section. Either way, using a highlighted comment on YouTube can save you a lot of time and frustration. Highlighted comments are also known as &#8220;highlighted replies&#8221; and will appear whenever another user responds to a comment. This can be useful if you&#8217;re trying to get the attention of a single viewer who might be busy with work or other commitments.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pinned_comment_vs_highlighted_comment\"><\/span>Pinned comment vs highlighted comment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When viewing a video, you may be wondering how to distinguish between a pinned comment and a highlighted one. On YouTube, a highlighted comment is displayed above the first comment in the thread. The comment is highlighted to make it easier for users to find it and respond to it. On the other hand, a pinned comment is visible to all YouTube users. However, it is possible to have both types of comments on the same video at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>In the comment section, you can highlight a specific comment by selecting a thumb tac icon. This will make the comment appear at the top of the section. However, you can restore the highlighted comment to its original state. To do so, you will have to delete the part of the URL starting with &#8220;&amp;lc&#8221; and then hit enter. However, do not forget to do this every time you open a video on YouTube.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits\"><\/span>Benefits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Aside from the SEO benefits of highlighted comments, highlighting a comment also improves the overall viewing experience for viewers. YouTube allows users to highlight comments. However, it&#8217;s important to note that highlighted comments can be removed after viewing. Highlighted comments are not enough for most brands. To take full advantage of highlighted comments, here are some tips for YouTube creators. Read on to learn more. Here are some benefits of highlighted comments on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>High visibility: A highlighted comment is at the top of the comment section. Many viewers scroll down to read comments, and those that are highlighted will be seen first. In addition, viewers will check the channels of the commentators, and many will subscribe to their channel. So, how can highlighted comments boost the visibility of your content?
