First of all, you have to sign into YouTube to do this. Next, go to the Comment History page. Here, you can choose to view or delete specific comments. You can also report comments that contain spam or abuse. After reading this article, you will be able to delete all unwanted comments from YouTube. Now, let&#8217;s look at how to highlight and disable comments on your videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Highlighted_comments_on_youtube\"><\/span>Highlighted comments on youtube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Highlighted comments on YouTube are not good, they are not always useful, and they can raise privacy concerns. To remove a highlighted comment, go to the video you want to delete and select &#8216;edit&#8217; in the settings. Alternatively, you can click the &#8216;unhighlight&#8217; button at the bottom of the highlighted comment to remove it completely. Regardless of your reasons for wanting to remove highlighted comments, there are many ways to do it.<\/p>\n<p>The process is very simple. To highlight a comment, click the timestamp next to the user&#8217;s name. You&#8217;ll get a notification when another person highlights your comment. If you&#8217;re the one who highlights a comment, no other person will see it. However, anyone else won&#8217;t see the highlighted label. To access the highlighted comment, click on the timestamp again or open the video and navigate to the time stamp of the comment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disabled_comments_on_youtube\"><\/span>Disabled comments on youtube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Disabled comments on YouTube are now a thing of the past. You can turn off discussions on your videos to avoid a potential backlash from spammers. Disabling comments on YouTube is as easy as selecting the setting, and then saving. However, you should remember that this won&#8217;t automatically remove all comments from your videos. If you want to keep your comments as active as possible, you need to moderate them properly.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered why some videos on YouTube no longer allow comments, you&#8217;re not alone. YouTube&#8217;s policy has changed so that comments are no longer allowed on videos that contain kids or videos featuring children. Fortunately, there are still many YouTube users with videos featuring no children. The only way to ensure that your videos do not have this problem is to disable comments on YouTube before you post them. Leaving comments on videos is an important way to connect with viewers and develop loyalty with subscribers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reporting_spam_or_abuse_on_youtube\"><\/span>Reporting spam or abuse on youtube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube allows community members to report inappropriate content, like livestream messages or comments. There are different ways to report spam and abuse, including reporting comments, video thumbnails, and livestream messages. These steps can help YouTube remove or limit abusive content, and will also protect users from being tricked by unscrupulous creators. Here are the steps to report abusive content. Follow these steps to prevent your content from being flagged as spam.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid posting content that targets or insults minors, particularly those under the legal age of majority. This includes offensive language, name calling, and pictures of people. Content that promotes violence, incites harassment, or shows hostage situations is prohibited. These types of content will be removed if YouTube finds them. To report abusive content, log into your YouTube account and follow the steps outlined below. You can also report spam or abuse of other users or groups.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_comments_on_youtube\"><\/span>Editing comments on youtube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few different ways you can edit and delete comments on YouTube. You can also choose to delete comments entirely if you feel that they are not relevant to your video. You can edit your comments while viewing your video. Depending on the type of comment, you may be able to change the text and date, or delete it entirely. In this article, we&#8217;ll cover the first two methods. You can find out how to edit and delete comments on YouTube here.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube lets you disable comments, hold some for review, or disallow all. To turn off comments for a video, you need to click the &#8220;Hold&#8221; button. After you have made your changes, you can go back to the previous screen by tapping the left arrow icon. Tap &#8220;Save&#8221; to save your changes. Leaving some comments in place can help reduce spam and other inappropriate comments on YouTube. You can also report a comment if you think that it&#8217;s inappropriate.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_your_channel_from_YouTube\"><\/span>Hide your channel from YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to remove content from your YouTube channel, visit your Google account settings. Click the &#8220;Overview&#8221; tab and then click on &#8220;Delete channel.&#8221; If you want to hide your content, go to the settings page and click on the &#8216;Hide my content&#8217; option. Then click &#8216;Hide channel&#8217; again. Once you&#8217;ve finished editing your channel, you can turn it public again. Then, you can add your name and profile picture.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to keep your content private, you can choose to permanently delete your YouTube channel. This action will remove all posts, comments, and replies from your YouTube channel. If you change your mind later, you can re-enable it. Hide your YouTube channel from comments and replies is an option you have available on many websites. To do this, sign in to YouTube, click Advanced settings, and then click &#8216;Delete channel&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VCIxVzdAh40\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"220\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete Comments on YouTube Do you want to delete comments on your YouTube videos?
