This is a type of comment that is visible to the creator of the video. These are not visible to regular viewers of the video, but they help you grow your YouTube channel. Here are some tips to make a highlighted comment. First, you must read all comments before writing one. Use simple words and express appreciation for the YouTuber&#8217;s talent. Second, make sure there are no grammatical errors. Remember, Google hates grammatical errors, so make sure you cross check facts before you publish.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Highlighted_comments_are_not_a_show_of_approval_by_the_video_creator\"><\/span>Highlighted comments are not a show of approval by the video creator<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube highlighted comments are not a sign of video creator approval, and other viewers should not view them as such. Instead, they are a way for YouTube users to get notified of new activity on a particular comment thread. The highlighted comment appears when a video has at least one comment, and YouTube makes the user aware of this via email, a notification bell, and the comments section of their YouTube dashboard.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube is not responsible for the comments posted by users. Although it has partnered with Google+ to power the comment section, the platform is not liable for the content of these comments. Highlighted comments on YouTube are posts from popular YouTube personalities, users in their Google+ Circles, and users from their own networks. While this might seem like a good idea, YouTube does not count comments that are duplicated.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_are_not_visible_to_regular_viewers\"><\/span>They are not visible to regular viewers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A &#8220;Highlighted Comment&#8221; is a special comment you can add to your YouTube video. This comment is visible to viewers who have chosen to receive email notifications whenever someone posts a new comment. Highlighted comments appear at the top of the comment list with a &#8220;highlighted&#8221; URL that reminds you of a particular comment. Highlighted comments appear only when you&#8217;ve made a video with the &#8220;Highlighted Comment&#8221; option selected.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve added a video to your channel that contains a lot of highlighted comments, you&#8217;ll probably want to keep an eye on them. While you may not see them all, they might help you expand your audience. Highlighted comments are also helpful for improving the content of your video. Regular viewers can&#8217;t see them &#8211; they&#8217;ll only see them if they have subscribed to the channel.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_help_grow_your_YouTube_channel\"><\/span>They help grow your YouTube channel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Did you know that you can highlight your YouTube comments to improve your brand presence? Highlighted comments are the type of comment that shows up at the top of your comment list, above other pinned comments. Highlighted comments are an excellent way to increase the reach of your content, and this is a time-saving feature. You can also use this feature to highlight specific comments to attract more attention and viewers to your videos.<\/p>\n<p>One way to do this is to reply to comments. If you reply to comments, you will be highlighted in the search results. The algorithm on YouTube takes the number of comments you receive into account when ranking your videos. Therefore, replying to comments is a great way to increase your YouTube channel&#8217;s visibility. And it will also help your overall brand image. By highlighting comments on your videos, you will increase your visibility in search results.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_make_a_highlighted_comment\"><\/span>How to make a highlighted comment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve watched a video and left a comment, you might be wondering how to make a highlighted comment on YouTube. Highlighted comments are those that you choose to see. These are a great way to draw attention to an interesting or controversial topic. Highlighted comments are also easy to find when browsing videos. In addition to viewing them, they are also an easy way to share with others. You can also use highlighted comments to link to a website or post them on social media.<\/p>\n<p>The process is simple. Once you&#8217;ve added a comment to a video, you can then tag it with a &#8220;highlighted comment&#8221; tag. This tag will appear on your comment URL whenever you&#8217;ve linked it to your channel. Using the highlighted comment feature will give you more visibility on YouTube, but remember that you won&#8217;t receive notifications of other people&#8217;s comments. Just make sure to follow the steps below to highlight your comments on YouTube.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a Highlighted Comment on YouTube?
