Sure, you may get the occasional hater. But without them, YouTube would not exist. If you&#8217;re trying to build a community, comments are an invaluable tool. To start growing a community, turn comments on. If you&#8217;d like to share your ideas or thoughts, turn comments on and let your viewers express themselves below your videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disable_or_enable_YouTube_comments\"><\/span>Disable or enable YouTube comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to disable or enable YouTube comments, you must sign into your YouTube account first. Once you have signed in, click the Dashboard tab and choose &#8216;Videos&#8217;. Click the Edit video button and click the More options arrow at the bottom. Select &#8216;Comments&#8217; from the dropdown menu and click Disable or enable comments. If you do not want other users to leave comments, you can hold off on enabling comments until you review them.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to disable or enable comments, you need to go to the settings of the video. Click on &#8216;Comments&#8217; in the left-hand menu. Toggling on or off comments will enable or disable them. Click the &#8216;Disabled comments&#8217; button. Then, click &#8216;Save&#8217; to apply the changes. This will disable all comments. You can also select the &#8216;Off&#8217; option in the right-hand panel.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manage_comment_settings\"><\/span>Manage comment settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube allows users to manage comments on their videos. You can enable or disable comments for a video or hold any comment deemed inappropriate for review. Manage comment settings on YouTube are available on the desktop website and mobile apps. You can also manage comment history, flag comments, and enable or disable background refresh. If you have trouble managing comments on your video, use YouTube Studio. It is available in any web browser. Here are some tips to help you manage comment settings on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>Disable comments: If you do not want to see any comments on a video, you can turn them off. To do this, click on the lock icon on the comments box, and then select the comment you want to hold for review. Then, click Save. The lock icon will disappear. You can change the comment settings to allow or disallow comments on a specific video. However, if you want to keep the comments on all your videos, you can select this option.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_off_all_comments_on_a_video\"><\/span>Turn off all comments on a video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re the kind of person who&#8217;d like to block unwanted comments from spouting off about your latest video, you can turn off all comments on a YouTube video. You can do this by selecting the option that says &#8220;Hold potentially inappropriate comments for review.&#8221; You can also turn off comments for all videos, and you can even change the visibility of specific comments to prevent them from appearing on other people&#8217;s videos. Regardless of the reason, YouTube takes its responsibility to protect the safety of minors very seriously.<\/p>\n<p>The first reason to turn off comments is because it seems like the business is trying to hide from the users. This is a myth that is widely held, but most users understand the reasons behind it. Disabled comments are seen as a sign of disinterest from the business. Likewise, businesses that remove review options are usually doing so because of negative reviews or comments. If you&#8217;re considering turning off comments on your video, you may want to consider the benefits of disabling comments first.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_all_comments_on_a_video\"><\/span>Delete all comments on a video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To delete all the comments on a YouTube video, follow these simple steps. First, open the video you want to delete. Next, click on the three-dot menu, and then choose Remove. A small confirmation window appears stating that the comment has been removed. Once done, you&#8217;ll no longer see any comments on the video. You can then click the report button next to any comments you find that violate community guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can also click on the cross button that&#8217;s located above the video thumbnail. Clicking on the cross button will remove the comment from the video. Once you&#8217;ve done that, a prompt with the message &#8220;Comment Deleted&#8221; appears. Delete all comments on a YouTube video and you&#8217;ll be left with a clean screen. But if you&#8217;d rather not delete any comments, keep reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Turn Comments on on YouTube YouTube comments are a wonderful way to let viewers express themselves below your videos.
