Then you need to know how to disable background refresh and search for your comments. Once you&#8217;ve found them, you can edit and share them. In this article, you&#8217;ll learn how to do all of that. But first, let&#8217;s go over the history of comments. Marco Casse left the first comment on YouTube on June 14, 2005. His comment read, &#8220;LOL!!!&#8221; on zubazpants&#8217; &#8220;Good Times!!!&#8221; video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disable_background_refresh\"><\/span>Disable background refresh<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can&#8217;t see YouTube comments if your video has the background refresh option enabled. This setting enables apps to check for new content and updates automatically. However, YouTube may be experiencing problems fetching new notifications when you&#8217;ve disabled background refresh. To make sure that the background refresh is disabled, go to Settings&gt;General&gt;Software Update. Tap on the relevant app and enable the background refresh toggle. Try to reopen the video and see if you can see the comments now. If the problem persists, try contacting the developer.<\/p>\n<p>You may also want to disable background refresh. While it&#8217;s tempting to turn off background refresh altogether, it consumes more battery power and constantly scans new content and apps in the background. Disabling background refresh to see comments on YouTube is the most effective temporary solution, but it isn&#8217;t the only option. In some cases, ad blockers may also be a contributing factor to the problem. If you&#8217;re using an ad blocker, you can turn it off or use incognito mode in order to see the comments.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Search_for_comments\"><\/span>Search for comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several ways to search for YouTube comments. While the built-in browser search function can be helpful for searching the comments left on a video, it will not find comments from previous videos. The number of comments on a video is huge, so you may have to scroll endlessly to find what you&#8217;re looking for. Luckily, there&#8217;s an easy solution. Install the Chrome extension YCS to search comments from YouTube. Once installed, you&#8217;ll see a search box below a video.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have installed the extension, go to the YouTube video that you&#8217;d like to search for comments. Then, click the three dots in the top-right corner of the page. From here, you can type your keyword into the gray bar. Once you&#8217;ve selected a keyword, you&#8217;ll see a list of comments that contain that keyword. Using the right extension can speed up your search. This way, you can get a summary of all the comments on a particular video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Edit_comments\"><\/span>Edit comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;ve made a mistake and accidentally deleted an important comment, or you simply want to make sure you&#8217;ve only posted a positive comment, you can easily edit or delete your comments on YouTube. YouTube allows users to delete or edit their comments for a variety of reasons, including to share them with others. It is recommended to review comments regularly, however, since opinions don&#8217;t always stand the test of time. Weeks later, your comments might seem disrespectful.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to moderate your comments, you can disable them. This option will turn comments off for videos that are designed for children. However, it is important to note that if you&#8217;re concerned about children&#8217;s safety, you can turn off the comments feature for children&#8217;s videos. Once you&#8217;ve disabled comments for children, you&#8217;ll be able to edit them when they&#8217;re appropriate for your child. To do this, hover your mouse over the top right corner of the comment and click the pencil icon.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Share_comments\"><\/span>Share comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to make mistakes in the comment section of YouTube videos. However, you can edit the comments you&#8217;ve already submitted by hovering over the top right corner of the comment and selecting &#8220;Edit.&#8221; In the popup window that appears, tap on the pencil icon to go back and make any necessary changes. When finished, click &#8220;Submit&#8221; to publish your comment. This will be visible to others who read it. You can also edit your comments while viewing videos in another language.<\/p>\n<p>While you may be tempted to share links in YouTube comments, do so sparingly and with context. Providing value to viewers is essential when posting links, so make sure you choose relevant ones. Cloaking links can be a bad practice as they can be perceived as spam behavior and could result in YouTube filtering your comments. Ultimately, this can make your comments appear flat and unappealing. This is especially true if you have thousands of comments on a video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Report_suspicious_comments\"><\/span>Report suspicious comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can report suspicious comments on YouTube to let YouTube know about them. YouTube is a global platform with specific legal frameworks for different countries. By reporting comments, you can make sure that YouTube will only reward people who have created quality content. By reporting suspicious content, you can help YouTube keep their site safe for everyone. Whether it&#8217;s a video or a comment, it&#8217;s important to be aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious content immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Spam is anything that distracts other people&#8217;s viewing experience. This includes tricks, invitations, porn, scams, and unprotected accounts. It also includes comments that are repetitive and unimportant. If you see these types of comments on your feed, you can report them by clicking the &#8216;Report Suspicious Comments&#8217; link in the bottom of the comment. It&#8217;s easy to report a spammer, as YouTube will look up the account of the person who posted the comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to See Comments on YouTube Do you want to know how to see comments on YouTube?
