It&#8217;s a very common issue, as your subscribers will leave comments on your videos, whether they&#8217;re supportive or just funny. But not every viewer is as nice as you are, and some will post offensive comments. You may not want to deal with such a situation. Here are some ways to turn off YouTube comments.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disable_comments_on_your_own_YouTube_video\"><\/span>Disable comments on your own YouTube video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Regardless of the reason for disabling comments on your own YouTube video, there are some good reasons to do so. First of all, videos that have a controversial topic tend to attract abusive comments. Disabling comments will help prevent such problems by limiting the number of people who can comment. Secondly, if you want your video to get more views, you should disable comments on certain videos. You can do this by making your video private or requiring moderation before you allow comments.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on your specific case, YouTube creators may block users who leave rude or threatening comments. In these cases, the blocked user can still watch the video but won&#8217;t be able to leave a comment. This isn&#8217;t permanent, but it&#8217;s better than nothing. If you want to block a specific user from commenting, you can contact YouTube&#8217;s administrators, but this doesn&#8217;t solve the problem. Besides, you can also block users who are prone to spam. This can happen if they repeat the same comment many times, leave links to external websites, or comment before watching the video.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, YouTube video managers allow you to disable comments on your own videos. To disable comments on your videos, log in to your YouTube account and click the &#8220;Edit&#8221; button below the video title. Then, click the &#8220;Advanced Settings&#8221; tab, and uncheck the &#8220;Allow comments&#8221; box. Once this is done, click the &#8220;Save Changes&#8221; button. While YouTube comments can be useful in getting the unfiltered feedback from viewers, they can also be detrimental for creating connections with your audience.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"View_your_comment_history\"><\/span>View your comment history<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever left a comment on YouTube, you&#8217;ve probably wondered how to view your comment history. If you&#8217;ve deleted your comment, or are just curious about who left it, you can access it through the History section of your YouTube account. There&#8217;s no need to delete every comment on a video; you can simply edit or delete each one. If you&#8217;re unsure about the comment&#8217;s original purpose, you can check it in the history section by using the link at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve logged in to your YouTube account, click on the three parallel lines icon in the top-left corner of the screen. Next, select &#8220;History&#8221; from the drop-down menu. You can also choose &#8220;Comments&#8221; from the bottom-right menu. The comment history will be listed chronologically. You can edit comments before deleting them if necessary. It&#8217;s also possible to delete comments you don&#8217;t want to keep on your channel.<\/p>\n<p>There are several reasons to review your comment history on YouTube. Some of them are offensive, or simply inappropriate. You can also delete, edit, or delete comments to correct your own mistakes. You can even choose to delete comments from certain videos entirely. If you&#8217;ve ever made a comment that you&#8217;re not proud of, it&#8217;s best to review it to ensure that you&#8217;ve said what you wanted to say. That way, you won&#8217;t have to worry about deleting your comment history again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Report_a_comment_or_user\"><\/span>Report a comment or user<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve noticed an inappropriate comment on YouTube, you can easily report it. To do so, click on the three dots icon to the right of the video in question. From there, you can type the reason for reporting the comment, if any. Your first report will be confirmed, but if it&#8217;s your second, you won&#8217;t get a confirmation message. You can also report other YouTube users or channel art.<\/p>\n<p>If you see inappropriate content posted by another YouTube user, it&#8217;s very simple to report it. Most channels and comments on YouTube have their own reporting process. Using this method can help YouTube remove content that violates its community guidelines. But keep in mind that YouTube does not remove videos just because you report them. If you see someone harassing you or putting others down, you can report them. It&#8217;s better to make a friend on YouTube rather than report them.<\/p>\n<p>When you report a comment or user on YouTube, you can choose the content you want to report. You can choose to report a video or user that violates YouTube&#8217;s Community Guidelines, or you can report a user for violating a channel. YouTube will take action based on the content of your report, but you should note that abuse of this feature can result in account termination. You can&#8217;t report a user on YouTube from your mobile device, so it&#8217;s best to report it from your desktop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Turn Off Comments on YouTube If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to turn off comments on YouTube, then you&#8217;re not alone.
