Not all videos are appropriate for comments, and some users post comments that promote their channels, pages, or services. There are several reasons to turn off comments on YouTube, but the most common reason is that users who spam the comments section. Unsavory comments can hurt your brand&#8217;s reputation, so turning off comments is a good solution to this problem.<\/p>\n<p>In order to turn off comments on YouTube videos, you need to go to your settings. To do so, go to the settings section and click on &#8220;Screen Options.&#8221; In the left hand section, find the vertical ellipsis, and then click on it. If you&#8217;re not seeing the options that you want, click the &#8220;Disable comments&#8221; link next to it. Toggling the &#8220;on&#8221; or &#8220;off&#8221; switch will disable comments on your video. To save your changes, click the &#8220;save&#8221; button in the upper right corner.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_comment_settings_in_YouTube_Studio\"><\/span>Changing comment settings in YouTube Studio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing comment settings in YouTube Studio is a simple way to control which comments you want to enable or disable. Changing the comment options for a particular video requires some basic knowledge about how YouTube works. First, sign in to your YouTube account. Next, click on your channel&#8217;s name in the top-right corner. From here, click on the Settings menu and select Advanced Settings. Then, scroll down to the comments section and select &#8220;Disable comments.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Next, you&#8217;ll see the Comments page. Here, you&#8217;ll find all the comments that have been added to your video. You can also choose whether you want them to be hidden from the public. To edit a comment, hover over the top-right corner of the comment, and click on the pencil icon. This will reveal the option to view the comments by date of addition, top-rated, and more. You can then choose which type of comment to display.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocking_abusive_comments\"><\/span>Blocking abusive comments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step in blocking abusive comments on YouTube is to find the offending user. If the user hasn&#8217;t been banned yet, you can do so in your YouTube Creator Studio. Here, you can see a list of the public comments a user has made and choose to block them. In case you don&#8217;t want to do this, you can report them manually. If you want to keep an eye on the comments people make on your video, you can use YouTube Creator Studio&#8217;s &#8220;reports&#8221; feature.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve logged in to your YouTube account, you can click on the profile picture of the offending user to view their profile. Click on the name to access the profile. Alternatively, click on the profile picture, and then click on About. In the About section of the user&#8217;s profile, look for the Gray Flag. If you don&#8217;t want to block a user, you can also unsubscribe them from your YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoiding_controversies\"><\/span>Avoiding controversies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s not uncommon for controversial topics to generate negative comments. PewDiePie, for example, disabled comments on his videos for quite some time after a scandal involving the video sharing service. It&#8217;s no surprise that YouTube also disables comments on some types of content, but video creators might want to consider disabling comments for these topics to avoid a potentially damaging ruckus.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube is making changes to protect children by disabling comments for videos containing videos with minors. Among other things, it will only let select YouTube creators keep comments enabled but will need to moderate them, including removing predatory content from their video pages. This move is a great start but it&#8217;s not a permanent solution. While disabling comments for videos with minors is certainly a great way to prevent controversies, YouTube may be too late to make any drastic changes.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping comments on your videos is important for business purposes, too. Publicizing them will invite controversies and upset existing processes. Disabling comments allows you to pitch private communities without disrupting the status quo. However, disabling comments is a bad idea if you&#8217;re trying to avoid spam and general malcontent. But it&#8217;s certainly better than leaving negative comments unanswered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Disable Comments on YouTube There are several reasons why you may want to disable comments on YouTube.
