How to Add Hashtags on YouTube

You can add hashtags on YouTube above your own video titles. You can do this for existing YouTube videos as well as YouTube videos as you upload them.

Using a hashtag in a video is another way to show up in a search. When someone clicks the hashtag, it will search other videos with that hashtag.

You can add up to 15 hashtags, but I usually only add two or three.

To add hashtags, you can simply add them after your video title or in the description box of your video.

Thanks for this tutorial. I'll add # soon. I subscribed to your channel.

well that was easy! Thanks. I'm shocked at how some of the hashtags I added got a "nothing to see here" when I tried clicking on them....if there was nothing else out there I'd assume my video to be the only one to show up.

I have always wondered if they even work at all cause ive been adding them and dont get many views but have seen other post videos with no hashtags and they gets tons of views.

Hi thanks this video. I have a situation where I have a you tube video but people are taking clips from my video and using it for themselves. Is there any setting I should select before posting so I can see if people are copying my videos?

Why can't I add hashtags in title from description like you? I directly write them in title?

[BuckeyetheCat]

Is it a good idea to also add hashtags to the end of the title itself? Thanks!
