Locating and Changing YouTube Video Descriptions
Let’s start by understanding where you can locate the descriptions of your YouTube videos. After uploading a video, if you didn’t add a description, this section would appear empty. To view the description of a YouTube video, navigate to the video and scroll down until you see a gray area below the video player. This is where the descriptions live.
If you’ve added a description, you’ll see a brief preview of it along with an option to “Show More” or “Show Less”. Clicking on “Show More” will reveal the full description.
Now, what if you’ve made a mistake or need to update the description? If you own the channel, editing the description is simple:
- Navigate to the video whose description you want to change.
- Click on the “Edit Video” button. This will open up the video in YouTube Studio.
- In YouTube Studio, look for the “Description” field. This is where you can edit your video description.
Writing Effective YouTube Descriptions
YouTube provides some useful SEO tips for writing descriptions. For one, including keywords in your descriptions can help viewers find your videos more easily through search. It’s also beneficial to give an overview of your video and place keywords at the beginning of the description.
To edit the description, simply click on the “Description” field and start typing or editing. For instance, if you want to change the description to “Tips from Biz Crown Media”, simply type that in and delete any unwanted text.
You can also change the video title from this page. Just click on the “Title” field and type in your new title.
Once you’ve made your changes, remember to click the “Save” button on the top right. If you don’t save, your changes won’t be reflected.
