How to Pin a Comment on YouTube

Use this interactive demo to learn how to pin a comment to the top of your YouTube video.

Quick summary

Pinning a comment on YouTube lets creators highlight a specific viewer response at the top of the comments section. This feature is ideal for creators who want to surface important announcements, FAQs, or community shoutouts directly below their video.


Steps

  1. Go to youtube.com and open the video you want to manage comments on.
  2. Scroll down to the comments section and find the comment you want to pin.
  3. Hover over the comment and click the three-dot menu icon, then select Pin from the dropdown menu.
  4. In the confirmation dialog, click Pin to confirm — the comment will move to the top and display a Pinned label.
  5. To unpin, hover over the pinned comment, click the three-dot menu, and select Unpin.

📌 Why this matters

Pinning a comment on YouTube gives creators direct control over what viewers see first below their video, making it a powerful tool for community engagement. By surfacing a pinned comment, creators can highlight calls to action, important links, or top fan responses without editing the video itself. This feature is especially valuable for growing channels that want to guide viewer behavior and boost interaction rates. YouTube's pin comment feature is a zero-cost engagement tactic available to any channel owner or manager.
