Use this interactive demo to learn how to add channel tags to your YouTube Shorts.

Quick summary

Adding tags to YouTube Shorts in YouTube Studio helps boost discoverability by linking your content to relevant channels. This step-by-step process takes under a minute using the Content tab and the @ mention tagging feature.


Steps

  1. Go to studio.youtube.com, then click Content in the left sidebar.
  2. Click Shorts from the filter tabs at the top of the content table.
  3. Click the title or thumbnail of the Short you want to edit.
  4. Type @ and the channel name (e.g., @NEPSCorp), then select it from the suggestions.
  5. The name will appear as a tag (chip). Click Save to apply.

📌 Why this matters

Tagging channels in YouTube Shorts using the @ mention feature is a powerful way to increase content visibility and build collaborative reach on YouTube. When creators tag relevant channels, their Shorts surface in associated search results and recommendations, driving more organic views. YouTube Studio makes it easy to add these tags directly from the Content dashboard without re-uploading or editing the video file. For creators and brands looking to grow their audience through cross-promotion, mastering YouTube Shorts tagging is an essential content strategy skill.
