How to Turn on the Comments on YouTube Studio

Use this interactive demo to learn how to enable comments on your YouTube channel through Studio settings.

Quick summary

Enabling comments on YouTube Studio lets viewers engage with your public videos by navigating to Community Moderation settings and switching the comments default to On. This process takes under a minute and applies the comment setting across your entire channel.


Steps

  1. Head over to the left-side panel and click Settings.
  2. Choose Community Moderation from the list of options.
  3. Click the Defaults tab.
  4. Tap the Comments menu under Comments on Your Channel.
  5. Pick On from the choices.
  6. Click Save to apply the changes.
  7. Your comments are now enabled — viewers can add comments to your public videos.

📌 Why this matters

Enabling comments on YouTube Studio is essential for creators who want to build an engaged audience and foster community around their content. By default, comment settings may be turned off or restricted, causing creators to unknowingly miss out on viewer interaction and feedback on their public videos. YouTube Studio's Community Moderation settings give channel owners full control over comment defaults, making it easy to open up conversations at scale. Turning comments on is a foundational step for growing a YouTube channel and improving viewer engagement metrics.
