A comment pinned on YouTube appears at the top of the comments section. It is usually the first thing a viewer will read as soon as he lands in the comments section of your YouTube video. As a content creator, you can either pin a comment you want or you can pin your viewer&#8217;s comment. But how do you pin a comment on your YouTube videos? More importantly, what exactly is a pinned YouTube comment? This guide will explain all that you must know about pinning comments on your YT videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Pinned_Comments_Still_Matter\"><\/span>Why Pinned Comments Still Matter?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Engagement on YouTube is more than just a superficial value. When viewers respond to your pinned comment, like it, or engage in a discussion that began there, YouTube recognizes this activity as a sign of a lively and healthy community. This activity can make all the difference when the algorithm determines which videos to show you next.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_this_is_important\"><\/span>Why this is important:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Responses and likes on pinned comments are recognized as an active community.<\/li>\n<li>Pinned CTAs, such as \u201csubscribe for part 2,\u201d can boost conversion rates.<br \/>\nRetention &amp; watch time. Timestamp links or \u201cmini-challenges\u201d boost re-watch and average view time.<\/li>\n<li>Pinned, clarified, or positive comments set the tone for new audiences and move spam comments down. This is recommended for creators and especially new YouTubers.<\/li>\n<li>Pinned comments are also useful in that they can point to clarifications, move spam comments down, or set the tone for how new audiences will interpret your content. The use of pinned comments is recommended by YouTube itself in its guidelines for creators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steps_to_Pin_a_Comment_on_YouTube_Video\"><\/span>Steps to Pin a Comment on YouTube Video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A pinned YouTube comment can help reveal crucial information to your viewers when they visit the comments section.

You might benefit from writing one comment to answer that common question and pinning it at the top of your comment section.<\/p>\n<p>So here are the steps on how to pin comments on YouTube:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37258\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/how-to-pin-comments-on-youtube.png\" alt=\"How to pin comments on YouTube\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/how-to-pin-comments-on-youtube.png 1920w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/how-to-pin-comments-on-youtube-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/how-to-pin-comments-on-youtube-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/how-to-pin-comments-on-youtube-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/how-to-pin-comments-on-youtube-1536x864.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Open YouTube<\/strong> and <strong>go to a video<\/strong> you have posted.<\/li>\n<li>Go to its <strong>Comment section<\/strong> and either <strong>write a comment<\/strong> to pin or select from an already existing comment.<\/li>\n<li>Tap on the <strong>three dots<\/strong> to open the menu and <strong>select Pin.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose Pin<\/strong> again to confirm the comment you want to pin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Now no matter how many comments you get on your video and how many likes a comment gets, your pinned comment will always be on top.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steps_to_Pin_a_Comment_On_YouTube_video_using_Desktop\"><\/span>Steps to Pin a Comment On YouTube video using Desktop<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Pinned comments can serve multiple purposes, like adding links or updating the viewers with the latest news in your content. Pinning a comment on YouTube on a desktop is very similar to the steps involved in an IOS or Android device. Follow these steps to pin a comment on your YouTube videos using a PC.<\/p>\n<p>1. Go to YouTube.com and log in with your credentials.<\/p>\n<p>2. Locate the video for which you want to pin comments and go to its comment section.<\/p>\n<p>3. Look for the comment you want to pin.

Let&#8217;s look at the common benefits of YouTube pinned comments.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Encourages_Audience_Participation\"><\/span>Encourages Audience Participation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Pinning a comment on some of your best YouTube videos shows your commitment towards your viewers and encourages them to actively participate in the discussion.<\/p>\n<p>For example, let&#8217;s say you pin a comment such as, &#8216;Your voice matters. Please tell us how would you implement the ideas discussed in this video.&#8217; It gives a sense to your viewers that their opinions also matter.<\/p>\n<p>It might get featured, leading to a healthy discussion. Besides, it can also pave the way for you to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/youtube\/yt-comments\/\">get YouTube comments<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Acknowledges_Audience_Involvement\"><\/span>Acknowledges Audience Involvement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Maybe you have received a really great comment on one of your YouTube videos. Adding it as a pinned YouTube comment gives a motivational boost to the viewer who added it.<\/p>\n<p>It appreciates their effort and makes them feel valued. Additionally, it also creates a snowball effect and inspires others to participate in the potential discussion.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conveys_Information_Clearly\"><\/span>Conveys Information Clearly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you want to reveal some crucial information to your viewers, a YouTube pinned comment is the best way to convey them. It saves your viewers time and ensures they understand your YouTube video content in the smoothest manner possible.<\/p>\n<p>For example, maybe there&#8217;s some part of the information in the YT video that has been updated. To convey this fact to your viewers, pin a comment on your YouTube video highlighting the new information. This approach shows your commitment to absolutely clear communication with your viewers and potential subscribers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ideal_Place_for_Freebies\"><\/span>Ideal Place for Freebies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Want to push out an ebook for your viewers? Pinning comments on YouTube is an ideal way to sell free gifts, ebooks, coupon codes, etc. It serves as a healthy reminder for everyone who scrolls down and reads the comments. You can also add website links that complement your video&#8217;s content.<\/p>\n<p>While many of these can be done on the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/youtube\/how-to-put-links-in-youtube-description\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube video&#8217;s description<\/a>, not all viewers read the description. But reading the comments has become a very common practice among the viewers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_fails_are_generic\"><\/span>Common fails are generic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The generic comment type, such as &#8220;what do you think?&#8221; or &#8220;do share your opinion,&#8221; is way too generic and old. Seems like, as a creator, you are doing it just for the sake of it.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the CTA, such as &#8220;subscribe now&#8221; or &#8220;follow for more,&#8221; doesn&#8217;t trigger anything. Here is a YouTube copyright example. When they suggest a premium option, they provide two choices: &#8220;Get premium&#8221; or &#8220;Keep Ads&#8221;. So, it&#8217;s a direct emotion, whether you are upgrading yourself or wishfully clicking on ads.<\/p>\n<p>The same can also be used in comments. Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;ve used Ask Studio AI to know what people are talking about in comments. Use those sentences, quotes, context, or dialogue to pin a comment. For example, &#8220;<em>Is Apple Mini orange colour Cringe?<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Popular_Styles_of_Pinned_Comments_on_YouTube\"><\/span>Popular Styles of Pinned Comments on YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A few types of YouTube pinned comments that you can add to your YT videos include.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Create Curiosity:<\/strong> A pinned comment that hints at some part of your video.
