How to Pin a Comment on YouTube on Windows/iPhone Easily

By pinning your own comment or a funny comment by someone else on your YouTube video, you can establish a strong connection with your audience. This article from MiniTool uTube Downloader will show you how to pin a comment on YouTube.

Pinning a comment on YouTube will make it be placed at the top of the Comments section of a video for everyone to see. This feature is similar to pinning a tweet on Twitter and pinning a post on Facebook. All of those aim to let viewers see what creators have pinned first.

However, you should keep in mind two things while pinning a comment on YouTube. First, no one but you is allowed to pin or unpin comments on your videos. Second, YouTube only allows one comment to be pinned at a time on a video.

The Pros of Pinning a Comment on YouTube

There are lots of advantages to pinning comments on YouTube. Let’s take a quick look:

Improve viewers’ engagement by asking them questions on the pinned comment. You can instantly get viewers’ feedback and adjust your video’s content.
Avoid repeatedly answering the same common question. Are you tired of responding to the same question asked by viewers over and over again? Try to write a comment to answer the common question and pin it at the top of your comments section.
Strengthen brand publicity by placing a link on the pinned comment. If you are promoting some products or services, write a comment with links and pin it to the top so that more people can see your brand.
Use the pinned comment to correct some wrong information in your video. Any clarifications or updates that need to be addressed can be seen in a prominent position.
