View, organise or delete comments

To view comments on a video, scroll on the video's page. Replies are threaded to make it easy to follow conversations. YouTube comments are public and anyone can reply to a comment that you post.

If you can't find a comment after you get a notification, it's possible that the comment has already been removed. Comments can be removed by the original poster, the channel owner or for policy violations.

While reading comments, you may see certain keywords in blue text on mobile devices. You can click these keywords, called 'search shortcuts', to search for that term on YouTube. Learn more about search shortcuts.

You can view public comments that you've left across YouTube.

1. Go to Comment history.

You can click or tap a comment's timestamp to create a highlighted comment link. This action will give you a shareable link in the address bar for that specific comment and its thread.

On the web, you can change how comments are shown under a video. Use the Sort by option to choose Top comments or Newest first.
