You can create posts to connect and interact with your viewers through polls, quizzes, GIFs, text, images, and video. Your audience can find your posts on your channel page either on the Posts shelf in the Home tab or in the Posts tab. Posts may also show up on their homepage, Subscriptions feed, or Shorts feed. If they’re subscribed to your channel they may get a notification when you post.
Engaging with other creators’ posts may increase the chance of your viewers seeing those posts across YouTube.
Posts aren’t available if:
- You’re using a supervised account.
- Your channel is set as “Made for Kids.”
If your channel’s audience is set as "Made for Kids," your Posts tab will only be visible to you and not your viewers. You also can't create new posts, but you can view past posts.
View your posts
You can find your posts on your channel’s Posts tab and under the Content section of YouTube Studio. To get to your posts in YouTube Studio:
- Sign in to YouTube Studio.
- From the left menu, select Content.
- Click the Posts tab.
If you have scheduled posts for a future publish date, they will be in YouTube Studio and in the “Scheduled” section of the Posts tab. You also can find your expired posts by going to the “Archived” section of the Posts tab. This section is only visible to you.
Adjust comment settings on posts
If comments are turned off on your posts, make sure that your channel’s default comment settings aren’t set to “Disable comments”. You can also turn comments on for an individual post in YouTube Studio on your computer.
YouTube may have turned off comments for safety reasons, like to protect minors or for other safety issues. Learn more about why comments are turned off.
Posts that share videos reflect the comment settings of those videos. When you share a video in a post and the video’s comments are turned off, comments will also be turned off for your post. Comments may be turned off for a video because:
- The video owner selected the setting to "Disable comments.”
- YouTube may have turned off comments on some videos for safety reasons, like to protect minors.
- The channel or video’s audience is set as "made for kids."
- You or your system administrator have turned on Restricted Mode.
- Comments on automatically generated Art Tracks are turned off.
If you're the owner of the video you’re sharing, you can choose to turn on or turn off comments on a specific video in YouTube Studio. Learn how to choose your comment settings.
