Unique descriptions generate better search results than templates do. Default descriptions are a quick way to add contact info and basic metadata to your videos.

Timestamps are especially useful when it comes to long videos, like multi-part tutorials or music albums:.

Your video description is one of the few places YouTube lets you link out. Use it! Seventy percent of YouTube views now come from mobile.

Ensuring your descriptions are visible and compelling on all screens is a must. Preview your videos on the watch page and in search, using as many devices and browsers as possible.

Do any of your keywords get cut off? Stick to 15 hashtags or less, or YouTube will ignore them altogether. Misleading hashtags will only frustrate viewers.

If you want to limit a specific device and its access to content for an older audience, enable the filter. Toggle the switch to the On position.
