YouTube Enhances Comment Moderation Tools for Creators
YouTube is taking steps to improve the comment moderation experience for its creators. The popular video-sharing platform is introducing a new “Pause” option, as part of its comment moderation tools, which aims to give creators more control over their comment sections.
The Pause option allows creators to temporarily prevent the creation of new comments at the video level while still preserving existing comments. This new feature offers creators greater flexibility in managing their comments. Instead of completely disabling comments when they become overwhelming, creators can now simply take a break from managing comments by utilizing the Pause option.
This handy feature is available in the video-level comment settings on both the YouTube app watch page and YouTube Studio on desktop and mobile platforms. It provides a convenient way for creators to manage their comments more effectively and maintain a healthy and engaging dialogue with their viewers.
In addition to introducing the Pause option, YouTube is also making some changes to the comment moderation settings. The existing functionality, however, will remain the same. Creators will still have the option to choose from the comment moderation settings, which include None, Basic, Strict, and Hold All.
The introduction of the Pause option follows YouTube’s testing phase, during which creators and moderators found the feature highly valuable for managing their comments. This addition highlights YouTube’s commitment to continuously improving its platform and providing creators with more control over their comment sections.
