What are the character limits for YouTube titles and descriptions?
YouTube titles can be up to 100 characters and descriptions up to 5,000. Channel descriptions are capped at 1,000 characters. Live stream titles share the 100-character cap. The counter clearly shows each limit so you can craft titles that fit fully in search results without truncation.
How long should a YouTube title be for click-through?
Aim for 60 to 70 characters. YouTube truncates titles after roughly 70 characters in search results and around 50 in the suggested-videos sidebar. Front-load the most curiosity-driving phrase and place keywords near the start. Avoid all-caps; YouTube's ranking systems and viewers both treat clickbait shouting poorly.
How much of a description shows above the fold?
YouTube shows roughly the first 100 to 150 characters of the description before the "show more" link. Use those visible characters for a strong hook, your primary keyword, and a CTA (subscribe, link, or related video). Move timestamps, links, credits, and disclaimers below the fold.
Should I include keywords in the description?
Yes. Descriptions are an important YouTube ranking signal alongside titles, tags, and engagement. Include 2 to 3 keyword variants naturally in the first 200 characters, then add supporting context. Avoid keyword stuffing; YouTube penalizes spammy descriptions and rewards clear, helpful copy.
Do hashtags work in YouTube descriptions?
Yes. Hashtags placed in the description appear as clickable links above the video title. YouTube uses up to the first three hashtags in this prominent position and ignores additional ones for display. Use 2 or 3 specific, relevant hashtags; avoid stuffing 15 generic tags that get ignored anyway.
Should I add timestamps in long video descriptions?
Yes. Timestamps in the description (with the first one at 0:00) automatically generate the chapter markers viewers see in the seek bar. Chapters dramatically improve retention, accessibility, and search relevance for long-form content. The counter helps you fit chapters plus a meaningful description under 5,000 characters.
