How to change your video title, tags, viewing permissions, and more

Make basic (and more advanced) changes to your video through the "Info and Settings" page for your video. Here you can change everything from your video title to whether or not you want people to be able to comment on your video.

Using the “Info and Settings” page

Here’s how to navigate to the Info and Settings page.

  1. Sign in to your YouTube account
  2. Click on the down arrow next to “Uploads” at the top of the page, then Video Manager
  3. You'll see a list of your uploaded videos. Find the video you want to edit, then click Edit below the video title

Once you're at the Info and Settings page, you'll see three tabs, depending on your account type:

  • Basic Info: Change title, description, tags, category, privacy
  • Monetization: See Partner Help Center for more on monetizing videos
  • Advanced Settings: Change comments permissions, license, caption, video location, recording date, 3D video

Make bulk edits

Here’s how to make the same change to multiple videos at once:

  1. Go to Video Manager by clicking the down arrow next to “Uploads” at the top of the page, then Video Manager
  2. Check the boxes next to the videos you want to change the settings for
  3. At the top of the page, click the Actions button
  4. Click Advanced and choose the settings you want to change
  5. Select your changes and click Submit to confirm
