Here’s how to disable (or enable) comments and video responses:- Click the arrow next to the Upload button at the top of the page
- Select Video Manager
- Click the Edit button under the video you wish to edit
- Click Advanced Settings

Require approval for comments before they're posted
If you want to be able to review comments and videos before they’re posted, follow steps 1-4 in the instructions above. Then, under “Allows comments” and “Allow video responses”, select Approved.
When somebody leaves a comment, you’ll receive an email notification that directs you to a page where you can approve or remove the comment. Or, you can see the pending comments by following these steps:
- Click your username in the top right corner
- Click Inbox
- Click Comments on the left side of the page
Manage settings for all videos: If you upload a lot of videos, change your "Upload defaults" to disable all comments/video responses or require approval for them.
