Tag your location on videos and live streams

Tagging your location on your videos, Shorts, and live streams lets viewers find your content by that location. They can also view other content that was tagged in the same area.

You can view tagged locations on the watch page for your content. Viewers will view the tag on any of your public, unlisted, or private videos. Viewers can click location to search for public videos from the same location.
