Mentions let you include the name or handle of another channel in your video's title or description. When you mention another channel, they'll get a notification in their inbox – learn more.
The mention of your channel name or handle in someone else's video doesn't increase the likelihood of their video appearing to your fans.
Mention another creator
To add a mention when you're creating or editing the video title or description:
- Type the '@' symbol followed by a channel name or handle.
- Choose the channel name or handle from a recommended list.
You can mention as many creators as you want, as long as their names fit within the character limit.
Find mentions of your channel
- Sign in to YouTube Studio.
- From the left-hand menu, select Comments.

Change mention notifications
Not every mention triggers a notification. You will be notified about important ones, like when a creator with a similar number of subscribers mentions you.
