As you may have figured out already, there is currently no way to edit metadata directly in YouTube Music.
In my opinion this is a huge oversight and makes uploads feel like second-class citizen on the platform. I am pushing for this and I hope this is something we will see in the not so distant future.
For now, you need to either edit the metadata in an online tool, iTunes/another music player or on your local machine.
Sorry that this wasn't a satisfactory answer and I totally get how you feel coming from Google Play Music where this feature was available.
To make sure the team knows that this is a feature that you really want, please make sure you submit feedback regarding this. You can do this using both the app and web player by tapping your profile icon and then "feedback". Thanks!

Totally agree. Some of my uploaded tracks transferred from Google Play Music have lost their artwork during the transfer (no idea why - it was there in Google Play Music) and there's no way to edit it.

When Google Play Music is retired, I will have to cancel my subscription if editing metadata of songs in my library isn't possible in YouTube Music by then. That function is literally the main reason why I'm using Google Play Music rather than Spotify.

Totally agree, i am managin my own library, forced to be moved to yt music and not having the zame features is just irritating, i thought that it would have more features, but i am finding that it has less and the environments are not as friendly as gpm. Hope you can work on this

Same for me, I used to edit metadata on almost all of my uploads, just found today (after migrating) that its no longer possible in YouTube Music, this is a 'Must have' function.
If Google can include a 'Stats for Nerds' feature for niche users, surely ability to edit own content has far broader appeal and should have been given the development priority.

Just wanted to add my voice to this - I use GPM to manage an extensive library of uploads. YT Music is less friendly, harder to navigate and has less features. Editing Metadata is essential

After trying out Spotify, deezer and GPM, I went for GPM for these two main features : importing my own music AND editing the METADATA. It was a ground breaking feature for me, still is. Being forced to jump to YT music for the same price and not having this last feature is upsetting.
YTM just finished to import my music from GPM : there are a lot of missing artworks in the transfer, and no way to adjust that ! How irritating.

GPM was so much better, like being able to play music with out having to have your display on having a paid subscription, being able to edit metadata, being able to quickly scroll though your uploaded collection, being able to search just your uploaded collection.
Having something like a radio station configuration would also be nice instead of play list.
I have multiple albums that I uploaded to GPM and they worked great, but when going to YTM it broke the albums up and indicated special characters in the albums names on some of them. One example I have is an album that a 7 of 14 it is indicating there is a special characters instead of a dash in the album name so it moved it to be by it self.
Google makes some good products, then do not support or improve upon them, and kill them off and force people to use a inferiors product. GPM, Inbox, Hangouts, ex.
