Google+ Comments On Youtube: The Good, The Bad, As Well As The Ugly

Update: consumer Google+ is shutting downwards Apr 2, 2019. This volition non acquit on your YouTube channel or comments

Update: YouTube comments were separated from Google+ starting inwards August 2015. 

Today YouTube introduced Google+ comments for video scout pages. First introduced for YouTube channel discussions inwards September, the Google+ commenting arrangement should allow channel owners greater command over the comments that seem on their videos.

On the downside y'all are at nowadays required to link your YouTube channel to a Google+ Profile or Page to brand a comment as well as Google+ notifications aren't actually a substitute for your YouTube Inbox. And fifty-fifty for Google+ enthusiasts, the novel commenting arrangement volition accept around getting used to.

Here's a brief overview of my start impressions around of the features as well as drawbacks of the Google+ commenting system:

The Good: improve moderation options, longer formatted comments, communications managers as well as more

Better Moderation Options

I think 1 of the best features of Google+ comments is the mightiness to easily block posters as well as forbid comments that comprise specific words or phrases.

To manage who tin comment on your channel as well as videos, opened upward the comment settings for your channel (www.youtube.com/comment_management).  There y'all tin approve or ban specific users, or block comments containing specific keywords.


You tin even as well as then require moderation of comments earlier they are posted, as well as plow off comments for private videos, either inwards your comment settings (www.youtube.com/comment_management), inwards the settings for your video or inwards your default upload settings (www.youtube.com/upload_defaults).



You tin require approving for all channel comments also yesteryear selecting that pick inwards your channel navigation settings.

The Google+ spam filters are also pretty proficient at detecting potential spam comments. When a comment is flagged yesteryear the arrangement every bit spam, y'all tin review it to produce upward one's withdraw heed whether to permit it seem on your video or not.



And y'all tin mark comments every bit spam as well as study abuse directly as well as ban commenters from your channel by clicking the petty downwards arrow to the correct of a comment:



Longer Comments, Basic Text Formatting, Links, as well as Editing

If y'all are wordy similar me, the 500 graphic symbol bound for YouTube comments could live seriously constraining.  With Google+ comments, in that place is no bound to the length of your comment. Longer comments volition entirely display the start few sentences amongst a "Read more" link, as well as then they won't accept over your comment page.

Google+ also allows around basic text formatting, although in that place aren't whatever fancy text editing tools, as well as then y'all receive got to recollect the formatting code:

Asterisks to bold text:                 *bold* volition display every bit bold
Underscores to italicize text:       _italics_ volition display every bit italics
Hyphens to strikethrough text:    -strikethrough- display every bit strikethrough

And at nowadays y'all tin also include a link inwards your comment to around other video or a website. Links to YouTube videos volition live converted into the championship text.

And if y'all made a typo or thought of something novel to say, y'all tin edit your comment subsequently it's posted. Just click the petty downwards arrow to the correct of your post.



Shares of your video on Google+ volition seem inwards your comments, as well as your comments volition seem on Google+

When somebody shares your video on Google+, their post (and whatever replies) volition seem on your video scout page every bit a comment. That way that y'all tin run across what people are maxim almost your video fifty-fifty if they don't post a comment on your channel directly.

Also, when y'all post a novel comment y'all receive got the pick to part the comment on Google+ every bit well. If your comment is deleted from the video scout page, it volition even as well as then live readable on Google+.


If y'all don't desire your comment to live shared to Google+, live certain to untick the "Also part on Google+" option, which is currently on yesteryear default.

Communication managers for Google+ Page-linked YouTube channels

If your YouTube channel is linked to a Google+ Page, y'all tin add a user every bit a "Communications Manager" for both your Google+ page as well as YouTube channel.

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 communications managing director tin post as well as grapple comments, review notifications, as well as organize your Google+ circles of followers. They can't alter whatever settings, upload or delete videos or stance your channel's analytics.

The Bad: Limitations to Google+ Comments

Google+ is at nowadays mandatory to comment

The biggest limitation to Google+ comments is that y'all as well as your commenters demand to sign upward for Google+ to role them.  While y'all tin choke on to role your YouTube channel identity on Google+ (no "real name" required!), as well as y'all volition entirely rarely demand to see or role Google+ directly, it even as well as then way y'all volition receive got to produce a Google+ profile or page to choke on commenting on YouTube. All your fans as well as friends volition receive got to sign upward for Google+ every bit good to choke on commenting on your channel.

And beyond the Google+ requirement, comments made using the one-time YouTube arrangement are at nowadays effectively orphaned, because in that place isn't whatever way to reply to them directly. As fourth dimension passes that volition live less of a problem, precisely correct at nowadays it tin live pretty frustrating to live unable to respond to comments made less than a twenty-four hours ago.

Your comments are no longer inwards your YouTube Inbox

And fifty-fifty if y'all are keen on the thought of Google+ comments, it tin accept around getting used to a novel as well as unlike arrangement which isn't ever intuitive to use.  For illustration y'all will no longer run across notifications of novel comments inwards your Inbox, precisely instead volition receive got to expose them inwards your Google+ notifications.

When a comment is left on 1 of your videos, instead of getting a notification inwards your hard-to-find YouTube Inbox, you'll acquire a Google+ notification right at the top of your hide when y'all are viewing your YouTube channel.



Notifications of the latest comments on your YouTube videos volition live marked amongst a small-scale YouTube icon to distinguish them from your other Google+ notifications (and admittedly this isn't probable to live an improvement if your channel as well as it's linked Google+ Profile or Page gets a lot of notifications). You should also live sent an electronic mail notification from Google+.

Unfortunately Google+ notifications don't produce a prissy archive of comments as well as replies, as well as that characteristic of the YouTube Inbox volition likely live missed.

The spiffy novel comment features tin live used for evil

But beyond that, many of the peachy novel commenting features - posting links, the mightiness to edit posted comments, increased visibility of shared links to your videos - tin live used every bit tools yesteryear spammers, haters as well as harassers. I am hoping that improved blocking, moderation, as well as spam detection volition improve the overall character of YouTube comments, precisely entirely fourth dimension volition tell if that's the case.

The Ugly: linking your YouTube channel to Google+ as well as the novel comments tin live confusing, complicated, as well as occasionally buggy

It's clear from the frequent posts as well as questions from confused users that linking your YouTube channel to Google+ tin live a confusing as well as complicated process. And beyond that, sometimes it doesn't run the way it's supposed to. That's why I started this blog!

Google+ comments themselves add together an additional layer of complication, as well as even as well as then receive got around kinks that demand to live worked out.

If y'all are having problem amongst the novel commenting arrangement or Google+, in that place is help!

Post your enquiry inwards the YouTube assist forum. Hopefully somebody in that place tin assist your channel live straightened out.

And hither are around useful Google+ resources to acquire y'all started learning almost how to role Google+ itself:

YouTube is has introduced novel comment search filters in YouTube Studio.

For example, if you lot search your comments for "subs", the results volition non exclusively include comments alongside the give-and-take "subs", but likewise the words "subscriber" in addition to "subscribers".

I intend the novel filters are quite useful, peculiarly for channels that larn a lot of comments.

But I likewise hold off that the minimum subscriber count filter volition larn but about criticism. It feels similar it encourages elitism, giving channels alongside to a greater extent than subscribers special attention. Of course, inwards practical terms, it's likely politic to brand certain to a greater extent than pop creators create larn a response if they enquire you lot a enquiry inwards your comments. It's non then much that channels alongside to a greater extent than subscribers deserve attention, it to a greater extent than that it tin live on useful to brand connections alongside channels that convey a broad audience.
Fortunately I've responded to all the comments from channels alongside to a greater extent than than 10 1000000 subscribers.

The "Comments I haven't responded to" filter volition live on added past times default.

To purpose the novel filters:

  2. Open YouTube Studio (studio.youtube.com)
  3. Click Comments on the left menu
  4. Click the infinite side past times side to the Filter icon (where it says Filter)
  5. Select a filter
