Frequently asked questions
How long should a YouTube title be?
YouTube allows 100 characters, but titles around 50-70 characters tend to survive truncation better in search, browse and mobile views.
What should go at the start of a YouTube description?
Put the main value proposition, keywords and important link in the first 1-2 lines because that is what viewers see before expanding.
Do chapters help?
Chapters improve scanability and can help viewers jump to useful sections. The template includes starter timestamps you can edit.
