YouTube Introduces Pause Setting for Creators to Manage Comments

YouTube

YouTube has introduced a new comment setting for creators called Pause. Through video-level comment settings, creators can use the Pause option to prevent new comments on the video while retaining existing comments.

Why It Matters: Comments are vital for creators’ relationships with viewers. While they provide valuable insights, comments can also have a negative impact.

The Pause option grants creators flexibility in managing the comment experience, enabling them to take actions as needed, such as taking a break from new comments. Pause provides creators with a middle ground between completely turning off comments and having no control over them.
