How To Tag YouTube Videos (Easy Tutorial)

In this YouTube tutorial, I will show you how to tag YouTube videos. Learn the exact steps to add tags when you upload a new video and how to edit tags on videos you’ve already published. Tags help YouTube understand your content and can improve discoverability when used correctly.

Step-by-step process:
1. Open YouTube → tap your profile → YouTube Studio.
2. To add tags while uploading: Upload videos → select your file → on the upload pages scroll to Show more → find the Tags field and type tags separated by commas (e.g., Canva, tutorial).
3. Tag limit: You can add up to 500 characters of tags — use relevant, targeted tags rather than random, unrelated ones to your video.
4. To add or change tags on an existing video: Go to YouTube Studio → Content → choose the video → Details → Show more → Then edit Tags → Select Save.
5. Finish by saving/publishing — your tags are applied immediately.

Tips & best practices
• Use a mix of broad and specific tags (topic + niche).
