3 sets
Enter a topic to get three ready-made YouTube hashtag sets: broad reach, niche relevance, and long tail. Use them in your video description or Short, keeping the strongest ones first.
How to use hashtags
The three sets
YouTube can show up to three hashtags from the description above the title, so put your most relevant ones first.
A few relevant hashtags are clearer than a long list. YouTube ignores all hashtags on a video that uses more than 60.
Hashtags should describe the video. Misleading or unrelated hashtags can lead YouTube to remove the video from search.
CamelCase such as #StreetPhotography is easier to read than #streetphotography and works the same way.
Common questions
Where hashtags go, how many to use, and what they do.
Three to five relevant hashtags is a common approach. YouTube can display up to three above the title, and it ignores every hashtag on a video that includes more than 60.
Add them to the video description. YouTube may show the first few above the title. You can also use them in the title, but they then replace the description hashtags shown above it.
They can help YouTube understand the topic and group your Short with similar content, but they are a small signal compared with the video itself and how viewers respond to it.
Hashtags are visible to viewers and clickable. Tags are hidden metadata entered in YouTube Studio. Use the YouTube Tag Generator for tags.
