170 P a r t I I I Managing Your YouTube Videos

Enabling Comments—and Other User Response
Features

Viewers can leave both text comments and video responses to your videos—if you
let them. At your discretion, you can allow, disallow, or allow with prior approval
either comments or video responses for any individual video you upload. (This
means you can allow comments for one video and disallow comments for another.)

To control comments and video responses, click the down arrow next to your name
at the top of any YouTube page, then select My Videos; this displays a list of all your
videos. Then click the Edit button for the video you want to control. When the edit
page for this video appears, scroll down to the Broadcasting and Sharing Options
section, shown in Figure 15.1. We’ll skip the Privacy section, which we’ve previously
discussed, and focus on the remaining half-dozen options.
