    Questions.

    What is the character limit for YouTube tags?

    500 characters for all of a video’s tags together. Each comma between tags counts, and a tag with a space in it counts 2 more, for the quotes YouTube puts around it: Foo-Baz is 7, Foo Baz is 9.

    How many tags can a YouTube video have?

    As many as fit in 500 characters. That is about 30 to 40 short tags, or fewer long ones.

    Do YouTube tags help?

    A little. YouTube’s own help says tags play a minimal role in a video’s discovery, and that the title, thumbnail and description matter more. Tags help most when people often misspell what your video is about.

    Where do I add tags on YouTube?

    In YouTube Studio, open the video’s Details, choose Show more, and paste the copied tags into Tags. You can also edit tags in the YouTube app.

    Are my tags uploaded?

    No. They are counted in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere or stored, and the page sets no cookies.

    Checked on : the YouTube Data API’s videos reference (tags) and YouTube Help, Add tags to your YouTube videos. The count is the one Flaghand runs on a YouTube draft before it is approved.
