How it works

  1. 01

    Describe the video

    The topic and the niche. Hashtags work on category, not on specifics.

  2. 02

    Choose the reach

    Niche hashtags have fewer videos competing, which matters when your channel is small.

  3. 03

    Use the first three deliberately

    They are the only ones displayed. Treat the rest as secondary metadata.

What people use it for

Shorts

Hashtags carry more weight on short-form, where category signals do more of the sorting.

Joining an event or trend

A hashtag is how a video attaches itself to something happening across the platform.

Series and recurring formats

A consistent hashtag groups your own series into a browsable page.

Frequently asked questions

How many hashtags should I use on YouTube?+

Three, effectively. Only the first three in your description appear above the title, and that is where any real visibility comes from. YouTube allows up to 15; adding more than that makes it ignore all of them and can be treated as spam.

Where do I put hashtags?+

In the description — the first three then show above the title. Hashtags in the title itself work too but consume characters from the most valuable text you have.

Do hashtags actually increase views?+

Modestly, and mostly by making a video findable on the hashtag page and grouping it with related content. A hashtag will not rescue a video that nobody clicks.

Should I use popular or niche hashtags?+

Niche ones, if your channel is small. A hashtag page with two million videos will never surface yours; one with a few thousand might.

What is the difference between hashtags and tags?+

Hashtags are public, clickable and appear on the video page. Tags are private metadata nobody sees. Hashtags are worth choosing carefully; tags are worth two minutes.

Can hashtags get a video removed?+

Unrelated hashtags used to reach an audience the video is not for fall under misleading metadata, which is a spam policy violation. Fifteen relevant hashtags are fine; fifteen trending ones stapled to an unrelated video are not.
