How YouTube uses hashtags
Hashtags in a description become links to a page of videos with the same hashtag, and the first three show above the title on the watch page. Each one here is built from a phrase YouTube's search box suggests for your topic, so it matches what people look for.
YouTube ignores all the hashtags on a video that has more than 60, and its policies don't allow hashtags that are misleading or unrelated to the video. Three to five accurate hashtags are plenty.
Frequently asked questions
How many hashtags should I use on YouTube?
Three to five relevant ones. Only the first three show above the title, and YouTube ignores every hashtag on a video that has more than 60.
Should hashtags go in the title or the description?
Either works. Hashtags in the title appear as links in the title itself. Hashtags in the description keep the title clean, and the first three show above it.
What's the difference between tags and hashtags?
Tags are hidden keywords added in YouTube Studio. Hashtags are visible, clickable words in the title or description. The tag generator makes tags.
Can hashtags have spaces?
No. A hashtag ends at the first space, so phrases are joined into one word, like #easypastarecipe.
