YouTube Creators Rejoice: Comment Pausing is Now a Reality!
Good news, content creators! YouTube has finally rolled out a much-anticipated feature to all creators: the ability to pause comments on individual videos.
You can temporarily prevent viewers from adding new comments while keeping existing words visible.
The new setting, aptly named Pause, offers creators more significant control over their online interactions and provides several benefits:
- Mitigate negativity: Quickly address situations where comments become toxic or overwhelming.
- Promote thoughtful discussion: Allow viewers to reflect and formulate more constructive comments.
- Manage expectations: Control the flow of comments, especially for sensitive or controversial topics.
- Take a break: Step away from the negativity and focus on other aspects of your YouTube channel.
The Pause feature works at the video level, giving you granular control over how comments are handled. This is especially useful for creators with diverse content and varying audience responses.

Here’s how to access the new Pause feature:
- Go to YouTube Studio.
- Select the video you want to manage comments for.
- Click on the “Comments” tab.
- Look for the “Hold new comments” option and click “Pause.”
Once paused, no new comments will be allowed, but existing comments will remain visible. You can quickly resume new comments whenever you’re ready.
This new feature is a significant step forward for YouTube creators, providing them with greater control over their online communities and fostering a more positive and productive environment for engagement.
So, go ahead and experiment with the Pause feature and see how it can enhance your YouTube experience!
