How to change youtube titles with inspect element

Why edit YouTube titles with Inspect Element

Sometimes we want to see a custom video title just for fun or testing.

Changing the title in your browser can help you preview edits or demo features.

This does not affect the actual video title on YouTube.

Open Chrome and go to the YouTube video page.

Right click on the video title and choose Inspect.

In the Elements panel, find the title element, usually an h1 tag.

Double click the text and type your new title.

Press Enter to apply the change.

To use the console, open DevTools with Ctrl+Shift+I.

Go to the Console tab and paste:

document.querySelector("h1.title").textContent = "My Custom Title";

Press Enter to update the title.

Keep your custom title short for easy viewing.

Avoid breaking the page layout with very long text.

You can experiment with styling in the Styles panel.

These edits are local and will reset on page reload.

Other users will not see your custom title.

Use this for demos or personal testing only.
