Why adding links matters

Adding links in your YouTube description helps viewers find your website or social media. It can drive traffic to your site and boost engagement.

How to include links in your YouTube description

Open YouTube Studio and go to the video you want to edit. In the description box, paste a full URL starting with http:// or https://.

For example:

{
  "id": "YOUR_VIDEO_ID",
  "snippet": {
    "description": "Visit our site: https://example.com"
  }
}

Save your changes and publish. Viewers can click the link directly under your video.

Tips for adding links effectively

• Use a clear label before the link.
• Place important links near the top of your description.
• Add UTM parameters to track clicks.

Conclusion

Adding links is simple but powerful. It guides viewers to your content outside YouTube. Test your links after publishing to make sure they work.
