‘Mentions’ are a way to tag the name of another channel in your video's title or description – this helps you build a network with other creators and credit partners or collabs.

When viewers tap a mention on mobile devices, a creator info panel will enter from the bottom of the screen. This panel will share info about the channel, including a description and their latest videos.

MENTION ANOTHER CREATOR

To add a mention when you're creating or editing the video title or description: 

• Type the '@' symbol, followed by a channel name.
• Choose the channel name from a recommended list.

You can mention as many creators as you want, as long as their names fit within the character limit. When you mention another channel, they'll get a notification in their inbox.

FIND MENTIONS OF YOUR CHANNEL

• Sign in to YouTube Studio.
• From the left-hand menu, select Comments.
• Choose the Mentions tab.

CHANGE MENTION NOTIFICATIONS

Not every mention triggers a notification. You will be notified about important ones, like when a creator with a similar number of subscribers mentions you.
