Choosing this option will hold all of the user comments while you personally evaluate, approve, or reject each one.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I block certain words and links on YouTube comments?
The terms to be blocked can be added to the Blocked Words box on the Automated Filters tab in the right pane by going to YouTube Studio > Settings > Community. By using commas to separate them, you can add numerous words. Check the Block links box to prevent comments containing links from appearing. To save the modifications, click SAVE.
Why can’t I comment on the YouTube videos?
Several factors might be at play here. For example, if the owner has set the video or the entire channel to be “Made for kids,” if comments are disabled for the video or the channel if you’ve used some inappropriate language that YouTube has temporarily blocked if the text in the comment needs to be reviewed and approved by the owner before it can be seen.
If I change my comment settings, will the existing comments be impacted?
Depending on what kind of remarks they are. If you update the settings, the new comments will appear on both your channel’s main page and the comments made on the newly uploaded movies. The comments you already have on your channel’s main page, any new comments you make, and the comments you already have on current videos, however, will be unaffected.
If I turn the comments off and back again, will the old comments come back?
Yes. Existing comments vanish when you disable the comments. The audience may once again see all of the prior comments when you turn them back on.
