Enable and manage commenting on a video

Enable comments on your video

You can allow viewers to add text and video comments to your videos by enabling the comment setting on the Video Details tab. To do this, follow the steps below.

1. Log into your account.

2. Click My content at the top of the page.

3. In the Videos area, hover over the video for which you want to enable commenting and click Details.

When you click Details, the video opens in the Video Details area.

4. At the top of the page, on the right, click the Publish & Visibility menu.

5. To allow viewers to comment on your video, select the checkbox next to Allow viewers to comment.  If you do not want to enable commenting, clear the checkbox.

If you enable viewer commenting, members of your audience will see the Comment section below your video on the watch page.  

Note: Viewers must be logged in with a ScreenPal account to add comments, but all viewers can see comments.

Manage comments

You can reply to and delete comments left by viewers, if necessary.  Manage comments below the video in Video Details or on the video watch page.

To reply to a comment, click the Reply button and then enter your response. To delete a comment, click the Delete button and then confirm that you want to remove the comment.

Note: If you are part of a Team Plan, commenting will need to be enabled by your administrator.
