Use caps and emojis carefully to emphasize emotion or highlight special elements of your video.

Recommended Character Limit: Under 70 characters

About: Descriptions are an overview of what your video is about.

Recommendations: When writing your descriptions, keep searchability top of mind. Use keywords users will search for and use them toward the beginning of your description.
