YouTube introduced a handful of features aimed at giving video creators more control over the comments on their channels.

Product manager Courtney Lessard wrote in a blog post that the following three features have rolled out:

  • Pinned comments: Video creators can promote specific comments by pinning them to the top of their feeds, enabling them to highlight positive engagement or share information.
  • Creator hearts: Video creators can now award hearts to their favorite comments.
  • Creator user names: When video creators comment on their own channels, their user names will appear, surrounded by “a pop of color,” under the next of their comments.
