Getting support from YouTube has come a long way since the early days of scouring help forums and sending unanswered emails. These days, creators and viewers have faster, smarter, and more direct ways to get the help they need. Whether it’s recovering a hacked account, solving a 

 issue, or general troubleshooting, creators have many more options than they had even 

But with so many options available, knowing the best path to resolution can be confusing.

That’s why we’re going to break down every legitimate way you can contact YouTube Support. Whether you're a new creator or a seasoned YouTube Partner, you'll find clear steps to get fast assistance while dodging endless help center loops.

This may sound crazy, but your first stop should be the

. While it might be a bit overwhelming, the Help Center offers an array of articles covering common issues related to account management, video uploads, monetization, and more.


While it doesn’t offer the individualized support a creator may need, it does provide support documentation for almost any issue a YouTuber can think of. That said, you may need to do some digging. Even with the search function, it can sometimes be tricky to find exactly what you need.

YouTube provides live chat and email support, however, there’s a catch: Only certain creators are eligible to take advantage of it. Eligibility typically requires:

A minimum of 4,000 watch hours in the past 12 months

So, while it’s not an option for every creator, the Live Chat and Email Support do provide a more direct way for established YouTubers to iron out their issues. 

You can access support on either desktop or mobile.

To access Live Chat and Email Support on desktop:

Click on your profile picture and select "Help."

Describe your issue and follow the prompts to initiate a chat or send an email.

To access Live Chat and Email Support on mobile:

Open the YouTube app and tap your profile picture.

Tap on "Contact Us" and follow the instructions.

While this is a more direct way to access YouTube support, response times can vary, which means you may need a different option for more pressing issues. Which brings us to…

Without a shadow of a doubt, whether you are a video viewer or a video creator, the best way to get the quickest response from YouTube is to reach out to 

As you can see, they do reply to questions on a very regular basis and are always keen to investigate unusual things that might be happening on the platform. They support nine languages through this feed and seem to operate 24 hours a day.

But be prepared: They are asked a lot of questions. Sometimes they're asked the same question over and over again. So, don't be surprised if you're directed to the help pages from YouTube or automated responses. Also, if you're trying to get specific help with your channel, especially monetization, again, don't be surprised if they give you some standard responses about the team reviewing your channel.

Think of the Team YouTube Twitter account as the catch-all point of contact for the platform. There are already many policies and processes in place that YouTube will want you to go through before they start to give you any personalized assistance.

If Team YouTube can't help, then the official 

 may be able to. Again, this is another resource where you may find answers to your questions, which are answered not only by YouTube, but by YouTube users just like you and me. There are several categories to browse through or you can just flick through the latest post as if it were a forum.

The thing to bear in mind here is that essentially anyone can ask a question, which also means anyone can answer them too. While there are dedicated product experts, you might want to double check the answers that are provided. You can also search through the Community database to see if your question has already been asked and answered or you can ask your own question via the link at the bottom of the screen.

While it may not be a solution for many creator problems, YouTube has recently introduced an AI chatbot to assist creators in recovering hacked accounts.

Accessible through the YouTube Help Center, this tool is designed to guide users through the process of securing their accounts and reversing unauthorized changes.

The AI Chatbot launched in late 2024 and is only accessible in English to a certain segment of YouTube creators, however, there are plans to expand it moving forward.

When in doubt, ask the people! If you’re having a specific issue, it’s likely that some other creators have had that problem as well. This is where asking other users outside of the Help Community can come in handy.

, offer peer-to-peer support (while also serving as a great resource for learning more about the platform). Even though it’s not an official support channel, these communities can provide insights and shared experiences from fellow creators. And if they can’t solve your problem, they can probably at least point you in the right direction.

While it would be awesome for YouTube to engage in one-on-one conversation with every video creator on the platform, that's simply not possible. So live chat is restricted to channels with over 25,000 subscribers and 100,000 hours of Watch Time in the last 12 months.

Yeah, if you thought monetization requirements were tough, this is a whole other level. With all that being said, if you do have access, you can simply fill out a form, click start chat, and be placed in a queue to await the next available customer service representative.

If you are not quite at that level yet, you can login to YouTube Studio, click on “Help” in the upper right hand and select “Contact Us” which will open a chatbot that will guide you to helpful resources.

On your YouTube Channel, access the Creator Studio then click on the monetization section. On this screen, click on the help and feedback button at the bottom left and then click on send feedback. This will display a pop up where you can take a screenshot and send YouTube a message.

We’ve already made a dedicated video on how this can 

speed up your YouTube monetization application

, and had many successful testimonials on this strategy working. Of course the send feedback tool isn't just for asking about monetization. You can use it to report any issue on YouTube, and the advantage with this contact method is that it's available on almost all YouTube pages. So whatever it is you need to report, use this function.

If you have a general interest in what YouTube is up to, then the 

 is one you should definitely subscribe to. It's actually run by the YouTube team, and they upload regular updates about new features, bugs, and questions the YouTube community has about the platform.

They will also reply to viewer comments within videos, but you may not want to use this as a way to contact YouTube about a specific issue you have. It's more about general conversation on YouTube as a whole.


Now, if you haven't quite made it into the 21st century yet, there are some old fashioned ways you can contact YouTube.

YouTube does have a physical headquarters in San Bruno, California, USA, although there are more YouTube offices dotted throughout the world. You could try and contact YouTube through snail mail, if you’d like.

, where they include their address and fax number, along with lots of other links to various departments where you can directly speak to YouTube.

Contacting YouTube can be tricky, but it is possible. We bring you the most up-to-date guide on reaching out to YouTube Support.

How to Contact YouTube Support - The ULTIMATE Guide

When you launch your YouTube channel, remember that you are entitled to absolutely nothing, especially subscribers. You need to work hard, and hustle day and night to earn every single view and every single subscriber. On that note, let us give you 10 expert tips that should get you thinking about how to build your super-engaged subscriber fanbase:

#1 Make Building a Relationship With Your Audience a Priority

Subscribers are earned by building up a relationship with your audience, and that can be done in many different ways. Of course, the most obvious one would appear to be on a personal level. You're standing in front of a camera, meaning the audience can connect with you directly, and vloggers certainly will build up subscribers as they tell more of their story.

But it can also be on an educational level. I know of many videos where I've watched something, and I've had that light bulb moment in the video, and that makes me click subscribe immediately. That sort of subscription happens a lot with educational and How To channels. The problem with that is that the user usually just wants a specific answer to a specific question that you gave them, and then, they're not interested in anymore of your content. But that's the nature of YouTube - subscribers can have different values to different people.

I think ultimately, if you can establish a relationship with your audience and build up a certain level of trust, those are going to be your most valuable subscribers who will invest not only in the video that they have just watched, but in future content on your channel. I think all of the tips that you're gonna see in this post relate back to this one.

#2 Double Down on the Video Content That’s Working For You

Now, there is one tried and tested, guaranteed to work shortcut to getting more subscribers, and that's sub for sub. 

, but there is a hack to getting more subscribers faster, and that's to analyze the data on your own channel to see what videos convert videos into subscribers. This can be done through one of the VidIQ tools. It's called the Channel Audit, and when you open it up, there is a section dedicated to videos getting the most subscribers for your channel. It stands to reason if those videos are turning viewers into subscribers, you should do more content on those themes. The Channel Audit, by the way, is part of our huge VidIQ arsenal that will help you research YouTube, analyze videos, audit your channel as you've just seen, and take optimal steps to help grow your channel. 

#3 Be Consistent with Your Upload Schedule - Give Viewers a REASON to Subscribe

Being consistent comes in many different shapes and sizes, but one of the most important ones is consistency of schedule. Make sure you keep posting so people come back to your content, but most importantly, keep consistent in your choice of topic. Let's say it takes three videos to convert a viewer into a subscriber:

The first video creates awareness of who you are and what potentially you do on YouTube.

The second video creates that consistency. Now, they know what you do and that they like the content.

The third video, build more momentum of what we talked about in tip one, trust, and that's where the subscription may come.

If you're jumping from topic to topic to topic, you may never get past the awareness stage of your content. I know this may sound counter productive at this point, but you really need to focus down on one specific topic. The thing that you're most passionate about and that you can tell the best stories about.

#4 Treat Viewers as Guests - Make it Easy for Them to Understand What Your Channel is All About

Consider viewers as your guests, and welcome them warmly into your home. Give them a guided tour so they know where everything is, and those guests will soon become friends. What do I mean by that metaphor? Sort out your channel page! This will include creating a channel banner that visually tells your audience what you do in five seconds, and uploading a channel trailer video that best represents the kind of content that you do.

Also, always create Playlists that help inform the visitor on the topics that you cover and show recent uploads so people know you are still producing content.

#5 Ask Viewers to Subscribe - They Probably Will

Sometimes, you've just got to tell your viewers what to do because they won't do it themselves. There's nothing wrong with occasionally asking for a little bit of help from your audience, and if you do it too much, your audience will let you know. If you've never tried it before, definitely give it a go, and try and make it something fun.

#6 Get Inventive with Calls to Actions (CTAs)

Generally speaking, when you ask your audience to do something, it's what's known as a call to action. But you can be more subtle. You could have graphics appear on screen that you don't even reference. Simply search for 'subscribe animation green screen', and you'll find plenty of free options on the Internet

#7 Get Savvy with Your Branding Watermark

Want to know about something that could increase subscriber growth by 500% - your branding watermark. Many video creators simply use their channel logo. But we recommend using a subscribe button like this because when you mouse over this button on a desktop, you can subscribe to the channel. It does exactly what it says on the tin.

When we switched to this subscriber button, our subscribe rates from that source increased by over 500%! As a free gift to you, 

. For more information about how to implement this on your own YouTube channel, check out this video: '

#8 Reach Out Via Community Tab & YouTube Stories

Not every video creator can produce videos every single day, but you should still produce content every single day. How? well, if you have more than 1,000 subscribers, you can post status updates, ask questions, post voting polls, and promote videos through the 

. If you only have time to post one video a week, you always have five minutes to post an update on your Community tab.

 if you have access to it. Create short vertical form video clips that you can quickly record to keep your audience up to date with what you're up to. You can even do video responses to questions through this feature, which is pretty awesome for building relationships and establishing trust with your audience.

Now, I know what you're thinking at this point. The Community tab and YouTube Stories are all very well and good for my subscribers, but what difference does that make to non-subscribers? Well, here's the weird thing. Those community posts and YouTube Stories can hit people who have not subscribed to your content but have watched your content or it's related content to what that viewer is interested in. It's true! We post regularly in our Community tab, and we often get comments from users who aren't subscribed to our channel. There's nothing we can do about it, but we do appreciate YouTube reaching out to a new audience on our behalf :-)

#10 Reference Your Subscribers in Your Content

Maybe you don't have access to the Community tab, or to YouTube Stories yet. Fair enough, you still have access to YouTube comments. You 

 be responding to every single comment you can, because this all links back to tip number one, building relationships and building trust with your audience. It's always a great feeling for the commenter to know that the video creator is paying attention to what they say and responding to their comments. And we try and do that on VidIQ with every single video that we do. And there's other ways to acknowledge your community, as well, such as referencing them directly in videos. If you can make your audience feel special, there's a much higher chance of them investing in you.

If you want to take your YouTube channel to the next level then make sure to download vidIQ. It will help you research YouTube, analyze videos, audit your own channel, and take actionable steps

10 Killer Tips to Get More Subscribers on YouTube

When you are logged into YouTube, you should see your channel logo in the top right-hand corner of most YouTube screens. If you click on that, you have the option to go to YouTube Studio. This is currently in beta, but will become a standard as 2019 progresses. This is your new dashboard or analytics homepage, and from here you want to click on the Settings section down the left-hand side.

On this screen click on Channel, and finally you want Branding. This is where you can set a video branding watermark, and what this does is add an image of your choice to the bottom right-hand corner of videos, which viewers can mouse over and use to subscribe to a channel. This branding watermark also appears on the mobile YouTube app, but you cannot use it here to subscribe to a channel. The ideal image should be square, 150 pixels by 150 pixels, and no more than one megabyte.

How to Add a Branding Watermark to Your YouTube Channel

To add a branding watermark, simply click Choose Image, and select one from your computer. You can select when the branding watermark appears on your videos, but we highly recommend choosing the entire video, so that the viewers have the opportunity to subscribe whenever they want. This branding watermark affects all videos on your channel, and don't forget to save before leaving this screen.

This is an absolute no-brainer, it's guaranteed to work, it's a free way to get more subscribers, and it's a YouTube tool. Now you could of course use your own channel logo, and many do, but my question is this. This is a branding watermark, and the call to action is to subscribe to your channel. So it might as well say exactly what it does on the tin. As you can see, when we changed our branding watermark to this current Subscribe button, and set it for the entire length of the video, our subscriber count from that source increased by over 500%, and because we're such lovely people, we want you to enjoy the same success.

This is the ‘Subscribe’ button mentioned in the video

 - just click on that link, download it, and apply it to your channel.

YouTube has a little feature that’s guaranteed to get you more subscribers. We show you how to turn it on, and what impact it will have on your channel.

How to Get More YouTube Subscribers In ONE MINUTE!

If you’re new to YouTube but want to monetize your content you’ll need to generate 

, and you’ll also need 1,000 subscribers to qualify. Here are 10 tips to help you attract those first 1000 subscribers to your YouTube channel

#1 Apply Directly to Your Audience to Subscribe

There is a school of thought that suggests asking for subscribers, may sound a little desperate, even cheesy, but it's simply a part of the YouTube fabric. People ask you to smash that like button to improve the YouTube algorithm and engagement rates. I've never had a single comment on one of my videos complaining about asking for subscribers and if you never ask, you may never get.

#2 Use Resources to Encourage Subscriber Sign Ups

A way you could encourage your viewers and subscribe is to use animations on your videos to make the subscribe button pop. You can get all sorts of resources from all over the internet. Simply try what fits for you and you may see an upsurge in your subscribers.

#3 Take Advantage of Your Watermark Branding

Our next step is to take advantage of our watermark branding. When viewers click on this icon, it takes them to your channel where they could subscribe after watching more of your content. It's edited and created via the branding page on the Creator Studio. Make sure the word ‘Subscribe’ is included in your icon, and don’t introduce it right at the beginning or at the very end of your video. You want it to act as a visual distraction, maybe 30 to 45 seconds into the video.

#4 Add a Call to Subscribe on Your Endscreen

While you can’t add subscription links in YouTube Cards during your video, you can add a subscribe button to your Endscreen. Have a play around with graphics and animations for a really strong call to action (CTA).

Next up is a neat little trick. Whenever you share your YouTube channel add a command to the end of your link, like this: 

. When users click on it they are prompted to automatically subscribed to your channel before actually visiting your YouTube channel page.

#6 Use a Pinned Comment to Ask for Subscribers

Another way to directly appeal to your audience for a subscription is to write a comment and then pin it to your videos. When you do this, that pinned comment appears at the top of the comments list. Now again, I feel as if honesty is the best policy. Be open and transparent. Tell your audience why you're pinning these comments, why you're asking for subscriptions. Maybe it's because you want to invest the money you earn back into the channel with new equipment or products.

#7 Add a Subscribe CTA to Your Video Description

You could also add a similar message to the video description of all of your videos.

#8 Be an Active Part of the YouTube Community

Another thing you can do is reach out to an entirely new audience by adding value to other channels. That might be watching their content and posting awesome comments that either get pinned or liked by the channel creator and create a conversation. When people get involved in those conversations, they might think, "this video creator perhaps has value on their own channel." So, try and attract a new audience who may really enjoy your content and subscribe.

As an example, we get all sorts of awesome comments from you on our videos. I'm sure many other video creators are reading those comments, agreeing or disagreeing, generating a conversation, perhaps visiting your channels and subscribing. In a recent example, we had a video creator who got an audit on one of our live streams, and that drew in a significant number of new subscribers to his channel. He increased his subscriber base by 5% just by contributing to our 

#9 Post Content on a Regular and Consistent Basis

Our next tip may sound obvious, but it does need reinforcing. Post new content on a regular basis. For some viewers, it may only take one video to convince them to subscribe to your channel. But for others, they may watch a video, enjoy it, but they don't subscribe. Then in their YouTube homepage, they see a never new video from you, they watch it, enjoy it and say, "Yep, I've seen a couple of videos from this person now. I enjoy their content. I'm going to subscribe."

#10 Make Your YouTube Channel Homepage Welcoming

Following on the theme of encouraging viewers to become subscribers, make sure that your channel homepage is very welcoming. Use a channel trailer, give a good description about what your channel does including a good channel banner, and of course, plenty of playlists that tell the viewer exactly what your channel's about. In fact, when you're sharing videos, share the playlist video link. That means that when a viewer is watching your video, they're within your playlist environment. There may see it more videos that they like from your channel and eventually subscribe.

Top 10 Tips to Get Your First 1000 YouTube Subscribers NOW

Here’s a fun little fact for you - the 

 went live on February 22nd, 2013. After 30 million views and 500K subscribers, we decided to find out who our very first subscriber was. You can do the same by following these steps:

These are the people who first placed faith, trust, and value in the message you have to share.

As a creator community, especially during these very challenging times for everybody, give something back to those who first supported you and gave you the courage to start your YouTube channel. Take a look back to who your first subscribers were and watch one of their videos, give it a like, and post a nice comment. It may mean the world to them right now.

How to Find Your Very FIRST YouTube Subscriber!

As a YouTuber, you have the potential to reach a global audience with your content. Because as access to the Internet and cheaper mobile devices increases across the world, millions of new viewers are tuning into YouTube to watch a staggering range of topics and creators.

Even if you publish content in your native language, you can translate your video into a huge number of other languages. That way you can reach audiences in many different countries, and therefore grow your views and subscribers. And who doesn’t want that?

Find Out Where Your YouTube Viewers and Subscribers Come From

First of all, let's first find out where your audience comes from so you can make decisions about what languages to translate your content into.

Click on your YouTube profile image and then go to the new Studio.

From here click on ‘Analytics’ and then click on the ‘Audience’ tab at the top of the screen.

Below the graphs, you should see a ‘Top Countries’ panel showing you where in the world your audience watches from.

With this information, you can start to translate videos into that country's native language.

How to Translate a Video Title & Description on YouTube

To do this go to the ‘Video’ section of the YouTube Studio.

On each video in this list, you will see an edit button that will take you to that video's details page.

Down the left-hand side you will see a subtitle section, click it, and this will show you all of the current subtitles and translations for this video.

 audience are from India, so let's do a Hindi translation for some of those viewers. To do this:

Click the ‘Add Language’ button and use the drop down menu to select the language you want to translate into. Now this language is being created. Click ‘Add’ under the title and description column, a pop up box will now display showing the video's original language for the video title and description and an empty box for your translations and this is where we insert a little magic.

Once you have the vidIQ extension installed (

), you will see this translate button that with a single click will translate both the video title and description into your chosen language.

Make any edits to the texts you need to and then click the publish button so that now when viewers use YouTube in that language, your title and description will be correctly translated for them.

If you want to translate video tags, you can do that too. Go to the details section for the video and then scroll down until you see all of your tags for that video. Again with vidIQ installed, you will see a translate button that allows you to choose a language to translate all of your existing tags into as quickly and as efficiently as you've just seen.

There is a caveat with video tags however, in that irrespective of language, tags share the same tag space on YouTube. So you can't have a set of English tags and a set of Hindi tags, they are all lumped together and with 500 characters to play with, that's not much room.

How to Translate Subtitles for a YouTube Video

The next question that you may be asking is what about subtitle translations for your entire video?

The challenge we've had with subtitle translations is that the AI needs to listen to you in your native language and translate that into text, which isn't always perfect. Then it needs to take all that text and turn it into a new language and by the time you've gone through all of that process, the translations can be a little garbled. To say the least.

The best option available to you right now is to use a professional service such as 

. We use Rev to transcribe our videos in English, then convert those transcriptions into other languages.

This service can be pricey, so this suggestion is for larger channels who are getting millions of views a month and have a large audience in other languages. When you're talking about four or five percent of people watching in France, Spain or Italy, that can add up to hundreds of thousands, if not millions of views for those types of channels.

Or if you want to go even further, you can do this. In the video below, I am speaking Spanish. Now, I have to be honest with you, I have no idea what I’m saying because I don't speak Spanish myself. But the guys at 

 do. They take your channel and translate the whole thing into a brand new channel with everything including your voice translated perfectly into that language. That's why we call this YouTube channel 

When you can provide audio in a new language, it takes translation to the next level. Over the last year, we have been creating and translating content that will provide real value to our Spanish speaking vidIQ audience and just like any channel, it has required a lot of hard work and a lot of patience. But just like any channel, when it does the right things consistently, YouTube will begin to reward you with more views, more subscribers, more exposure.

So as your channel begins to grow and your audience starts to widen, think about the languages that those people speak and how you can help them with your content.

UK flag with arrow pointing to multiple international flags representing language translation

Did you know that you can translate your YouTube video title, description, tags, and subtitles into a huge range of other languages? It's a great way to reach a global audience and grow your views and subscribers.

How To Translate Your YouTube Video in to ANY Language

On average, how many comments do you get on your YouTube channel every single day? As your channel grows, you’re only going to get more of them, so let me show you how to answer them efficiently so you can stay better connected with your audience.

YouTube has rolled out a new feature called ‘Smart Replies’ which should help you answer at least some comments with automated text. But we have an easier solution that you can use via the 

But first, let’s take a look at the new YouTube Smart Replies set up. You need to access the comments page first. To do this:

Click on your profile image in the top right-hand corner of most YouTube screens

Click ‘Comments’ in the left-hand navigation bar to display the most recent comments that have been posted on your channel, whether they be for your videos, community posts, or YouTube stories.

Underneath some of these comments, (but not all), you will see some smart reply boxes. To add these as a reply to the comment all you need to do is click the box which will populate the reply line, which you can edit if you wish before publishing.

When smart replies appear, you don't always get the same options as they are context-specific to the comment itself. Presumably, YouTube is picking out common phrases and predicting comments you might use as stock answers. Hopefully, over time this will improve, giving you more smart replies to more comments.

Reply to More YouTube Comments with vidIQ

Now while this is a step in the right direction for YouTube, I wouldn't exactly call them "smart" replies. First of all, they're fairly infrequent, and I would also say they're pretty dumb replies since each one only contains a few words and a smiley if you're lucky.

Well, there is a tool that can do this a lot better and it's absolutely free. Let me show you what it is.

Let's take this as an example. On a video about how to get 1,000 subscribers we see a person who has posted a comment, but they only have six subscribers. We know this because we have 

 and along with the sub count, you will see this vidIQ button:

If you click it, it opens up the ‘Comment Template’ tool where you can create stock answers to questions and comments you get that are specific to your channel.

So, in this case, we can reply with some videos that will help the creator get to a hundred subscribers before they even tackle a thousand subscribers. And we've done all of this in a matter of seconds.

. So we know we get asked all the time about Playlists and custom thumbnails and how to get 

But we also have a lot of ways to say thank you, which courtesy of the vidIQ's tool, also populates the commentor's name to personalize the response.

Our general recommendation is that you respond to every single comment on your channel but eventually, as your channel grows that’s going to become impossible.

But YouTube's Smart Replies, in combination with vidIQ's comment templates, all which, to remind you, is 100% free, at least gives you a fighting chance of responding to a lot more comments than typing out each one by hand.

Engaging with your audience via comments is one of the keys to success on YouTube. The platform has rolled out 'Smart Replies' to help creators with this, but we have an even better solution!

The Secret to YouTube Success: Reply to More Comments!

Deleting a video permanently from your own channel couldn’t be easier. Just follow these steps:

Click on your YouTube profile image in the top, right-hand corner of the screen

From this dashboard screen, click the ‘Videos’ link from the left-hand navigation bar

Mouse over any video on this list, to be shown several options.

Click the three dots to the right, and you should see the option to delete the highlighted video

 warn you that this action is permanent and can't be undone, and will make you check a confirmation box to agree to this. Also, this will be your last opportunity to download the video if you need to.

How to Delete More Than One Video From YouTube

If you want to delete videos in bulk, you can use the checkbox column on the left to select multiple videos.

When you do this, a black bar of options appears at the top of the list
