Every popular social media
platform has a feature that allows end consumers to tag others. It can be as easy as tagging someone's user
name using an"@" logo. Unfortunately,
that really isn't the case with the popular audio streaming platform,
YouTube. Except if, you are responding
to someone else at a comment chain.
We'll demonstrate in only a little.
Why Can’t I Tag People in YouTube Comments?
YouTube was purchased by Google on October 6, 2006. Ever since then, Google has made many changes
to this YouTube platform, from the interface, on its own features. There was also the feature to tag someone
within a YouTube comment, but it was a part of another social media platform
Google tried to popularize called Google+.
While Google+ was actually an amazing social media platform,
it did not turn into the popular triumph Google was hoping for.
However, it's still possible for you to tag someone in a
YouTube opinion, but provided that you are replying to someone in a comment
thread. Here is how you can certainly
perform it.
Google integrated Google+ accounts to be connected with
every channel on this platform. When
tagging someone in Youtube tags, you would certainly be tagging the
consumer Google+ account or your brand account fully for their channel. YouTube

While Google+ was actually an amazing social media platform,

You might have pointed out that this tagging feature isn't
available anymore. Since this
announcement, Google has been preparing YouTube for the removal of Google+
connected accounts. Because of this, the
feature to tag someone in a YouTube comment has been taken away.

How to Tag Someone in a YouTube Comment
This is someone's comment thread: As you can see if you
reach reply to the main comment, the feature to tag is not available.
Here you can easily see what happens once you click answer
to someone in the comment thread. You
notice that once you click answer to someone in the comment thread, it
automatically tags the user from the comment you are currently writing.
You will see that after posting the comment with all the
automatic tag, the user's name is tagged at the article and highlighted in
blue. And that's the best way to tag
someone in a YouTube comment.
YouTube implemented a new comment tagging feature?
As of now, that is the one and only way to tag someone within
a YouTube comment. Many users have
expressed their frustration using YouTube's comment section features title and deception that also can add the link , as they
can be more complicated compared to different social media platforms.
While nothing has been formally announced yet, there's a
chance that the Google will work with implementing a better tagging feature for
YouTube's comment section. All we can do
now is wait as Google still has to deal with Google+ shutting down.
