Moderate YouTube comments

If you’ve enabled content moderation in YouTube, you can approve, delete, or reply to comments in your YouTube Moderate and Likely Spam streams in Hootsuite—before they’re published. You can also hide a user’s comments on your channel from any stream. To learn how to enable YouTube content moderation, go to Learn about comment settings on YouTube Help.

Anyone can report a comment to YouTube as spam or abuse. When enough users report a comment as spam, that comment gets hidden in the comments thread. If you report a comment on your own video, it’s immediately removed from your Hootsuite stream feeds and YouTube video comments. For more information, see the YouTube help article Report inappropriate content.

You can:

• Delete comments on your own videos.
• Block specific users from commenting on videos on your channel.
• Delete your own comments from any video at any time.
• Publish your own comments on your moderated videos without going through the moderation process.
