 What is up guys and welcome back to the JohnQ channel. Thanks so much for watching and when I uploaded a few videos it realized that the comments on those videos were disabled. The reason for that being apparently there was a big ring of some pedophiles that were caught on YouTube. Either way some bad stuff was happening on YouTube and so now YouTube has created some guidelines for small medium and large creators like you and me so you know to protect kids and protect the younger audience of YouTube. This is hard for me to like actually put out there because I feel like it's going around the guidelines but again it really isn't because I'm not putting out any harmful content and I'm sure you guys aren't either and you just want to upload your videos without getting your comments disabled. I'm going to show you a quick work around the the uploading on the new YouTube studio versus the classic and that's really the answer to all of this. To have your comments enabled and not disabled you have to upload the classic. So to do that you do this you go to YouTube you go top right corner create a video or a post to click on that you go to upload a video and then this window will pop up you know this is the new YouTube studio but if you're going to want to get around the disabled comments and enable your comments click on upload with classic. I don't do any of these boxes I choose not to and I go to other and I don't tell them why. It won't penalize you so don't worry you're not going to get in trouble it's just that's what I do and I choose not to so and so you can see up here you're legally required to comply with Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and or other laws required to tell us if your videos are made for kids use a new upload tool for that. I don't like about this work around is that you can't really put on cards or you know end screens and you can once you upload through here and your comments will be enabled but then you have to go to the new YouTube studio then you have to work around and actually put in your end screens and and your cards so you can do that but then you have to click made for kids and I'm not sure if that will disable your comments I haven't tried it but I just know so far it's been working for me. So again you want to just I'll do an example here upload your video just as you would in the new YouTube upload screen go as before this is the old again this is the old kind of version of this you go to your title your description your tags and then you literally just hit publish that's all it really takes and so like I said if you wanted that work around it's there for you and you know it's frustrating because the the comments and I'll tell you this it's frustrating because the comment section is very important for me you know a small relatively small creator on YouTube I want to be able to connect with my community with my audience you know to make those connections to reply to answer questions to get people to comment down below on my video so I can interact with them that's some of the most important stuff on YouTube that's why I joined YouTube so like I said that's a work around I hope you found this video helpful and I hope you found it informative again please I cannot stress enough comply with YouTube regulations conditions guidelines anything that YouTube says to do you should adhere to it because it's important they have set those rules to protect us and the younger audience so let's do so thanks so much for watching guys I will catch you next time on the Johnny Q channel peace
