The YouTube algorithm recognizes videos with more comments and pushes them out to a wider audience. Here are 9 ways you can get your viewers to comment on your videos and boost your video\u2019s overall engagement rates:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> Reply to all comments<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comment back to people who\u2019ve commented on your video. Use an informal, friendly tone of voice. Try and get a conversation going by asking questions. Your comments also add up to the video\u2019s overall engagement rates.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 936px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/HbDOc0QOXUpn6CoEUO0IQ5M8BeFDdtFdnOypVZaJc-4fDSa87awogJu8_HFSVACU_8GZ5UgJTWTAe9lYCcXi3IbmofRv1va3VLzxPN1WyVLYJ7KUqAoKuqe3vdqlUjY1evYR4tSO\" alt=\"\" width=\"936\" height=\"602\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credits: rydoon\/Instagram (https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BzL-rPsAa1H\/)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Be the first one to comment on your video<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Break the ice!

Tell them to watch the video and then comment on it saying that you sent them there. For example, if your YouTube name is Max Donuts, your viewers can comment: \u201cMax Donuts sent me here\u201d or \u201cWho else is here because of Max Donuts?\u201d.
