Hide number of subscribers on YouTube - This is how it works

Sometimes you may not want to publicly display your number of subscribers on YouTube. Perhaps it's because you prefer to focus more on the content rather than the numbers or simply want to protect your privacy. In this guide, I'll show you how you can hide your subscriber count in just a few steps. The process is straightforward and can be done directly through your YouTube dashboard.

Key Takeaways

• You can adjust the visibility of your subscriber count in YouTube settings.
• Hiding the subscriber count does not impact your channel's performance or content.
• Changes are not immediately visible; it may take a few minutes for them to be updated.

Step-by-Step Guide

To hide your subscriber count, follow these simple steps:

First, you need to access your YouTube channel. Click on the icon of your channel located in the top right corner of the YouTube website. This icon displays your profile picture and is the starting point for many changes you want to make to your account.

Once you have clicked on your channel, you will be on your channel page. From here, you need to switch to YouTube Studio. To do this, click on the "YouTube Studio" button displayed in the top right corner. Here you can manage all necessary settings for your channel.

When you are in YouTube Studio, you will see a vertical menu bar on the left side. Go to the "Settings" option here. This option allows you to configure various aspects of your channel, including information about your subscriber count.

Once in the Settings menu, click on "Channel." This will take you to the channel settings where you can make various adjustments to your channel.

Now you will see the "Advanced Settings" tab. Click on this tab to access specific features and options for your channel. Here you will find the key settings you can customize.

Scroll down a bit until you find the "Show subscriber count" option. By default, this feature is enabled, meaning that your subscriber count is visible. To hide it, simply disable this setting.

After disabling the option to display the subscriber count, click on "Save." It is important to click on "Save" to ensure that the changes take effect. Otherwise, your presets will remain unchanged.

Now you can return to your YouTube channel. You should now notice that your subscriber count is no longer visible. This gives you more control over the information displayed on your channel.

Keep in mind that it may take some time for the changes to become visible on your channel. If the subscriber count continues to be displayed, wait a while as YouTube sometimes requires time to update the changes.

Summary

You have now learned how to easily hide your subscriber count on YouTube. This action allows you to control the visibility of your subscriber count and continue to focus on your content.
