How to Add a Link in Bio on YouTube (2026 Guide)
Add links to your YouTube channel page, banner, and video descriptions — and point them all at one custom bio page that converts.
YouTube gives you more link slots than Instagram or TikTok — channel links, banner links, and video description links — but they're scattered, easy to miss, and often ignored. The trick is consolidating them into one bio page you can reference everywhere.
Here's how to add your link in bio on YouTube, in all the places that matter.
Step-by-Step: Add Links to Your Channel Page
- Open YouTube Studio (desktop) or the YouTube app.
- Go to Customization → Basic info (or your profile settings).
- Scroll to the Links section and click Add Link.
- Enter a title (e.g., "My Links") and paste your bio page URL.
- Publish/Save — the links now appear on your channel home page.
YouTube also lets you add links to your channel banner, which display as icons overlaying the banner art — a high-visibility spot viewers see first.
Put the Link in Every Video Description
The description is where "link in bio" actually happens on YouTube:
- Open the video in YouTube Studio.
- In the description, paste your bio URL as the first line (the part shown above the fold).
- Add a short callout: "✨ Everything I use & make → link".
Because YouTube truncates descriptions, the first line is the only one most viewers see — put your bio link there.
Why One Bio Page Beats Many Links
YouTube lets you list several links, but they compete for attention. A single link in bio page is cleaner:
- One URL to mention in every video and description.
- A page that routes visitors to your store, newsletter, other platforms, and lead forms.
- Analytics that show which of your videos drives the most clicks.

- Community posts — attach the link in post text.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many links can I add to my YouTube channel?
YouTube allows multiple links on your channel page and banner, but consolidating them into one bio page is cleaner for viewers.
Where should the link go in the video description?
First line — it's the only part shown before the "more" fold, so it gets the most clicks.
Do YouTube links show as clickable in comments?
No — comments aren't reliably clickable. Use the description, channel page, or a pinned comment with the full URL.
Create your free link in bio and drop one URL into every YouTube description.
