Written by: Dexxter Clark, 08-11-2023

Here’s how you change a YouTube video title on a desktop computer.

Logged in?

Make sure you are logged in.
If you see your channel icon at the top right corner of the screen, you are logged in.

When you are not logged in, you’ll see a button that says: “sign in”.
When that is the case, you need to click on “sign in” and provide your login credentials.

Once logged in

Click on: your channel icon (right top corner of the screen)
Click on: “YouTube Studio”
You are now brought to YouTube Studio
Click on: “Content” (menu on the left side of the screen)
Search for the video you want to change the title of
Click on the pencil icon of the video in question (visible when you hover with your mouse over the title or description of the video)
The first text box is the video title
Click on “Save” (right top corner of the screen)

It can take a while for the change to be visible on YouTube.
Especially with smaller channels it can take few hours.
YouTube prioritizes changes to large channels to propagate faster to all local servers around the world.
When you are serious about YouTube and want to take it to the next level, take a look at my video training program: Viral Strategy.
The program takes you step-by-step through the process of getting views, subscribers and going viral.

For new creators I included a module that guides you step-by-step through the process of starting, creating and setting up a YouTube channel.
