How do I add tags to a YouTube video?

In YouTube Studio, open your video, go to Details, scroll to Show more, and add tags in the Tags field separated by commas. Generate a focused set here first: enter your keyword and the tool returns 50 relevant tags with volume hints so you add the ones that matter, not random words.

Do YouTube tags still matter for SEO?

Tags are a minor ranking signal today — far less important than title, thumbnail and description — but they still help YouTube understand context and catch spelling variations and synonyms. Use a handful of accurate, relevant tags rather than dozens of loosely related ones.
