Tips
Keep it to a few
YouTube can show some hashtags above the title, and too many can be ignored. A few relevant tags is plenty.
Match your title and description
Hashtags work best when they repeat the main topic already in your title and description.
Add one for your channel
A short, unique hashtag for your channel or series makes it easy for viewers to find your other videos.
Use them on Shorts too
Hashtags help YouTube understand what a Short is about, just like a long video.
