Foster a positive community
On YouTube, you have an opportunity
to connect with people all over the world.
Here are a few key tips that help you more easily moderate
your community, protect your privacy, and stay safe online.
Set the tone of your conversation
Setting a good example in your comments and behavior
can help align your community to do the same.
It's up to you to set the tone of the conversation.
If there's a negative comment, delete it or direct it
towards a more positive light.
It's important to not let anyone put negativity into this world.
Using a block list and comment moderators--
you can block certain words or phrases
from coming up in your comments section with a block list.
Go to Creator Studio, select Community settings.
And from there you can edit your filters.
You can also nominate members of your community
to be comment moderators.
They can help you moderate your channel
when you're not online by removing potentially
inappropriate comments.
When you're back online, you can review and decide
whether to block the comments or to allow them in your channel.
As a channel owner, you can also remove any unwanted comments
and report spam or abuse to YouTube for repeat offenders.
And the offenders are not alerted if you block them.
Pause before you respond.
My number one thing is to think before you react.
Occasionally, there have been times
when I've replied to a comment too quickly before I've really
thought it through and later I've
regretted even posting at all.
Remind yourself and your community
that behind every comment is a real person.
When you respond, keep these things in mind.
Think about your tone and the way
you want to steer the conversation before responding.
Ask for help when you need it.
And remember we all have to play a part
in making the internet a safe, inclusive, and respectful place
for everyone.
Share with care.
Think before you post anything online that
might give away information you don't
want becoming public knowledge.
To protect my privacy, I'm very careful about what I post
online and show in my videos.
I don't show the address on my house.
I like to keep those details personal for safety reasons.
Don't forget to check your account privacy settings too.
Keep your account safe.
Many people use simple, personal details to password
protect their accounts.
Avoid using information like birthdays or phone numbers
when selecting passwords.
And make sure to use different passwords for your accounts.
You don't want someone hacking through one account
and being able to control all of your other ones.
Set up your password recovery options
and keep them up to date.
To add an extra layer of security,
consider enabling 2-step verification.
Manage impersonation on YouTube.
If you think another channel is using your name and image
to impersonate your channel, you should check out
some of the reporting options YouTube offers.
Thanks for watching.

Bye.
