How to add links to your YouTube channel and videos

You can add links to your YouTube channel in a few places: your channel banner, your channel description, video descriptions, and (once you qualify) the link field on your profile. The catch is that each spot is limited and buried, so most creators point all of them at one link in bio page and update that page instead. Here is where every link lives and how to set it up.

Where YouTube lets you add links

YouTube has spread its link options across a few menus over the years, and the exact layout usually shifts a little between updates. As of now you generally get:

• Channel links. Set in your channel customization, these currently show near the top of your channel page and, on some layouts, as a small button on your banner. There is usually a cap on how many display prominently.
• Video descriptions. Every video description can hold links. This is the workhorse spot, since it shows under each video and in the expanded description.
• The profile / handle link. Depending on your account status and region, YouTube may let you add a website link tied to your handle.
• Community posts and comments. You can drop links here too, though they are easy to lose in a feed.

None of these is a big, obvious "here are all my links" button. That is the gap a link in bio page fills.

Why point them all at one link

If you paste five different raw URLs into your banner, your description, and every video, you have five things to update every time something changes. Move your shop, drop a new single, start a newsletter, and you are editing links in a dozen places.

A link in bio page flips that. You share one address, like isall.me/yourname, in all those YouTube spots. When something changes, you edit the page once and every link you have ever posted still points to the right place.

It also gives viewers a real menu instead of a wall of text. They land on a clean page with your shop, your other channels, your socials, and a way to support you, all in one spot.

What to put on a YouTube link in bio page

Think about why someone clicks a link under a video. Put the obvious stuff first:

• Your latest video or playlist, so new visitors have somewhere to go next.
• Your other platforms, Instagram, TikTok, a Discord, a podcast feed.
• Whatever you sell, merch, presets, a course, a Patreon or membership.
• A way to tip or support you, especially if you are not monetized yet.
• Your newsletter or mailing list, the one audience an algorithm cannot take away.

If your page supports native video, you can even embed a YouTube video that plays right on the page. On isall.me you paste a YouTube or Vimeo link and it becomes a real player, so a new visitor can watch without bouncing off to another tab.

How to set up your YouTube link in bio, step by step

1. Make your link in bio page. Go to isall.me, pick a username, and your page is live at isall.me/yourname right away. Free, no card.
2. Add your links. Drop in your shop, socials, newsletter, and support link. Drag to reorder so the most important one sits at the top.
3. Embed a video (optional). Paste a YouTube link as a video block so your featured video plays on the page itself.
4. Make it match your channel. Set colors, fonts, and a background so the page feels like an extension of your videos, not a stranger's.
5. Copy your page link. That is isall.me/yourname.
6. Add it to your channel links. In YouTube Studio, open channel customization, find the links or basic info section, and add your page as a channel link with a clear label like "Everything I make."
7. Add it to your video descriptions. Paste the same link near the top of each description. Many creators keep it in a saved description template so it lands on every upload automatically.
8. Update the profile link if available. If your account offers a handle or website link, put the same page there.

Now every link you have ever posted resolves through one page you control.

Keep it near the top of the description

YouTube usually collapses descriptions after the first couple of lines, so anything below the fold gets ignored. Put your link in bio in those first two or three lines, before the "..." cutoff. A short line like "All my links: isall.me/yourname" does more than a huge block buried at the bottom.

Pin a comment with the same link too. Pinned comments sit above the rest and catch people who never open the description at all.

A note on cost

You should not have to pay monthly just to hold your own links. A good link in bio page is free for the basics: unlimited links, native YouTube and Vimeo video, real customization, basic analytics, and a free QR code for the end screen of your videos.

For reference, a lot of link tools charge somewhere around 5 to 24 dollars a month for their paid tier. isall.me Pro is 24 dollars for the whole year, roughly two dollars a month, and it drops the platform fee on tips and product sales to zero. If you sell to your audience, that fee difference adds up faster than the subscription ever would.

FAQ

Where do I put a link in bio on YouTube? Add it as a channel link in your channel customization, near the top of your video descriptions, and in the profile or website link field if your account offers one. Pointing all of them at one page keeps updates simple.

Can I add clickable links to a YouTube video itself? Inside the player you get cards and end screens, which currently link mostly to other YouTube content and approved destinations. For outside links, the description and your channel links are the reliable spots, so a link in bio page is the usual answer.

How many links can I add to my channel? YouTube usually caps how many channel links show prominently, and the number tends to change between updates. A link in bio page sidesteps the cap, since your one channel link opens a page with as many links as you want.

Do videos play on an isall.me page? Yes. Paste a YouTube or Vimeo URL as a video block and it plays right on the page, which keeps viewers with you instead of sending them off to another app.
