  • Question
    If I want to pin another user's comment, is it only for the person who uploaded the video or for normal followers?
    Community Answer
    It can be for any reason you want. If you made the video, you can pin anyone's comment. You can only have one comment pinned at a time on each video.
  • Question
    Can I do this without a laptop?
    Community Answer
    Yes. You can do this on a desktop computer or a mobile device that allows you to see and post comments. Some mobile devices don't have the ability to see comments, and therefore you cannot pin a post.

      • You can only do this if the comment is on a video uploaded to your own channel. If the comment is on a video uploaded to someone else's channel, clicking the icon will not give you the Pin option.
