YouTube Tags for Gaming Videos
Gaming tags work best when they name the exact game, the content type and the platform. Replace the placeholders with your own game title and keep the most specific phrases first.
Tags to paste into YouTube Studio
gameplay, gaming, walkthrough, game review, let's play, gaming tips, beginner guide, best settings, pc gaming, console gaming, mobile gaming, gameplay no commentary, game tutorial, gaming highlights, live stream highlights, indie games, multiplayer, speedrun

Hashtags for the description
#gaming #gameplay #walkthrough
Put these at the end of the description. YouTube may show the first three above the title; if a video has more than 60 hashtags, YouTube ignores all hashtags per video; going over 15 causes all hashtags to be ignored.
How to adapt this set
- Put the game title first, then the content type.
- Add the platform if it matters, such as PC or mobile.
- Do not add other games that are not in the video.
Tags play a small role next to your title, thumbnail and description. Use them for spelling variations and related phrases, and make sure each one describes the video. Need something more specific? Try theYouTube tag generator.
