How to Add a Link in Bio on YouTube

YouTube gives you several places to put links, but they are scattered across the channel, and most creators only ever fill in one of them. If you want viewers to actually find your shop, your other platforms, or your one main page, you need to add your link in the right spots and make sure the page it opens is worth the tap. This guide covers exactly where to add links on YouTube today, including the Shorts link sticker, and then how to make that link convert.

The smartest move is to point all of these spots at a single link in bio page, so one page covers your shop, your socials, and your newsletter, and you only update one thing when something changes.

Add Links to Your Channel Banner

The links that show in the bottom-right of your channel banner are the most visible on your whole channel.

1. Sign in to YouTube and go to YouTube Studio.
2. In the left menu, click Customization, then open the Basic info tab.
3. Scroll to the Links section and click Add link.
4. Enter a link title, like “My page”, and paste your link in bio URL.
5. You can add several links, but the first one shows on your banner, so put your most important link first.
6. Click Publish in the top-right to save.

Add Links to Your About Page and Description

Your channel description appears on your About page and in search, so it is worth filling in fully.

1. In YouTube Studio, go to Customization, then Basic info.
2. In the Description box, write a short summary of your channel and include your link in bio URL on its own line so it is easy to spot.
3. The same Links section from the step above also appears on your About page, so the links you added are already there.
4. Click Publish to save your changes.

Add a Link to Each Video Description

Every video is another doorway to your link. Add it to your descriptions, ideally near the top so it shows before the “Show more” cut-off.

1. In YouTube Studio, click Content in the left menu.
2. Click the video you want to edit.
3. In the Description field, add a short line with your link in bio URL near the top.
4. To save typing it every time, go to Settings, then Upload defaults, and add the link to your default description so new uploads include it automatically.
5. Click Save.

Use the Link Sticker on Shorts

Shorts can carry a tappable link sticker, which is the closest thing YouTube has to the Instagram link sticker.

1. Open the YouTube app on your phone and record or upload a Short.
2. On the editing screen before posting, tap the Sticker icon at the top.
3. Choose the Link sticker from the options.
4. Paste your link in bio URL and add a short label.
5. Place the sticker where it does not cover your face or captions, then post the Short.
6. Mention the link out loud or in your on-screen text so viewers know to tap it.

Link availability on Shorts can depend on your account, so if you do not see the sticker, keep your link in the description and pinned comment in the meantime.

Pin a Comment With Your Link

A pinned comment sits at the top of the comment section and is easy to add to any video.

1. Under your video, post a comment that includes your link in bio URL and a quick call to action.
2. Tap the three-dot menu next to your comment.
3. Choose Pin.

Why a Designed Page Beats a Plain List

Now the part most creators skip. You can add your link in every spot above, but if it opens a slow stack of grey buttons, you lose the viewers you worked to get. YouTube viewers arrive curious about a specific thing they just watched, and a generic list gives them nothing to look at and too much to read.

A designed page does the work instead. With more than 60 premium themes on mypage.cc, each a full design system, your page can match your channel instead of looking like a default. Because the pages ship near-zero JavaScript, they load almost instantly on a phone, which is where most of your viewers tap from. You can lead with your latest video embedded right on the page, add a clean social icons row, link out to your shop, and add a contact button for sponsors, all in one place. Instagram-style stories and an auto-updating feed keep the page current between uploads, and on Pro you can add a custom domain, lead-capture forms, and analytics to see what viewers actually click.

If you are weighing your options, this is the same reason creators choose a Linktree alternative that loads fast and looks designed: the link gets the same traffic, but more of it converts.

Add your link in every spot YouTube gives you, point them all at one page, and make that page fast and beautiful so each view does more than play once.
