***WATCH IN HD*** A lot of people don't realize there's a user's video search box on Youtube. Below the full Youtube search box, there's a search box next to your videos that allows you to search JUST that user's videos. Use it! A lot of questions I get have already been answered, whether they are written on my channel page or have been mentioned in a video. From now on, if anyone happens to ask about something I've already demonstrated, I'll reply with a specific keyboard in all CAPS! Example: User: Can you do a video about Google Chrome? I'm having trouble installing it... mkbHD: Aaah... Actually, I've already done a few video about Google CHROME, check 'em out! User: Awesome, thanks! So yeah, here's my wallpaper link: tinyurl.com Enjoy, SUBSCRIBE!
In this concise guide, MKBHD explains a little-known YouTube feature that can save countless viewers time: a dedicated search box under the creator's "My videos" section that lets you search only that creator's uploads. He demonstrates how to type a keyword like Safari 4 and filter results to videos that mention the term in the title, description, or tags. The video shows step-by-step how to perform the search, click the relevant result, and then use the keyword in all caps to reference a past video directly in responses. He emphasizes that this approach helps viewers find exact content without sifting through the creator’s entire video catalog, and he commits to including direct keyword-based answers in future replies. Throughout, he also shares practical examples, such as locating background wallpaper videos and tutorials related to Chrome and misilla Firefox, and even teases adding direct wallpaper links in video descriptions. The overall message is practical and time-saving, aimed at reducing repetitive questions and making channel navigation more efficient for both new and returning fans.
