YouTube Shorts Caption Limits
YouTube Shorts captions (the video title as displayed in Shorts feed) are limited to 100 characters. Keep your most important words front-loaded as only the first ~40 characters show in mobile feeds.
Tips for Great Shorts Captions
- Use a Hook: Start with a question or bold statement.
- Include Hashtags: Add 1–3 relevant hashtags at the end.
- Emojis Work: One well-placed emoji can boost click-through.
