YouTube introduces 'Pause' feature to manage video comments better: How it works?

YouTube, owned by Google, has introduced a new comment moderation setting called "Pause." "We’re rolling out a new, optional comment moderation setting called Pause that allows you, as creators, to prevent the creation of new comments at the video level while preserving comments that were already published," the company stated in a blog post. How "Pause" Works Creators can access the Pause option in the video-level comment settings, located in the upper right-hand corner of the comments panel on the watch page or in YouTube Studio. The new Pause setting adds a middle ground which allows creators to control when new comments are accepted without losing existing contributions.
