- Once you land on the dashboard, look for the left-side menu and click on “Customization.”
- Locating the Description Field:
- Scroll down a bit until you find the “Description” field. This is where you can fill in your YouTube channel description.
- If you haven’t written a channel description yet, don’t worry! You can create one easily using ChatGPT.
- Using ChatGPT to Write Your Description:
