00:00how to write bold italics and strikethrough comments on YouTube.
00:03So we can write in bold italics or strikethrough on YouTube comments
00:06by simply starting a comment.
00:07And to write in bold, you want to surround it by asterisks.
00:10So I'm just going to type an asterisks
00:12and then I'll type the text that I want bold.
00:14Then I'll just end that comment with an asterisks.
00:18And when I send that, as you can see, it is bold.
00:21If I want to do italics, I do the same thing, but with an underscore.
00:24So I'll type an underscore, then end it with an underscore.
00:28And when I send that,
00:30as you can see, it is in italics.
00:33And then finally, with a strikethrough,
00:35it's going to be the same thing, but with a hyphen surrounding it.
00:37So when I send that, as you can see, strikethrough.
00:40But there is another way where you can send not only text like this,
00:43but a lot of different fonts.
00:45And that's going to be using a free tool that I created called TextTrick.com.
00:49So once you get here, just simply type what you want right here.
00:52Then just scroll down and you'll see all the different fonts that are available
00:55that you can use on YouTube.
00:57So once you find something that you like,
01:00simply select it, it'll copy it.
01:02And then you go back to YouTube.
01:03When you make your comment, just paste that text in.
01:09Now, as you can see, it will post it in that font on YouTube.
01:12And then I will start with the text in.
01:13All right.
