Learn how to make strikethrough text on YouTube comments from both mobile and PC in 2026. In this tutorial, I walk through how to cross out words in a YouTube comment by wrapping your text in hyphens, and this works in the YouTube app on iPhone and Android as well as on a desktop browser. This means you can add strikethrough formatting to your YouTube comments to show a correction, add a joke, or make your replies stand out.

00:00how to make strikethrough text on YouTube comments.
00:02So all we need to do is open up a video and start typing our comment.
00:06And the text that you want to be strikethrough just surround with a hyphen.
00:11So if I type a hyphen and then I type whatever text I want,
00:16and then another hyphen at the end, so it's surrounded.
00:19When I send that, you can see that it is strikethrough.
00:24Now, another way to do this is to use a free tool that I created called texttrick.com.
00:28So all you need to do is once you get here, just type the text that you want.
00:32Then if you scroll down, all the text options that you see will work on YouTube
00:36and they will show in this font.
00:38So once you find the font you want to use on YouTube,
00:39simply select it to copy it and go back to YouTube
00:42and then just paste that text on YouTube.
00:44And when it posts, you'll see that the font is retained
00:47and it's now in the comment on YouTube.
