Youtube Gaming Channel Description Template Examples | Pro Gaming Crew

Majority of YouTube gaming channels either leave the descriptions empty or write very little.

Most YouTube gamers don't have any idea how powerful a description in your YouTube channel can be for ranking your video higher in results. Ranking higher means you will be receiving more views and quite possibly, earning more money.

In this YouTube gaming guide we'll be going over some simple yet effective descriptions that you can use, copy and paste or alter to suit any YouTube gaming channel videos.

We will begin with the descriptions for your gaming videos and then move on to helping you write an About gaming video description.

YouTube Gaming Video Descriptions

Without a decent YouTube gaming video description, it will be very hard to rank your gaming video on YouTube with just a title. 

Given that there is so much competition these days especially in the gaming category, you want to give your gaming video the very best chance at succeeding. 

It's easy to just upload a video and give it a decent title and hope for the best. Without writing a proper description, viewers and YouTube's algorithm won't be able to understand what your video is about and will most likely miss your video.

What To Include In YouTube Gaming Video Description

There is a few things that you should include inside your YouTube gaming description. To start off, describe what your video is. For example, tell them what game you are playing and what part of the game you will be showing.

The first few sentences are the most important.

These are the most important to the YouTube algorithm in trying to understand what your video is about. It is also important to the viewers as this is what they will see first. So make sure you use of important information in these sentences.

Cut to the point and be direct 

Don't drag on a super long introduction description. Just let them know what it is you are showing in this video. You also don't want to confuse people so you want to be clear and concise. 

There is nothing wrong with a long description, as long as the description is about the video. Some people don't watch an entire video and prefer to read the gaming description to summarize the video.

Viewers like timestamps

If you have a long video, timestamps are extremely important as they can help viewers find what they want. 

For example if you are doing a play-through for a quest and it goes for 30 minutes. You could write in the description something like this to help viewers:

0:00 Where to start quest

5:00 How to find item

10:00 How to give item

25:00 How to fight boss

This helps viewers navigate your video easier. It also gives you more keywords for your description to appear in more search results.

Link to your socials and other pages

At the bottom of the description you can link to your Instagram, Twitch streams or anything else you'd like people to check out.

Let them know to subscribe

You need to keep reminding people to subscribe and your video descriptions are a great place for it.
