YouTube announced Today, we’re adding a new comment moderation setting, “Pause,” allowing creators and moderators to keep existing comments on videos while preventing viewers from adding new comments.
Instead of turning off comments completely or holding comments and reviewing them manually, you can temporarily pause comments until you have enough time to filter out trolls and negative opinions. can.[一時停止]The options can be found in the video-level comment settings on the app’s play page or in the top right corner of the comments panel in YouTube Studio. When pausing is turned on, viewers will see below the video that all comments and comments that have already been published have been paused.

For example, “On”, “None”, “Keep All”, “Off”. Other settings are self-explanatory, such as Basic, which holds potentially inappropriate comments for review, and Strict, which holds a broader range of potentially harmful comments.
