Hi Sitanin! The category of your YouTube videos can definitely impact your channel’s visibility and success on the platform.
When you upload a video to YouTube, you have the option to choose a category for your video. This helps YouTube understand what your video is about and can help it recommend your video to people who are interested in that category.
Choosing the right category for your video can help it reach the right audience and increase your chances of being discovered by new viewers. For example, if you create cooking videos, choosing the “Food & Drink” category can help your videos appear in search results and recommendations for people who are interested in food and cooking.
In addition to choosing a category for your individual videos, it’s also important to consider the overall category or niche of your channel. Having a clear niche or category for your channel can help you attract a dedicated audience and stand out from other channels on the platform.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
