Can you see how many dislikes a YouTube video has? Yes, but only if you it’s your channel or you are an admin. That’s probably good, but creators might still want to know. And there’s a way to tell. Let me show you two ways you can see how many dislikes – if any – your video received.
The public can only see how many likes there’ve been.
There are two ways for creators on how to see likes and dislikes on YouTube:
How to see dislikes on YouTube iPhone
To see dislikes from your phone, go to your videos in the YouTube app and click on the video you want to see metrics for.
Click on the video to get to the screen where you can see the number of likes and dislikes.
So how to see dislikes on YouTube mobile is super easy – as long as you are logged into that account.
On desktop
On desktop, you can see dislikes in the YouTube Studio. Use the drop-down in the top right of the screen when logged in to enter YouTube Studio. From there, you can see how many likes and dislikes each video has received. It also gives you a percentage breakdown.
How important is it to know the number of dislikes?
Certainly, knowing how many people didn’t like your video and took the time to click the button can be helpful. But also, don’t overthink it. Remember that most people watch the video and don’t click like or dislike it. And the higher your viewing number is, the higher your likes and dislikes will be.
Are dislikes bad on YouTube anyway? They probably influence the algorithm and don’t feel great when you see a bunch as a creator.
So, it’s good to know, but don’t give it too much influence or too little.
