Checked against the YouTube Help on 22 October 2026. Apps rename their menus now and then, so if a label looks different, start from Edit profile.

- Put the link that matters most first. It’s the only one shown next to the subscribe button.
- Give it a clear title. “All my links” or “Shop the merch” beats a bare address.

If it doesn’t work
The link in my Shorts isn’t clickable
Links in Shorts descriptions and comments can’t be tapped. Point people to the links on your channel instead.
YouTube removed my link
YouTube removes links that break its external links policy, or that it can’t check are safe. Check where your link goes, then add it again.
My link doesn’t show next to subscribe
Only the first link shows there. Drag the one you want to the top of the list and save.
