How to View/Edit/Delete YouTube Comment History in a Browser (Windows, Linux, macOS)

To manage your comments on YouTube using a PC, the operating system used does not matter. Since you make changes via any browser, the process is the same, whether you use Windows, macOS, Linux, or any other OS. Follow these steps to amend comments on YouTube:

Open your chosen browser, head to YouTube, then sign in to your Google/YouTube account if not already lofgged in.

From the dropdown menu, select “History.”
On the right side under the “MANAGE ALL HISTORY” section, Click on “Comments.” Do not click “Manage All History” or your Google Activity page opens instead with no comments on this page.

To edit a comment, the first step is to click on the “Commented on…” link.
