When YouTube switched over to its current, much-maligned Google+ commenting system, they also did away with creators’ ability to manage all their videos’ comments through their YouTube inboxes. Today, YouTube launched a new comments management page aimed at making up for the loss.
YouTube creators can now see, reply to and moderate all their comments through the comments page found in the community section of their dashboards — all of which essentially amounts to the old comments section of the YouTube inbox … except new.
YouTube wrote on their Creator Blog that they “fast-tracked the development” of the new comment management page, and so of course that fast-tracking means corners were cut and some options like replying inline and expanding all replies are not currently available.
