How to Add a Link in Bio on YouTube in 2026

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create a free Linklay page. Sign up at linklay.io and pick a username — your bio link will be linklay.io/yourname. Free plan ships unlimited links, real-time analytics, and free retargeting pixels.
2. Add every URL you share on YouTube. In the Linklay dashboard paste each URL: latest video, merch, Patreon, sponsor links, second channel, newsletter, Discord. Reorder by drag, or enable AI link reordering.
3. Open YouTube Studio and edit your channel. Go to YouTube Studio → Customization → Basic info. Scroll to Links and add your Linklay URL. Set it as the first link so it appears on your channel banner.
4. Paste your Linklay URL into video descriptions. Add your linklay.io/yourname URL to the first line of every video and Shorts description so it surfaces above the fold.
5. Add it to community posts and end screens. Paste the same Linklay URL into community posts and pin it. Mention it in end screens and verbal CTAs — every traffic source funnels into one tracked hub.
