Use this interactive demo to learn how to view dislike counts for your videos in YouTube Studio.

Quick summary

YouTube Studio lets creators view dislike data for their videos through the Content tab, where hovering over the Likes (vs. Dislikes) field reveals the hidden dislike count. This method works directly inside YouTube Studio without any third-party extensions.

Steps

Navigate to the left-side panel in YouTube Studio and click Content.
Find the video you want to check, then place your mouse cursor over its corresponding Likes (vs. Dislikes) field.
The dislikes data for the selected YouTube video will now be visible.

📌 Why this matters

YouTube removed the public dislike count in 2021, leaving creators without direct feedback on how audiences respond to their content. However, YouTube Studio still exposes dislike data to channel owners through the Content tab, giving creators a critical signal for measuring video performance and audience sentiment. Knowing your dislike ratio helps you identify underperforming content, refine your video strategy, and make data-driven decisions to grow your channel. This demo shows exactly where to find that hidden metric inside YouTube Studio in just a few clicks.
