Trending Audio for YouTube?

Hi guys,

Do you use trending audio on Youtube? Is it as effective as on Instagram/TikTok?
Also I find it really hard to assess which audio is actually trending on YouTube so any tips regarding that would be highly appreciated.

I’ve tried using trending audio, but it doesn’t have the same impact on YouTube as it does on TikTok.

I think trending audio works better for Instagram Reels. YouTube seems more content-focused, not audio-driven.

I actually had some success with trending sounds on YouTube Shorts! It boosted my views a bit, but not like on TikTok.

Honestly, I didn’t even know you could use trending audio on YouTube. I thought that was more of a TikTok thing

I focus more on SEO and video quality rather than the audio trends. For YouTube, I think content matters more.

I agree, finding trending audio on YouTube is tricky. I just go with what works for my audience instead of chasing trends.
