How to Pick a Winner from YouTube Comments
Use a comment picker tool like Gleam to randomly select a winner from eligible YouTube comments, while ensuring that all entry conditions are met.
Picking a winner from YouTube comments manually can be slow and risky. Scrolling through and choosing at random can feel biased and doesn’t verify whether users followed the required steps. To ensure fairness, it’s best to use a comment picker tool that automates the process.
With Gleam's Competitions, you can verify that users commented on your video, completed any additional entry actions, and filter out ineligible entries. This gives you full control and confidence in your winner selection process, while providing transparency for participants.
Random selection tools like Gleam’s giveaway picker also help you avoid the perception of favoritism. Winners can be chosen automatically or manually approved, and a live draw feature can even be used to make the process more public and trusted.
