How to write a description that works
The first two lines matter most. They show in search results and above the Show more fold, so say what the viewer gets and use the phrase they would search.
Add chapters. A list of timestamps starting at 0:00 turns into chapters on the video, which helps viewers jump to the part they want.
Put links below the opening lines, not above them. Your channel, anything you mention in the video, and what to watch next.
Use two or three hashtags at most. YouTube shows the first three above the title and ignores all of them if you add more than sixty.

Questions
How long should a YouTube description be?
YouTube allows 5,000 characters. Most good descriptions use a few hundred: two strong lines, chapters and links.
Do descriptions help a video get found?
Yes, a little. YouTube reads the description to understand the video, and the first lines show in search results.
How do I add chapters?
List timestamps in the description starting with 0:00, at least three of them, each on its own line with a short label.
How many hashtags should I use?
Two or three. The first three show above your title. More than sixty and YouTube ignores them all.
Is the description generator free?
Yes, with no sign-up. There is a daily limit so everyone gets a turn.
