Aim to have descriptions around 200-300 words that describe your videos. Just make sure you're writing in natural English, and at the same time aim to use as many of your tags (that you hopefully researched).

Other then the default stuff, I try and get 200+ words but that isnt always the case. then sometimes I have like 500+ words. more the better as long as its doesn't look spammy

Your desc. should be as along as you want it to be. Some tips I would use: always provide links to your other social media sites, site sources/contributors, and leave a description that helps google/youtube find and rank your videos.

It's could be whatever length you want but you can use it to promote your social media, your channel and etc.

Think of it more as quality than quantity. One thing for sure I try to do is mention the title of my video atleast 2-3 times since I read that helps with SEO

I try to use 4600-4800. It gives you space to go back later. But it helps with see if your tags and words in the description match and are used a lot
