YouTube and video titles

A middle dot or bullet keeps titles readable without using up many characters:

Title
Morning Routine · Vlog 12

Avoid stacking lots of symbols in titles; search engines may treat them as clutter.

Build your own

Type your words into the separator maker, choose any dot (or type your own), and copy the result.

Questions

Which separator is most popular?

The middle dot · with spaces on both sides. It's light and works in every app.

Do separators count toward the bio limit?

Yes. Each dot and each space counts as one character.

Can I use dots in my Instagram username?

Usernames only allow letters, numbers, periods and underscores, so only the normal period works there. Use other dots in your display name and bio.
