Changing game tag after adding video from YouTube on Steam
Is there a way to edit your imported videos and change game that you used as tag when importing videos.

The reason i am looking for this is, when i added some videos at first and in selecting for what game to add video, there was 2 Grand Theft Auto V in select box, and now many videos that i selected are not tagged with correct Grand Theft Auto V game.

Under your videos on Steam click "Manage Videos".
Tick the ones you want to change.
Click "Delete".
Click "Add videos from YouTube"
Do as normal and tag the correct game.

This will basically add the video again with the correct tag :P

That's not a solution, I have added Shadow Of Mordor walktrough Part 6 under MotoGP17 tag So if I delete and add part 6 now it will be after part 18

Actually it's the perfect solution for the OP and it kinda seems like it worked for him.
If it's not the solution for your issue then make your own post about your specific issue in detail.

Good Luck anyways.

Actually it didn't worked for me, and something somehow is messed up again, actually with me it's more tricky problem. In game list there are 2 GTA V tags, so you never know which one how it will work. On my videos page you can see that i have 89 videos, but on my GTA game you can see 35 videos uploaded, and each tag leads to different page.

I tried removing and adding video but it switch the order in list so that is solution only if you have just few videos so you can delete them all and readd with correct tag.

I see, never knew you had so many videos :P
Mine also has 2 GTA V but the first one is the main one, the second is the bonus edition I purchased, I would assume using the first one all the time is best.

I basically unlinked all my videos and just started the link process from the beginning again and linked each one, it really should work fine after that.

Yeah, i plan to make videos of all the missions and everything required for 100% completion, so i will have many more videos but this bugs me alot with wrong tag. Eventually i am gonna delete all the videos and add them again with correct tag hopefully it will take it's order by video time so i wont have to deal with adding one by one to get them in order. But i am kinda super busy lately to even record new videos.

I hope all works well :)
If you do not come right then email Valve, they are good with helping with issues like this :P
The video manager needs a serious update so maybe this can help them see that :P

I know I'm hella late but the thing about deleting and putting the video back on your profile is that it won't show it in the activity feed which kinda defeats the whole purpose of having your video reach your friends list. But I guess the only solution is to wait till the videos peak in views, and then starting to re-add all the videos again with the right tag :yazdsmile:

Very sad, in my opinion steam's ui need a lot of improvement

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
