Labeling your location in videos and live streams enables audiences to discover your content based on the location and find other videos that have been tagged in the same place. The location tag can be viewed on the watch page for your videos and is visible to viewers of public, unlisted, or private videos that you share with them. By clicking on the location, viewers can search for public videos from that specific location.
