Online information influences health care decisions and may contribute to vaccine hesitancy among pregnant individuals. We assessed the quality (reliability and comprehensiveness) of YouTube videos about COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy. We systematically identified videos and recorded video information and quality. 137 videos were reviewed. Comments, likes, dislikes, duration, reliability, and content scores differed between sources. Videos were low quality overall, but videos produced by medical sources tended to be higher quality. Quality was positively correlated with duration, but not views.
