Backlinks from Youtube

Hello there,

Some youtube influencers talked about my product on their channel, I was wondering if having a link to my website in their video description (2000 to 500 000 vues) has the same impact on SEO than a backlink from another website.

Thanks!

YES, It does count as backlink.

Thats what I thought, so lot of views on the video + lot of subscribers on the channel = higher authority?
