Descriptions help videos get found
YouTube and Google read your description to understand the video. Only the first two lines show above "…more", so they should summarize the video and include the main search phrase. Timestamps create chapters, which show in search results and help viewers jump to what they want.
Add links to your site and related videos further down, and finish with a few relevant hashtags (the first three appear above the title).
