Video Annotations is a new way for you to add interactive commentary to your videos! Use it to:
Add background information about the video
Create stories with multiple possibilities (viewers click to choose the next scene)
Link to related YouTube videos, channels, or search results from within a video
All of the above!
You control what the annotations say, where they appear on the video, and when they appear and disappear.
How do I get started?
Please visit our Help Center for more information on Video Annotations.
