InVideo Programming Annotations
Unlike regular annotations, InVideo Programming
allows you to promote both your channel or any
video on YouTube across all your uploads. How
InVideo Programming works:
•
When promoting videos, pulls in the thumbnail as
the annotation. Videos with optimized thumbnails
perform better.
•
Ability to upload a custom, transparent square
image to promote your channel. Unsubscribed
viewers who hover over the channel image have
the ability to subscribe to your channel without
interrupting the video.
•
You can set InVideo Programming to appear at the
beginning or end of every video.
•
Only available to channels that are in
good standing.
•
InVideo Programming annotations are viewable on
mobile devices.
For more information on where to edit InVideo
Programming visit the YouTube Help Center.
Example Uses:
•
Promote your most recent upload
