News: youtube add video annotations

News:

Video Annotations are a new way for you to add interactive commentary to your videos! Use them 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.

Annotations, once published, are shown by default. You can turn them off while watching a video through the player menu—just click the button on the bottom right of the video player.

Video annotations are available now as a "beta" feature. We're working hard to get this out of beta and, once we do, annotations will support more languages (not just English) and appear on videos embedded in other websites. Find out more
