Heads Up All YouTube Marketers - Big Change Happening
Just wanted to let all my fellow and future youtube video marketers know that the ability to add or edit annotations is going away May 2. Existing annotations will remain.
So this means on May 2nd all you can do is delete any annotations - you will not be able to edit an existing annotation nor add one. Your current annotations will still be seen on desktops
If you're not sure what annotations are, they gave you the ability to have a clickable link within your video. When clicked it would take you to your approved site or any page on your site.
The reason they are ending annotations is that annotations are outdated, the use has decreases by 70% plus they never worked on mobile devices only desktop.
Cards and End Screens are the way forward.

I believe in you

I could not understand where they were on my mobile device. But it affects the not the videos anyway. So it is ok
