Users can now add annotations to the videos which they upload on the site. Using this feature, users can add notes, comments, YouTube video and channel links within the the video.
To use this service which is in beta currently, you need to log in to your YouTube account, select the desired video, and click on “Edit Annotations.” This will allow you to add notes, speech bubbles and highlight boxes anywhere in the video as it plays. Once you have added the annotations, just save and publish the video to share with other users.
