Recently, YouTube released a new feature called YouTube Cards. This feature is similar to the previously available Annotations; it allows you to display links to videos, playlists, websites, and more. Unlike Annotations, YouTube Cards have a more aesthetically pleasing design on both desktop and mobile devices—a feature that many YouTubers have long awaited. With this feature, you can add images, titles, links, and calls-to-action to your videos.

• Video – Link to another YouTube video
• Playlist – Link to a YouTube playlist
• Associated Website – Link to a website associated with your account

How to add YouTube Cards to a video

1. Go to the Video Manager and click the “Edit” button on the selected video.
2. Click “Cards” in the menu, then click “Add Card.”
3. Choose the type of card you want to use.
4. Add an image, link, or video to display on the card.
5. Click “Create Card.”
6. The position of the card can be adjusted using the slider below the video screen.

It’s quite simple, right? You can add up to 5 cards per video. Just be sure to leave enough space between the cards so they don’t overlap.
