hey whats up guys its Marcus brownlee here from mkbhd and welcome to another HD tutorial and in this one in this tutorial I plan on showing you guys a little bit of a the features of YouTube annotations basically and I know you guys have used it YouTube annotations before basically if you you know if you've uploaded a video and I wanted to link to your channel or on something or link to some other video all those are the very simple ones but I'm just going to go through all of the YouTube annotations here I'm going to try to go through the easy ones quickly and then go more in depth with the others so if I just click on the video this happens to me might be my video so it's not going to do that little play pause thing but I can go ahead and add a speech bubble a note or a spotlight and all of these work with linking so I'm just going to add a spotlight so what we're going to do in order to link this link this annotation to something is go ahead and hit that little paper clip link button up there hit annotation link and we can do a number of things here so first of all linking to video very simple I have to do is paste a URL to a YouTube video there and it'll link to that video when you click the annotation second is playlist you can enter a link to a YouTube playlist so if you feel like showing someone of a playlist of other things you've done related to this video just go ahead and add a spotlight annotation to a playlist the third thing is Channel and a lot of people like to do this add a little spotlight over there over there watermark that leads to their channel you can enter a channel URL or a channel name just by simply putting Marcus brownlee save and putting this right on top of my mkbhd logo so that's how a lot of people like to do that next you guys can link to a compose message so if you guys want to compose a message to someone and you say you know what if you have a question just go ahead and send me a message well then in that case I will go ahead and send a compose message spotlight annotation so just go ahead and hit that YouTube users name or URL and that person when they click the when they click the spotlight annotation it'll take them directly to the YouTube messaging system and it'll i already have message ready ready for them address to that user next after compose message is group and as you guys know I've had my YouTube group running for a while you have to enter actually the URL not just the name so HTTP colon double backslash ww youtube.com / channel / mkbhd group and that's what you have to do and that URL should be valid I don't know why it's not there but yeah that's how you do it after groups there is collaborative annotations and that's where you can just take this link right here and share it with anyone and that means anyone who clicks on that can take can be taken and go ahead and annotate the video themselves so I'm not going to do that on this video but I might do a video in the future where you know anyone can just throw up their link and um you know I'll put a bunch of logos on the screen you can use spotlight annotations on those etc and that might be pretty fun so you go ahead and share that URL right there for collaborative annotations cuffed earth after that is video response upload again it's just linking to go ahead and upload a video spots it's the same as clicking that post video response button so if anyone wants to post a video response to the video they just click the annotation and you'll see it takes them directly to that same screen last but not least is YouTube's search query and that is very simple all you have to do is either paste a link to the search results or enter the search term so if you want someone to uh you know if you're saying well if you don't have the solution to the problem blah blah blah all you have to do is search you know search tiger in the search across in the search box or just click that annotation and it'll be the equivalent of going up here and typing tiger in the search box and hitting search and that is it guys so that is my sorry about that background noise that is the the brief little tour I have of the YouTube annotations I'll go ahead and submit this as an adoptive feature video but I yeah this is going to be a pretty much a simple tutorial you guys you can you know feel free to click on any of the annotations I demonstrated in this video if you're one of the first to watch it they won't have showed up but after that pretty much you can click on any of to see what they're like anyway that is basically it thanks for watching this quick tutorial and hope you liked it catch you guys in the next video peace
