TUTORIAL: How To Use YouTube's New End Card Editor

In this tutorial I'll show you how to use YouTube's new End Card Editor! These big "interactive cards" let us add new interactive elements to the last 20 seconds of any video. They're also big, clickable, and work seamlessly across both desktop and mobile devices. Viewers on any device can take you up on your call-to-actions at the end of your videos, which is great! Here's how to use YouTube's end card editor to setup your end cards on your videos.

Great, thanks for the preview! We'll make sure to get our Card Template and bulk Card Update tools to work with these once they are available to the general public.

Awesome tutorial Tim! I'm so excited for this new feature!

[AuthenTech]

If you or someone else has an image template (layered photoshop file / transparent png) for sizing and rations, that would be amazing!

Keeping viewers engaged with other videos is a pain having to manually edit them into my end card. Big advantage is that, like annotations, it is changeable on the fly without having to re upload a new video with a new end-card. A great way to keep viewer's attention and have a call to action which is also changeable. Thanks for sharing (as always) and looking forward to getting this but starting to plan for it based on this info.

Could you add an annotation in the beginning to show the "End Screen & Annotations" is still in beta and not everyone can access this functinalty yet. Would save a lot of us new starters lot's of time. Thanks

Hi Tim, I love how you keep us up to date with YouTube. I like this feature. Can't wait to use it.

[JoeCroninSHOW]

When does it come out....another thing I dont have.. 35K subscribers maybe i dont have enough

[HarryPotterFolklore]

Just hit my first 1000 subscribers!! Never thought this would happen in a million years! Thank you for your videos Tim!!! I would not be even close without your help!

[SimplySoccer]

Will this show up on tablets and phones as well?

[jamiedoesthings]

I'm so glad they're rolling this out. Not too long ago I sent feedback that you could choose from your existing videos in cards, but for click-through annotations you had to leave the tab, find the links, then add them manually. Big improvement!

[BuzWeaver]

It appears to only be available, currently, for people with more than 5k+ or 10+ subscribers?

[alexanderlyon]

This is going to make my life way easier. I especially like how you can just click on a video that already has the set up you want and YouTube uses that same set up. That's too easy. Thanks Tim!

[McKinleyGriggs]

The Tube gods are taking their time with releasing this lol.

[blackenwhite]

I've seen YouTubers everywhere having these outro things, and I've been searching for so long to find a way to know how to do it, and now you have taught it to me! Thank you so much!!

[SteamOnTV]

I honestly wish YouTube would allow the use of end cards + annotations. It doesn't make sense limiting a creator to one or the other. Annotations have a completely different purpose than end cards.

[PrimalVideo]

Awesome tip Tim! Great overview, look forward to trying it out.

[Veenav]

finally - I've been waiting for this feature! Thank you for sharing & I'm so happy to see the growth of your channel whilst being a Dad too. I have one child & just about cope with that! Lots of respect to you ❤️

[BakerbrothertvOfficial]

When will this be available to everyone?

[Lupz]

Really hope they make this available for everyone. I'm a long way off from having a decent sized subscriber base, but this is the kind of thing that could really help.
