What Are YouTube End Cards
YouTube end cards are the graphics at the end of the video (or not). You can use them as a call to action to ask viewers to subscribe to your channel and watch the other videos, which makes your videos more interactive. The types of YouTube End Cards are:
Video or Playlist: Add another YouTube video or playlist that viewers might be interested in.
Channel: Link to a channel you want to promote or thank.
Donation: For creators in the United States who want to raise funds for a U.S. nonprofit organization. If you can’t find the option Donation, that’s normal because you are not the creator in the U.S. Maybe you also find some YouTube videos are not available in your country, read this post: How to Watch Blocked YouTube Videos – 4 Solutions.
Poll: Engage with your viewers in a poll and get feedback from them to make the channel better.
Link: This feature only for those who join in YouTube Partner Program. With it, you can link to associated websites, crowdfunding, or merchandise sites.
Remember:
- You can add no more than 5 cards per video.
- YouTube end cards don’t work in Flash video, so you’d better convert flv to mp4 first.
