YouTube is offering channel producers on its site the chance to add a short intro clip to all their videos in a move geared toward improving channel branding. <\/p>\n
Everyone knows the power of a good introduction, YouTube software engineer John Gregg said in a post introducing the new feature. Imagine watching The Simpsons without its iconic opening sequence. Wouldnt be the same, would it? <\/p>\n
The move came in response to increasing demand from producers looking for extra ways to build a consistent brand for audiences, Gregg said. <\/p>\n
The intro-video feature allows a channel owner to perform a one-time upload of a clip of up to three seconds whichll automatically play before every video on that channel. <\/p>\n
Gregg outlined the simple steps youll need to take: <\/p>\n
1 Upload the three-second intro video youd like to use to your channel as an unlisted video. <\/p>\n
2 On your channels InVideo Programming page, click Add a channel branding intro and select the intro from a list of eligible videos. <\/p>\n
3. Select which videos you want the intro to appear on. You can choose whether to add it to all of your videos, or just the ones youve uploaded after a certain date. You can always remove or change the intro later. <\/p>\n
Simple, huh? <\/p>\n
Channel owners should keep in mind that the intros are not allowed to be used as ads, sponsorships, or product placements, nor be used with a video which itself is an ad. <\/p>\n
