Trendspotting Tuesday: Awesomely Annotated

Back in June, we launched Video Annotations, a feature that allows you to add background information, create branching ("choose your own adventure" style) stories or add links to any YouTube video, channel, or search results page -- at any point in your video.



Being the creative lot you are, we should have anticipated all of the amazing uses that you would have found for this feature: you are putting it to work to create elaborate narratives and games, teaching tools, promotional enhancements, and much more. To that end, this month's Trendspotting Tuesday (yes, the program is now monthly) is devoted to innovative applications of Video Annotations. Check out some examples on our home page or right here:









Inspired? Try adding Video Annotations to one of your own videos. Here's a helpful instructional video from user DestinyHomeBusiness:









Best,

The YouTube Team

HI: Thank you for the cool ideas and inventions on Youtube. It is a wonderful opportunity for all of us, and fun. Would you be able to get me help? My videos are going very, very, very slow right now, slower than before. I receive comments on their slowness. They are slower now when I watch them as well. Would you check your side of the video controls to see if some control was accidentally changed? I would appreciate the help. I can tell the number has dropped on the watched videos. Sincerely, Cindy Rockney

Check out my video. I used annotations to create VH1-style pop-up speech bubbles over a song.

We believe that we have the first interactive video with virtual background that incorporated YouTube Interactive features. Also, it is the first and currently only Interactive Law Video Quiz on the Internet, especially since it uses YouTube great and easy to use Interactive features. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBakKh8FxsI
