Video Annotations is a new way for you to add interactive commentary to your videos! Use it to:

• Add background information about the video
• Create stories with multiple possibilities (viewers click to choose the next scene)
• Link to related YouTube videos, channels, or search results from within a video

Types of Annotations

From the YouTube help site:

	for creating pop-up speech bubbles with text.
	for highlighting areas in a video; when the user moves the mouse over these areas the text you enter will appear.
	for creating pop-up boxes containing text.
	for pausing the video for a length of time which you specify.
	for creating a text overlay to title your video.
	for creating a label to call out and name a specific part of your video.
