Title: Annotations
Course: Tech Tools for Teachers > Section: YouTube

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

Note: annotations do not display on mobile devices
