Without the Annotation Editor, creators will no longer be able to add new annotations or edit existing ones. Also, according to feedback from creators, annotations are difficult to create, while the setup process for End Screens can be up to 10 times quicker. “End Screens and Cards work on mobile and desktop, giving you more bang for your buck.”Īmong other reasons for sunsetting annotations, YouTube reports that End Screens and Cards generate seven times more clicks than annotations - and, on average, viewers close 12 annotations before clicking on one. Currently, there are 440M videos to be archived.
YOUTUBE NEW ANNOTATIONS ARCHIVE
This is a project created by myself and /u/cloudrac3r to archive as much annotation data as possible before the 15th. From what I can find, there is no project dedicated to archiving YouTube annotations. “With 60 percent of YouTube’s watch-time now on mobile, why go through the work of creating annotations that won’t even reach the majority of your audience?” writes YouTube product manager Muli Salem on the YouTube Creator Blog. Recently, YouTube announced that all annotations will be deleted on January 15th, 2019. Since offering End Screens and Cards, YouTube says the use of annotations, which only work on desktop, has decreased more than 70 percent. Google has decided to discontinue its Annotations Editor beginning May 2, making annotations - any text, links or hot spots layered over a video - no longer available to creators.
