How To Add a Logo To Your YouTube videos



I love learning new things and sharing them with you so, for today's post I'm going to show you a little trick I picked up this week that will improve your video branding and make your YouTube videos look more professional. 

How To Add a Logo To  Your YouTube videos


This week I added my own logo so it now shows on all my videos uploaded to my YouTube channel. I learnt this little gem by doing a quick search on Google and visiting their help page.

You can use a branding watermark to embed your channel logo across all videos on your channel. When you add a watermark, viewers can directly subscribe to your channel if they hover over the watermark when using YouTube on a computer. It won't show to users who are already subscribed to your channel.

How to add your branding watermark
- Sign in to YouTube.
- Go to Creator Studio by clicking your account icon > Creator Studio.
In the left menu, select > Settings

    1. Adding a watermark/logo is just a little detail but it strengthens your online branding. So quick and easy to do too.

      P.S. would love to see you do a booktube channel.
