YouTube has announced a new 'cards' feature that will eventually replace annotations.
You can think of cards like an evolution of annotations. They can inform your viewers about other videos, merch, playlists, websites and more. They look as beautiful as your videos, are available anytime during the video and yes, they finally work on mobile.
Currently there are six types of cards: Merchandise, Fundraising, Video, Playlist, Associated Website and Fan Funding. You’ll find a new “Cards” tab in your Video Editor to create and edit them at any time.
Cards work across desktop and mobile devices. Eventually they will replace annotations. Take a look at a few examples below...
