How to add External Links with YouTube videos using Video Annotations? - Technology Times



Good news to all the YouTube publishers, if you are using some of the video annotations then it is good news for you.  YouTube now has started to Crete links to some external website using video annotations.  So if you want to refer to your own website simply add link to the video annotation played and the user can both move to the referred website and also watch the video simultaneously.  Earlier this facility by YouTube was not provided.  YouTube seem to be doing this kind of stuff to make it more virtual to play video over YouTube video player.
This announcement was made by the YouTube head of products Mr. Dror Shimshowitz. 

Although YouTube share this feature but you are only allowed to add hyperlink to some other YouTube video only or to search related video on the YouTube search bar only.  This is not declared that for what time period this facility would b available.  But this can prove to be beneficial to the website holders to draw more traffic to their websites.
