How To Feature a Video on YouTube 2016

How To Feature a Video on YouTube 2016

Want to learn how to feature a video on YouTube 2016? Looking to automatically feature the video you uploaded most recently? Then this guide will prove useful to you. Basically, YouTube video featuring allows you to automatically:

a) Feature Specific Playlists and Videos

All you need to do is select the playlist or video you would like to feature from among your video uploads. Alternatively, you also have the option of entering a specific playlist URL or YouTube video. You can also add custom messages that will appear alongside the content you have featured.

b) Optimize Timing

When you select this option, YouTube will choose the best time during which to show the content you featured. This will be based on the past behavior of viewers on every video. If you also specify a customized start time, YouTube will automatically use this time as the fallback in case it is not able to determine better timing.

As you learn how to feature a video on YouTube 2016, remember that the content you select will be displayed across all devices at the bottom left corner. Subscribed viewers, on the other hand, will see this content within the “What to watch next” module. In the same way, the content will include a label with the playlist or video information that will appear whenever a move is hovered over the featured content’s icon.

The great thing about this handy YouTube feature is that you can use it to program any public playlist or video regardless of whether you are the one who uploaded it. Unfortunately, YouTube does not allow you to use Featured content to sell promotions, sponsorships, or advertising. Such activity, you should keep in mind, violates YouTube’s Terms of Service, and might result in the termination of your account or the loss of access to the Feature Video tool.

More Information

After you have known how to feature a video on YouTube 2016, you should use the information below:

i) Featured content can be seen both in landscape and in portrait view on iOS and Android devices

ii) Currently, featured content is available on iOS and Android; however, it does not work on other tablet, TV, or mobile devices

iii) The annotations on featured content will not appear on custom players without Chrome

iv) The featured playlists or videos will also not show on videos using cards

Overall, you need to learn how to feature a video on YouTube 2016 if you are to improve the functionality of your channel, and to gain more views for particular videos and playlists.

    Sam

    “My website had no hits, now its booming, We started getting lots of calls, Excellent Job, Thank You !!!"
    Alex

    “Guy is one of the most passionate SEO professionals out there. SEO isn't just his job, it's his vocation. He also focuses on the most current form of SEO in my opinion and that is Local SEO. I threw a very tough project at Guy with a very short timeline to rank. Given the circumstances, Guy did everything possible to rank the project in the shortest time possible. His word is worth its weight in gold. In the SEO industry which can be very shady, this is incredibly important. Especially when not dealing face to face with an individual. Guy is extremely available and very personable. His ability to adapt his vast knowledge of Local SEO to develop a strategy particular to my project puts him over the top.”
    Nathan

    “I went searching for an SEO person. I did not want to be thrown in a template or into a company that mass-produces their SEO work. I wanted an independent professional that would work with me personally. I got that in Guy. He followed up his initial email with a personal professional phone call. He laid out a smart strategic game plan and quickly gave my website a strong foundation coordinating my google accounts, video, keywords, and blog. My website foundation is rock solid. I would highly recommend Guy as a powerful resource for your SEO work.”
    Ed

    “When I started working with Guy, I had a Google Maps listing that was languishing. I really wanted to get my listing to show up on page 1 in Google Maps. That’s when I had the good fortune of coming across Guy — not only is he responsive, communicative, and involved, but he knows what he’s doing. Within a month or so, Guy had conjured up his online magic tricks and got us into position 3 on Google Maps, landing us squarely on page 1. I’m just thrilled with the results that Guy was able to achieve — and let’s be honest, we hire folks like Guy to get us results. And Guy delivers. Can’t recommend him enough.”
    Dr. Carl
