20 trucchi, incantesimi e funzioni di YouTube che vorrai conoscere su questo anno (de-de)

Quando le persone parlano dei siti di social sharing più popolari di oggi, YouTube viene spesso escluso dalla conversazione a favore di siti come Facebook e Twitter.

Ma non farti ingannare: YouTube ha molto da offrire. Anche se Facebook potrebbe essere il più grande sito di social networking, YouTube ha la seconda maggiore copertura dopo Facebook in termini di utilizzo generale. E's anche il secondo più grande motore di ricerca dietro la sua casa madre, Google.

E ci sono una tonnellata di cose interessanti che puoi fare su YouTube di cui potresti non sapere se utilizzi YouTube per guardare video, pubblicarli o entrambi. Ad esempio, sapevi che YouTube ha le proprie impostazioni di realtà virtuale (VR) per visualizzare qualsiasi video a 360 gradi? Oppure puoi creare un collegamento temporale YouTube che porta gli spettatori a un momento specifico nel video? Sblocca l'unica risorsa di cui hai bisogno per iniziare a far crescere il tuo canale di business YouTube.

Cose strabilianti, gente. Per aiutarti a ottenere il massimo dalla piattaforma ancora molto popolare, abbiamo messo insieme un elenco di 20 tra gli hack meno conosciuti, i suggerimenti e le funzionalità che YouTube ha da offrire.

20 trucchi, incantesimi e funzioni di YouTube che devi sapere

1. Puoi convertire qualsiasi video di YouTube in una GIF utilizzando l'URL.

Tutti amano le GIF, ma sapere come crearle non è una conoscenza comune. Beh, dovrebbe essere, perché basta un piccolo trucco per l'URL di YouTube.

Per creare una GIF da un video di YouTube: Seleziona un video da guardare su YouTube e trova l'URL nella parte superiore del browser. Aggiungi la parola "gif" proprio davanti al nome del dominio in modo che legga, "www.gifyoutube.com/[your-video-tag]".

Questo ti porterà su gifs.com, con il tuo video già caricato e pronto per la modifica. Qui, troverai un menu di opzioni sul lato sinistro con una barra della timeline nella parte inferiore del tuo video. È possibile impostare la durata GIF, ritagliare la cornice, aggiungere didascalie e altro.

"Caption =" false "data-constrained =" true "style =" width: 555px; " srcset = "https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_features_gif.png?t=1542772607057&width=278&name=youtube_features_gif.png 278w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ youtube_features_gif.png? t = 1542772607057 & width = 555 & name = youtube_features_gif.png 555w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_features_gif.png?t=1542772607057&width=833&name=youtube_features_gif.png 833w, https: // blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_features_gif.png?t=1542772607057&width=1110&name=youtube_features_gif.png 1110w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_features_gif.png?t=1542772607057&width = 1388 & name = youtube_features_gif.png 1388w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_features_gif.png?t=1542772607057&width=1665&name=youtube_features_gif.png 1665w "sizes =" (larghezza massima: 555 px) 100vw , 555 px

Fai clic su "Crea GIF" in alto a destra e ti verrà richiesto un titolo GIF e un insieme di tag. Quindi fai clic su "Avanti" e disponi di una comoda pagina di destinazione da cui condividere la GIF appena coniata. Tieni presente che puoi solo scaricare questa GIF in un file offline registrandoti a gifs.com.

2. È possibile creare un collegamento che avvia un video di YouTube in un determinato momento.

Hai mai desiderato inviare qualcuno a un video di YouTube, ma indicarlo in un momento specifico? Diciamo che stai cercando di reclutare i tuoi amici per imparare la danza nel video musicale di "Scusate" di Justin Bieber con te.

Invece di inviare ai tuoi amici il link generale di YouTube e istruirli a fare avanzare rapidamente al punteggio di 0:50 minuti, puoi effettivamente inviare loro un link temporale YouTube specifico che avvia il video in qualsiasi momento tu scelga. Clicca qui per vedere cosa intendo.

Bene, ecco come si fa:

Per creare un collegamento che avvia un video di YouTube in un determinato momento: Apri il video e fai clic su "Condividi" all'estrema destra del titolo del video. Quindi, nella finestra delle opzioni visualizzate, seleziona la casella accanto a "Inizia da:" e digita il tempo (in ore: minuti: secondi) desiderato. In alternativa, puoi mettere in pausa il video nel momento in cui desideri che venga avviato e tale campo si riempirà automaticamente.

Link time di YouTube di un video di Justin Bieber. "Width =" 854 "title =" Link temporale YouTube di un video di Justin Bieber. "Caption =" false "data-constrained =" true "style =" width: 854px; "srcset = "https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_share_screenshot.png?t=1542772607057&width=427&name=youtube_share_screenshot.png 427w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_share_screenshot. png? t = 1542772607057 & width = 854 & name = youtube_share_screenshot.png 854w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_share_screenshot.png?t=1542772607057&width=1281&name=youtube_share_screenshot.png 1281w, https: // blog. hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_share_screenshot.png?t=1542772607057&width=1708&name=youtube_share_screenshot.png 1708w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_share_screenshot.png?t=1542772607057&width=2135&name = youtube_share_screenshot.png 2135w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_share_screenshot.png?t=1542772607057&width=2562&name=youtube_share_screenshot.png 2562w "sizes =" (larghezza massima: 85 4px) 100vw, 854 px

Dopo pochi istanti, vedrai un tag aggiungersi alla fine del link YouTube generico (in questo caso, ? t = 50s). Copia semplicemente il link e incollalo dove preferisci.

Vale la pena notare che non è possibile incorporare un video in modo che inizi in un determinato momento; non puoi solo collegarti ad esso.

3. Puoi facilmente vedere le trascrizioni scritte dei video delle persone.

Sapevi che YouTube genera automaticamente una trascrizione scritta per ogni singolo video caricato sul suo sito web? Esatto, e chiunque ha accesso a tale trascrizione a meno che l'utente non lo nasconda manualmente agli spettatori.

Posso pensare a diverse situazioni in cui le trascrizioni video possono tornare utili. Ad esempio, forse vuoi scrivere una citazione da un video, ma il tedio di mettere in pausa e digitare, mettere in pausa e digitare ti farebbe salire su un muro. O forse hai bisogno di trovare una sezione specifica di un video, ma non vuoi rivedere tutto per trovarlo. Con una trascrizione in mano, puoi trovare informazioni come questa senza averle fatte tutte a mano.

Per vedere la trascrizione di un video: Apri il video su YouTube e premi la scheda "Altro" sotto il titolo del video. Scegli "Trascrizione" dal menu a discesa.

Più tag di YouTube per trovare la trascrizione del video. "Width =" 854 "title =" Più tag di YouTube per trovare la trascrizione del video. "Caption =" false "data-constrained =" true "style =" width: 854px; "srcset = "https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_moretab.png?t=1542772607057&width=427&name=youtube_moretab.png 427w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_moretab. png? t = 1542772607057 & width = 854 & name = youtube_moretab.png 854w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_moretab.png?t=1542772607057&width=1281&name=youtube_moretab.png 1281w, https: // blog. hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_moretab.png?t=1542772607057&width=1708&name=youtube_moretab.png 1708w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_moretab.png?t=1542772607057&width=2135&name = youtube_moretab.png 2135w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_moretab.png?t=1542772607057&width=2562&name=youtube_moretab.png 2562w "sizes =" (larghezza massima: 854 px) 100vw, 854 px

(Se non vedi questa opzione, è perché l'utente ha scelto di nascondere la trascrizione).

Questa trascrizione apparirà come un nuovo modulo nella stessa finestra. In molti casi, l'utente che ha caricato il video non è tornato indietro e ha lucidato manualmente la trascrizione, quindi non sarà perfetto. Ma sicuramente ti farà risparmiare tempo e dolore.

Esempio di trascrizione di YouTube. "Width =" 855 "title =" Esempio di trascrizione di YouTube. "Caption =" false "data-constrained =" true "style =" width: 855px; "srcset =" https: // blog .hubspot.com / hs-fs / hubfs / youtube_transcript_example.png? t = 1542772607057 & width = 428 & name = youtube_transcript_example.png 428w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_transcript_example.png?t=1542772607057&width= 855 e name = youtube_transcript_example.png 855w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_transcript_example.png?t=1542772607057&width=1283&name=youtube_transcript_example.png 1283w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs- fs / hubfs / youtube_transcript_example.png? t = 1542772607057 & width = 1710 & name = youtube_transcript_example.png 1710w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_transcript_example.png?t=1542772607057&width=2138&name=youtube_transcript_example.png 2138w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_transcript_example.png?t=1542772607057&width=2565&name=youtube_transcript_example.png 2565w "sizes =" (larghezza massima: 855px) 100vw, 855 px

4. Puoi aiutare il tuo video a essere trovato nella ricerca modificando o caricando una trascrizione.

Sia YouTube che la sua casa madre Google esaminano una serie di fattori durante il posizionamento dei video nella ricerca per determinare di cosa tratta il tuo video e la tua trascrizione è una di queste. (Un fattore di classifica ancora più grande è la descrizione del tuo video, che è il motivo per cui il consulente di marketing digitale Ryan Stewart suggerisce di incollare il tuo trascritto direttamente nella casella di descrizione).

Per aggiungere una trascrizione al tuo video: Apri il video su YouTube e vedrai una fila di icone appena sotto il pulsante di riproduzione. Fai clic sull'icona all'estrema destra per "Sottotitoli / CC". (CC sta per "Closed Captions.)

YouTube sottotitoli (CC). "Width =" 319 "title =" YouTube sottotitoli (CC). "Caption =" false "data-constrained =" true "style =" width: 319px; "srcset =" https: / /blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CC_youtube.png?t=1542772607057&width=160&name=CC_youtube.png 160w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CC_youtube.png?t= 1542772607057 & width = 319 & name = CC_youtube.png 319w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CC_youtube.png?t=1542772607057&width=479&name=CC_youtube.png 479w, https://blog.hubspot.com/ hs-fs / hubfs / CC_youtube.png? t = 1542772607057 & width = 638 & name = CC_youtube.png 638w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CC_youtube.png?t=1542772607057&width=798&name=CC_youtube.png 798w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CC_youtube.png?t=1542772607057&width=957&name=CC_youtube.png 957w "sizes =" (larghezza massima: 319px) 100vw, 319px

Imposta la tua lingua se non lo hai già fatto. Quindi, ti verrà chiesto di scegliere tra tre diversi modi per aggiungere sottotitoli o sottotitoli al tuo video …

  1. Carica una trascrizione di testo pre-scritta o un file di sottotitoli a tempo. (Ulteriori informazioni sui tipi di file che puoi caricare e altro qui).
  2. Incolla in una trascrizione completa del video, in cui i tempi dei sottotitoli verranno impostati automaticamente.
  3. Digitarli mentre guardi il video.

I ragazzi di YouTube hanno fatto grandi cose per rendere quella terza opzione (digitando mentre guardi) il più indolore possibile. Ad esempio, se selezioni una casella accanto a "Metti in pausa video durante la digitazione", renderà l'intero processo molto più veloce. Ecco una GIF che mostra che in azione:

Pagina di trascrizione di YouTube. "Width =" 730 "title =" Pagina di trascrizione di YouTube. "Caption =" false "data-constrained =" true "style =" width: 730px; "srcset =" https://blog.hubspot.com /hs-fs/hubfs/youtube-transcribe.gif?t=1542772607057&width=365&name=youtube-transcribe.gif 365w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube-transcribe.gif?t= 1542772607057 & width = 730 & name = youtube-transcribe.gif 730w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube-transcribe.gif?t=1542772607057&width=1095&name=youtube-transcribe.gif 1095w, https: // blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube-transcribe.gif?t=1542772607057&width=1460&name=youtube-transcribe.gif 1460w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube-transcribe .gif? t = 1542772607057 & width = 1825 & name = youtube-transcribe.gif 1825w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube-transcribe.gif?t=1542772607057&width=2190&name=youtube-transcribe.gif 2190w "sizes =" (larghezza massima: 730px) 100vw, 730px

5. Puoi utilizzare YouTube per ottenere facilmente trascrizioni gratuite dei tuoi video e file audio.

Questo è l'ultimo sulle trascrizioni, lo prometto, ma scommetto che non li hai mai pensati in questo modo. Come saprai dalla # 3, YouTube aggiunge automaticamente una trascrizione a ogni video. Ma se stai cercando una trascrizione unica di un file audio o video e non vuoi pagare per un servizio, il sistema di sottotitoli integrato di YouTube non è un brutto punto di partenza. Puoi sempre ripulirlo più tardi.

Per ottenere una trascrizione automatica per un video: Carica semplicemente il tuo video su YouTube, aprilo sul sito web di YouTube, premi la scheda "Altro" sotto il titolo del video e scegli "Trascrizione" dal menu a discesa. La trascrizione apparirà come un nuovo modulo nella stessa finestra. Se vuoi pulirlo, segui i passaggi delineati nel n. 3 per un'esperienza di facile utilizzo.

Per ottenere una trascrizione automatica per un file audio: Dovrai caricare la tua registrazione audio su YouTube utilizzando un servizio come TunesToTube. Ci vorranno dai 2 ai 30 minuti perché YouTube lo carichi. Quindi, segui le istruzioni per ottenere una trascrizione automatica per un video, descritta sopra.

6. Puoi creare, condividere e collaborare alle playlist video.

Proprio come su altri siti di condivisione di contenuti multimediali preferiti come Spotify e iTunes, puoi creare una "playlist" su YouTube, che è davvero solo un luogo in cui archiviare e organizzare i video (i tuoi e quelli degli altri). È possibile mantenere private le playlist, renderle pubbliche o persino condividerle direttamente con gli altri.

Le playlist sono utili per molti tipi diversi di utenti, da una raccolta individuale di video di cucina per la loro prossima cena a un marchio che segmenta i contenuti video di YouTube per argomento. Ad esempio, le playlist YouTube di Tasty suddividono le ricette in base al tipo di pasto, rendendo più facile per le persone sfogliare e trovare ciò che stanno cercando:

Per creare una playlist sul desktop: Vai alla tua pagina Playlist facendo clic qui o facendo clic sull'icona del tuo account in alto a destra, scegliendo "Creator Studio", facendo clic su "Gestione video" sulla sinistra e scegliendo "Playlist". Quindi, fai clic su "Nuova playlist" in alto a destra e scegli se desideri mantenerlo privato o renderlo pubblico.

Per creare una playlist su dispositivo mobile: Fai clic qui per istruzioni che spiegano come creare nuove playlist utilizzando i tuoi dispositivi mobili iOS o Android.

Per aggiungere un video a una playlist: Se stai aggiungendo un video a una playlist mentre la stai guardando, fai clic sull'icona "Aggiungi a" sotto il titolo del video e seleziona la casella accanto alla playlist a cui desideri aggiungerla.

Se desideri aggiungere un video a una playlist direttamente dalla tua pagina Playlist, fai semplicemente clic su "Aggiungi video" e incolla l'URL di un video, scegli un video dai tuoi caricamenti o cerca un video su YouTube. Una volta trovato il video che desideri aggiungere, seleziona il menu "Aggiungi a" da quel video e aggiungilo alla playlist.

Anche i tuoi amici possono contribuire alle tue playlist. Tutto quello che devi fare è attivare la possibilità di collaborare alle playlist. Dopo averlo acceso, chiunque condividi un collegamento alla playlist può aggiungere video a quella playlist. (Possono anche rimuovere tutti i video che hanno aggiunto.)

Per aggiungere amici a una playlist: Vai di nuovo alla tua pagina Playlist e apri la playlist su cui desideri collaborare. Fai clic su "Impostazioni playlist" e scegli il tag "Collabora". Attiva l'impostazione che consente ai collaboratori di aggiungere video alla playlist e da lì puoi inviare loro un link in cui possono aggiungere video alla playlist.

Una volta che il tuo amico è stato invitato a una playlist, sarà in grado di aggiungere nuovi video e rimuovere i video che ha aggiunto in passato. Devono solo seguire alcune istruzioni sullo schermo per confermare che vogliono essere un contributore e per salvare la playlist sul proprio account.

Quando aggiungi un video a una playlist su cui stai collaborando, il tuo nome apparirà accanto al video nella playlist e tutti quelli che sono stati invitati a collaborare su quella playlist riceveranno una notifica che è stato aggiunto un nuovo video.

(Per ulteriori informazioni su come gestire i contributori, interrompere l'accettazione di contributi a una playlist e così via, leggi questa pagina di assistenza di YouTube.)

7. Puoi salvare i video da guardare in seguito.

Hai mai visto i video di YouTube che avresti voluto aggiungere ai segnalibri per dopo? Forse non sei in grado di accendere il suono in questo momento, o forse non hai tempo di guardarlo. Bene, YouTube ha preso una pagina dal libro di Facebook … aggiungendo qualcosa di molto simile alla funzione "Salva per dopo" di Facebook. Su YouTube, puoi salvare i video in una playlist "Guarda dopo" per accedere quando vuoi.

La playlist "Guarda dopo" funziona come una normale playlist, quindi le istruzioni sono identiche a quelle precedenti (tranne che non puoi invitare altre persone a collaborare alla tua playlist "Guarda più tardi").

Per aggiungere un video alla playlist "Guarda più tardi": Apri il video su YouTube e fai clic sull'icona "Aggiungi a" sotto il titolo del video e seleziona la casella accanto alla playlist a cui desideri aggiungerla, proprio come hai fatto nel passaggio precedente. I passaggi sono molto simili sui dispositivi mobili, ma fai clic qui se desideri istruzioni complete dalla pagina di supporto di YouTube.

Per accedere a quei video: Accedi alla tua home page di YouTube e scegli "Guarda più tardi" dal menu in alto a sinistra dello schermo.

Da lì puoi guardare i video che stavi salvando e rimuovere facilmente i video dall'elenco che hai già guardato.

8. Puoi creare il tuo URL YouTube personalizzato.

Vuoi offrire alle persone un indirizzo web facile da ricordare per raggiungere il tuo canale YouTube? Puoi effettivamente creare un URL personalizzato, che puoi basare su cose come il tuo nome visualizzato, il tuo nome utente YouTube, eventuali vanity attuali che hai o il nome del tuo sito web collegato. HubSpot, per esempio, è https://www.youtube.com/HubSpot.

Nota importante: Prima di farlo, assicurati di essere sicuro che questo è l'URL personalizzato che desideri, perché una volta approvato, non puoi richiedere di cambiarlo, né puoi trasferirlo a qualcun altro. Ricorda che sarà collegato sia al tuo canale YouTube sia alla tua identità Google+.

Sfortunatamente, non tutti sono idonei per un URL personalizzato. Per ottenerne uno, devi avere almeno 100 abbonati, avere almeno 30 giorni di vita, avere una foto caricata come icona del tuo canale e avere caricato la grafica del canale. Se suona come te, continua a leggere.

Per richiedere il tuo URL personalizzato: Apri le impostazioni del tuo account YouTube e fai clic su "Avanzate" nella sezione del tuo nome.

Se sei idoneo per un URL personalizzato, ti verrà richiesto di richiedere il tuo facendo clic su un link.

Seleziona la casella accanto a "Accetto i Termini di servizio". Quindi, quando sei assolutamente sicuro che sia l'URL che desideri (dato che non puoi mai modificarlo), fai clic su "Cambia URL" per renderlo definitivo.

9. Puoi aggiungere una schermata finale o delle carte per promuovere il contenuto.

Nel 2008, YouTube ha iniziato a consentire link cliccabili su YouTube chiamati "annotazioni" che potevi inserire nei tuoi video. Queste annotazioni hanno funzionato come pulsanti di invito all'azione per indirizzare le persone a iscriversi al tuo canale, vedere la merce o una campagna di raccolta fondi, visitare un'altra risorsa per saperne di più e così via.

Al fine di renderli parti più naturali dell'esperienza di visualizzazione, YouTube ha sostituito le annotazioni con le schermate finali, in cui è possibile visualizzare più call-to-action visivamente piacevoli negli ultimi 30 secondi dei tuoi contenuti.

Come aggiungere una schermata finale

I tuoi creator preferiti di YouTube hanno uno schermo di chiusura di fantasia che ti incoraggia a continuare a guardare i loro video? Ad esempio, eccone uno da Saturday Night Live:

SNL_youtube_end screen.png "width =" 730 "height =" 506 "style =" display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; "srcset =" https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SNL_youtube_end%20screen.png?t=1542772607057&width=365&height=253&name=SNL_youtube_end%20screen.png 365w, https: / /blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SNL_youtube_end%20screen.png?t=1542772607057&width=730&height=506&name=SNL_youtube_end%20screen.png 730w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ SNL_youtube_end% 20screen.png? T = 1542772607057 & width = 1095 & height = 759 & name = SNL_youtube_end% 20screen.png 1095w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SNL_youtube_end%20screen.png?t=1542772607057&width=1460&height=1012&name = SNL_youtube_end% 20screen.png 1460w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SNL_youtube_end%20screen.png?t=1542772607057&width=1825&height=1265&name=SNL_youtube_end%20screen.png 1825w, https: // blog .hubspot.com / hs-fs / hubfs / SNL_youtube_end% 20screen.png? t = 1542772607057 & width = 2190 & height = 1518 & name = SNL_youtube_end% 20screen.png 2190w "sizes =" (larghezza massima: 730px) 100vw, 730px

Puoi anche creare una schermata finale personalizzata. Aiutano a mantenere gli spettatori sul tuo canale suggerendo altri video e siti che possono verificare. Ecco come farlo:

Accedi a Gestione video, tocca "Modifica" e seleziona "Schermata finale e annotazioni" dal menu a discesa:

Chiamata alla schermata finale di YouTube all'azione. "Width =" 525 "style =" display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 525px; "title =" YouTube end screen call to action. "caption =" false "data-constrained =" true "srcset =" https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/endscreen_youtube.png ? t = 1542772607057 & width = 263 & name = endscreen_youtube.png 263w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/endscreen_youtube.png?t=1542772607057&width=525&name=endscreen_youtube.png 525w, https: //blog.hubspot .com / hs-fs / hubfs / endscreen_youtube.png? t = 1542772607057 & width = 788 & name = endscreen_youtube.png 788w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/endscreen_youtube.png?t=1542772607057&width=1050&name= endscreen_youtube.png 1050w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/endscreen_youtube.png?t=1542772607057&width=1313&name=endscreen_youtube.png 1313w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/ hubfs / endscreen_youtube.png? t = 1542772607057 & width = 1575 & name = endscreen_youtube.png 1575w "sizes =" (larghezza massima: 525px) 100vw, 525px

Da lì, sei portato allo studio di End screen creator, dove puoi giocare con diversi modelli e sfondi per determinare come vuoi che appaia la tua schermata finale. Quindi, fai clic sul menu "Aggiungi elemento" per decidere dove inviare i visitatori dalla schermata finale.

Any YouTube creators can add an end screen to customize their channels. Here's an explainer article with more details and inspirational ideas.

How to Add a Card

You can use cards to advertise products used in your videos or links on your website you want to market on YouTube. If viewers tap the "i" in the upper-right hand corner of a video, the cards expand, as in the example below:

To add a card to a YouTube video, head to your Video Manager, tap "Edit," and select "Cards" from the drop-down menu.

Then, choose where in the video you want cards to appear, and tap the "Add card" drop-down menu to choose what you want the card to promote. From there, customize the content that will appear to viewers when they tap the "i" while viewing your video:

10. YouTube has a big library of high-quality, royalty-free sound effects and music you can browse and download.

Want to add some cool sound effects or music to your YouTube video (or any video)? YouTube is there for you. It has a whole library of high-quality, 320kbps audio tracks and sound effects that you can download royalty-free and add to your videos. (Or listen to in your free time. We won't judge.)

To add music or sound effects to your video: Open YouTube's Audio Library by clicking here or opening your Creator Studio, clicking "Create" in the menu on the left-hand side, and choosing "Audio Library."

Now, the fun begins. By default, it'll start you on the "Sound effects" tab. Here, you can search sounds using the search bar, like I did in the screenshot below for motorcycle sounds.

youtube-audio-library.png" width="730" height="547" srcset="https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube-audio-library.png?t=1542772607057&width=365&height=274&name=youtube-audio-library.png 365w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube-audio-library.png?t=1542772607057&width=730&height=547&name=youtube-audio-library.png 730w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube-audio-library.png?t=1542772607057&width=1095&height=821&name=youtube-audio-library.png 1095w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube-audio-library.png?t=1542772607057&width=1460&height=1094&name=youtube-audio-library.png 1460w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube-audio-library.png?t=1542772607057&width=1825&height=1368&name=youtube-audio-library.png 1825w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube-audio-library.png?t=1542772607057&width=2190&height=1641&name=youtube-audio-library.png 2190w" sizes="(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px

You can also toggle by category (everything from human voices to weather sounds) or scroll through favorites that you've starred in the past. For easy access in the future, select the star to add the track to your Favorites. The bars next to the songs show how popular a track is.

If you switch over to the "Music" bar, you can browse through all of its royalty-free music. You won't find the Beatles in here, but you will find some good stuff — like suspenseful music, uplifting music, holiday music, jazz, and more. Instead of toggling by category, you can toggle by genre, mood, instrument, duration, and so on.

(Nota: Some of the music files in there may have additional attribution requirements you have to follow, but those are pretty clearly laid out on a song-by-song-basis. You can learn more on YouTube's Support page here.)

Once you've found a track you like, click the arrow to download it and it'll download directly to your computer as an MP3 file. Then, you can do whatever you want with it.

If you want to source sounds for your videos outside of YouTube, you'll just have to make sure to you're following all the rules for sourcing them. Refer to this YouTube Support page for best practices for sourcing audio, and this one to learn YouTube's music policies.

11. Add adjustments and creative effects with YouTube Enhancements.

YouTube has faded a number of features it experimented with at one time — including annotations and a not-so-popular slideshow creator — but one editing tool that remains quite handy is Enhancements. Nine effects you'd normally find on third-party video editing software, you can now take advantage of natively through YouTube:

  • Auto-fix lighting and color
  • Stabilize shaky camera motions
  • Apply slow motion
  • Apply time lapse
  • Trim out parts of your video
  • Rotate the view
  • Apply filters
  • Custom blurring
  • Blur faces

To make enhancements to an existing video: Click into your Video Manager and find a video you'd like to edit. Select the drop-down icon next to "Edit" to the right of the video, and select "Enhancements."

If you're editing on a computer, this button will open all nine tools to the right of your video, where you can add various fixes, filters, and blurring effects and see how they change the final product in real time.

Note that not all enhancements are available on mobile devices. On Apple and Android smartphones and tablets, you can only trim, add music, and apply filters. Read this article to learn more about YouTube enhancements.

12. Play YouTube videos in the background on mobile devices.

Sometimes, your own music playlist just isn't cutting it. Or maybe you want to listen to your favorite artist's performance at an awards show.

Either way, if you've tried listening to music on YouTube via your mobile device, you may have noticed one thing: You can't navigate out of the app. You have to keep YouTube open, and you can't use your phone for anything else, in order to listen to something on YouTube. Kind of frustrating if you're trying to multitask on your commute home, right?

Now, there are hacks so you can listen to YouTube content in the background while still using your mobile device. Here's what you do:

How to Watch YouTube Videos in the Background: iOS

Open Safari on your mobile device, and navigate to a video you want to watch on https://www.youtube.com. Start playing the video you want to listen to, then tap the Home button to close out of Safari. (I chose Katy Perry.)

youtube_katy1.png" width="320" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" srcset="https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_katy1.png?t=1542772607057&width=160&name=youtube_katy1.png 160w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_katy1.png?t=1542772607057&width=320&name=youtube_katy1.png 320w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_katy1.png?t=1542772607057&width=480&name=youtube_katy1.png 480w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_katy1.png?t=1542772607057&width=640&name=youtube_katy1.png 640w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_katy1.png?t=1542772607057&width=800&name=youtube_katy1.png 800w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_katy1.png?t=1542772607057&width=960&name=youtube_katy1.png 960w" sizes="(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px

Then, swipe up on your home screen to reveal the Action Center.

Then, swipe left to reveal the second screen on your Action Center. The details of the video you selected on YouTube should appear, and from there, simply tap Play to keep jamming.

Then, start playing the video on YouTube, and tap the Home button to return to your home screen. The audio will keep playing in the background as you use other apps.

13. You can live stream videos to YouTube.

Live streaming video has been a big topic of conversation for the past few years. It's seen massive growth, especially in the past few years with the advent of Twitter's Periscope, Facebook Live, and Instagram live videos.

Learning how to go live on YouTube is a little more complex (and confusing) than live streaming using similar platforms. On YouTube's easier streaming option, there's no simple "start" button; instead, you actually have to download encoding software and set it up to use live streaming at all. YouTube has identified 13+ encoders that are Live Verified.

If you're streaming a live event, though, all you need is a webcam. We'll get to that in a second.

Live Stream From Your Desktop Computer

Log in to YouTube and click the "Upload" button at the top-right of your screen. Normally, this is where you'd upload a pre-existing video — but instead, you'll want to find the "Live Streaming" module on the right-hand side of your screen. Click "Get Started" in that module.

Before you go live, YouTube will first confirm that your channel is verified and that you have no live stream restrictions in the last 90 days. Once that's all set, you have two options for streaming: "Stream now" and "Live Events."

Stream Now

Stream Now is the simpler, quicker option for live streaming, which is why it's YouTube's default for live streaming. You'll see a fancy dashboard like the one below when you choose "Live Streaming" on the left-hand Creator Studio menu:

youtube_livestream dashboard.png" width="998" title="youtube_livestream dashboard.png" caption="false" data-constrained="true" srcset="https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_livestream%20dashboard.png?t=1542772607057&width=499&name=youtube_livestream%20dashboard.png 499w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_livestream%20dashboard.png?t=1542772607057&width=998&name=youtube_livestream%20dashboard.png 998w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_livestream%20dashboard.png?t=1542772607057&width=1497&name=youtube_livestream%20dashboard.png 1497w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_livestream%20dashboard.png?t=1542772607057&width=1996&name=youtube_livestream%20dashboard.png 1996w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_livestream%20dashboard.png?t=1542772607057&width=2495&name=youtube_livestream%20dashboard.png 2495w, https://blog.hubspot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/youtube_livestream%20dashboard.png?t=1542772607057&width=2994&name=youtube_livestream%20dashboard.png 2994w" sizes="(max-width: 998px) 100vw, 998px

Again, you'll notice there's no "start" button on the dashboard. This is where you'll need to open your encoder and start and stop your streaming from there. Here's YouTube's Live Streaming FAQ page for more detailed information.

Live Events

Live Events gives you a lot more control over the live stream. You can preview it before it goes live, it'll give you backup redundancy streams, and you can start and stop the stream when you want.

Choose "Live Events" from your live streaming dashboard once you've enabled it. Here's what the events dashboard looks like, and you can learn more about it here.

When you stop streaming, we’ll automatically upload an archive of your live stream to your channel. Note that your completed live stream videos are automatically made public on your channel by default as soon as you're done recording. To make them disappear from the public eye once you're done, you can select “Make archive private when complete” in the "Stream Options" section of your live dashboard.

Live Stream From Your Mobile Device

YouTube has also rolled out live streaming from mobile devices for YouTube creators with 10,000 or more subscribers (as of the date of this posting — that will be available to all creators soon, according to YouTube's blog post).

Live streaming is more intuitive from mobile devices than on desktop computers. Qualified creators can simply open their YouTube app on mobile, tap the camera icon at the top of the screen, and choose "Go Live."

From there, creators can enter details about the broadcast before immediately recording live for their subscribers, as shown below:

For more instruction on how to go live on YouTube across devices, YouTube published a Help article here. Want to see what live videos others are recording on YouTube? You can browse popular YouTube videos that are live right now by clicking here.

14. You can upload and watch 360-degree videos (live and pre-recorded) — and in VR.

YouTube first announced its support for 360-degree videos back in March 2015, and it was a total novelty — not to mention a game-changer. Since then, brands, athletes, and other users have created some awesome 360-degree content, like this video from Samsung:

As you can see, the experience as a viewer is really, really cool. On desktop, you can click around the video to see all the different angles while the video plays. On mobile, it's even cooler: You can move your camera around to change the angle. You can browse the trending 360-degree and VR videos here.

How to Create a 360-degree Video on YouTube

For this, you'll need some serious equipment. Cameras with 360-degree capability that are compatible with YouTube are listed here on YouTube's Support page, along with how to create and upload a 360-degree video file.

What about live video in 360 degrees? That announcement would come a year after the first one, in April 2016 — the very same week Facebook announced its own design for a 360-degree camera. Luckily for the folks at YouTube, it beat out Facebook by supporting both live video and 360-degree footage all at once.

How to Watch Any YouTube Video in VR

The Verge called 360 live-streamed videos "the gateway drug to virtual reality" for YouTube. Other than the YouTube website or app, you don't need any fancy equipment to be able to watch a 360-degree live video and feel like you're basically there.

That doesn't mean a headset isn't an option — and an awesome one at that, since YouTube released its Cardboard feature. Cardboard is available on any YouTube video you watch or upload, and works with Google Cardboard (an actual VR headset by Google) and several other VR headsets available today.

To use Cardboard while watching a YouTube video via mobile: Select any video in your YouTube mobile app, then tap the three dots in the upper-right hand corner of the video. In the drop-down, select "View in Cardboard." You may already see this option visible in the bottom-right of 360-degree videos.

This will prompt you to connect your mobile device to a compatible VR device. Once you do, prepare for a stellar experience, and just imagine what this could mean for the content with which you populate your own YouTube channel.

15. YouTube ads target you based on an algorithm similar to Google and Facebook.

How does the YouTube algorithm decide which ads play on the videos you watch?

Turns out it works a lot like Google and Facebook ads do. Like on other free sites, the advertisers help fund the YouTube experience in return for exposure to ads. You'll see certain ads over others because of your demographic groups, your interests (which is judged in part by what you search on Google and YouTube) and the content you've viewed before, including whether or not you've interacted with the advertiser's videos, ads, or YouTube channel.

YouTube’s algorithms also try to make sure people aren’t overloaded with ads while watching videos — so it actually sometimes won't show ads on monetizable videos, even when there's a demographic match.

Here are the five ad formats you can expect to see on YouTube, and how they work:

A. Display ads, which show up next to the video and only appear only on desktop and laptop computers. The advertiser gets paid when you see or click on the ad, depending on their selection.

B. Overlay ads, which appear across the bottom 20% of the video window and currently only appears only on desktop and laptop computers. You can X out of the ad at any time.

C. TrueView in-stream, skippable video ads, which are most common ads. These are the ones you can skip after watching for five seconds. Advertisers can put it before, during (yikes!), or after the video plays, and they get paid only if you watch at least 30 seconds of the clip or to the end of the video ad — whichever comes first.

D. Non-skippable video ads, which are those longer, 15-or-more-second ads you see before plays and can't skip after any period of time, no matter how much you shout at your screen.

E. Midroll ads, which are ads that are only available for videos over 15 minutes long that are spaced within the video like TV commercials. You need to watch the ad before continuing through the video. How the advertiser gets paid depends on the type of ad: If the midroll is a TrueView ad, you'd have to watch 30 seconds of the end or the entire ad — whichever is shorter. If it's a CPM-based ad, you have to watch the entire ad no matter how long it is.

F. Bumper ads, which are short, non-skippable ads up to six seconds long that play before the video the viewer has selected. Bumper ads are optimized for mobile devices and must be watched in their entirety before viewers can progress to the video they want to view.

16. You can remove ads from YouTube videos (and watch videos offline) for 10 bucks a month.

Video ads are the reason you can watch videos for free on YouTube. It's a fact many of us have come to accept. But with YouTube's subscription service YouTube Red, that doesn't necessarily have to be true anymore.

For $9.99 a month, you can watch YouTube videos … without any ads. And, in addition to ad-free videos, you can save videos on your mobile device and watch them in the background and/or offline, and you can use YouTube's Music App (on iOS and Android) in the background, offline, and/or on audio mode. This is not a drill.

You'd think the lure of ad-free videos would have caused more of an uproar since its launch in late 2015, especially given YouTube's domination in the music space. Surprisingly, I haven't heard much noise about it. But YouTube hasn't disclosed subscriber numbers (the service reportedly has around 1.5 million subscribers) so it's hard to tell how well it's doing. Either way, it's good to know about — especially if you like collecting songs and music videos like I do, but don't like when they get broken up by ads.

17. You can use Google Trends to explore and compare popular YouTube search terms over time.

You might already use Google Trends to look at the popularity of specific search terms over time. (It can be a great marketing tool for making smarter keyword choices, for instance.) But did you know you can use it to compare the popularity of YouTube search queries, specifically?

All you have to do is open Google Trends and type a search term into the "Explore topics" search bar at the top. Once that page opens up, click on "Web Search" to open a drop-down menu, and choose "YouTube Search" so it filters by YouTube searches specifically.

You might find that, for some search terms, the search trends are very different on Google (above) than on YouTube (below).

18. There's a 'safer' version of YouTube available for your kids.

Any parent will tell you how scary it is for their kids to theoretically have access to everything public on the internet. But for your younger kids, there are ways to curb that access and have more control of what they're watching and finding — including a kids' version of YouTube called YouTube Kids.

The folks at YouTube call YouTube Kids "a safer version of YouTube." It's not a wide-open library of online videos like YouTube is; instead, it uses filters powered by algorithms to select videos from YouTube that are safe for kids to watch. It's also totally free, thanks to ads (which are regulated as carefully as possible).

You can either turn the search feature on or off, depending on whether you're cool with your kids searching for videos themselves — or if you'd rather limit them to a certain set of videos selected by the app, along with those the app recommends based on what they’ve watched already. You can set a timer to limit how much time a child spends on the app, which is music to many parents' ears.

The algorithm is darn good — remember, Google is YouTube's parent company — but, as it warns in its parents' guide, "no algorithm is perfect."

19. You can now clear your YouTube History.

You might eventually want to delete items from your YouTube search or watch history. YouTube lets you completely clear your history, pause your history so it stops recording what you search for and watch from that point forward, or go through your history and delete certain videos.

To delete your history on your desktop or mobile device: Navigate to the "Watch History" menu. Here's where it lives on your desktop browser homepage and in your mobile app, respectively:

From there, you can "clear all watch history" (permanently delete the record of everything you've watched), "pause watch history" (stop recording the videos you watch going forward), or individually remove videos from your history by tapping the X or ellipses next to videos. Here's what it looks like on desktop and on mobile, below:

YouTube published a Help article if you need more instruction for deleting items from your YouTube watch history, too.

20. You can learn about YouTube's copyrights terms from a cast of ridiculous puppets.

Made it this far? Here's a little reward: YouTube's "Copyrights Basics" FAQ page, which is, fittingly a YouTube video — and features a pretty colorful cast of characters. It's actually super informative, and it looks like YouTube's video team had a lot of fun making it.

My favorite line is probably, "You know there are links on this webpage, right? You don't have to watch this." Although the chorus of gorilla puppets was pretty great, too.

Enjoy.

We hope we've opened your eyes to some of the more awesome YouTube hacks, tips, and features out there that you may not have known about. Now log on to YouTube and do some exploring yourself. The platform certainly isn't going anywhere.
