Leveraging Social Media: YouTube (Part 2)
As explained in the previous posting, YouTube is a great way to appeal to your members visually! Check our previous posting for the basics…. And now, enjoy Advanced Features!

  • Put clickable links (annotate) in your videos. You can do this after your channel has been verified by YouTube and you have external linking turned on. How to Annotate a YouTube Video   
  • Add music to your video from the YouTube library of royalty-free sounds and music.
  • Use Playlists to group similar videos.
  • Create a photo slideshow and set it to music.
  • Upload and watch 360-degree videos -- both live and pre-recorded.
  • Upload PowerPoint presentations and slides from your events for those unable to attend.
  • Add cards to a video. This is several steps beyond a simple annotation and includes donations and polls.

Once you have had time to work with the basics, try out these advanced features! Are you ready to push your YouTube learning curve???

  1. Ok now my head is spinning. Back to step one.

    I really like how the committee is introducing and encouraging the use of these social media venues. Taking it step by step makes it less scary. Thank you for the time you are investing in the presentation of these blogs.

    1. Thank you, Yettee! We Hope to create a PDF resource with all this info provided in one document--eventually! But for now the goal is as you suggest: to introduce and encourage the use of social media!
