Where did annotations go?

[McCoob]

I saw the message in creators studio that they are no longer available. The problem is...I really need to add a message to the video, how can I do it?

I do not have the file anymore and I do not want to re-upload the video. I also want the message to be displayed on the video, not in description, it needs to be visible.

its really gone, you cant just add annotations it anymore. you need to reupload the video add some kind of text box in the video and done.

Your options are: description, pinned comment or a short teaser message on a card (however, that would have to link to a video, playlist or other channel).

They got rid of annotations a long time ago, there’s only cards and end screen annotions.

You put your message in the discprion box and pin it.
