Annotations or End Card?

[Hulio]

End cards look way more professional, but I miss a few things about annotations. One was you could bring something to the viewers attention at any point in the video. I also used to like promoting a video by creating a video preview of it at the end and then I would create an annotation around it to take you to the video being shown/promoted. Now, if they ever make end cards that are video clips you can click on, that would really be something!!

I can still use annotations on my new videos though? Unless I have an End Card, which I usually do.

I doubt that because YouTube officially stopped the use of adding / editing annotations in May 2017:

"As adoption of End Screens and Cards has grown, the use of annotations has decreased by over 70 percent. For this reason, the time has come to discontinue Annotations Editor. Effective starting May 2, you’ll no longer be able to add new or edit existing annotations, only delete them."

As far as I know you cant use annotations anymore. I liked them for certain things and it seems my endscreens arent used very much but I guess annotations dont show up on mobile and thats the wave of the future there.
