Is an intro necessary for each video?

Ive seen multiple channels some of which have intros to each video and others dont. Do you guys recommend having an intro before each video or just for some. And if so, how long should each intro to a video be?

Thanks

It's perfectly fine to not have an intro! However if you really want one I like them to be like 4-6 seconds NO MORE!!! If the intro sucks it can turn people away from your video.
 
For walkthrough's, let's play's type absolutely no for each video. I think its works well for tutorials, reviews type of video's. Intro absolute at max 5 seconds! Any longer and i(and probably think many others) will leave your video and never will come back!
 
I usually only use intros for special videos, but if I do; I put them after a highlight of the video. Make sure you have something interesting to keep people on your video, an intro at the very start can turn people off
 
I usually have a short 5 second intro after going into the basics of what my next video will be about.
 
One day, I want to have an intro, but right now with my very small channel, I worry about interrupting content. It's hard enough to get views!
 
In terms of branding consistency you want a quick, engaging and memorable intro. If you can't make one like that, don't bother doing one.
