Hey everyone, I'm Marina from Yes to Tech, and welcome back to my channel.
Have you been wondering how to create a YouTube end screen template and how to add end screens
to YouTube videos?
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make a YouTube end screen for your videos that
you can add as an outro template.
By the end of this video, you'll know exactly how to make a YouTube end card, how to add
end cards and how to edit end cards in the YouTube studio so that you can boost your
watch time and gain more subscribers on YouTube.

right in.
We'll be using Canva to create a YouTube end screen template.
If you don't have a Canva account yet, you can try it out for free by clicking on the
link in the description box below.
Once you've logged in to your Canva account, use the search bar to search for 'YouTube
outro'.
Click on the option that populates.
The best thing about Canva is that this YouTube outro template, is exactly 1280 by 720 pixels,
which is the correct size for YouTube end cards.
If you scroll down this page, you'll see a number of YouTube end card templates that
you can customize, or if you prefer, you can select a blank YouTube end screen template
to start from scratch.
Don't worry too much which YouTube outro template you choose since you can always change it
later.
Once you've selected a YouTube end screen design to customize, click on it to edit it.
As I mentioned, if for some reason you wish to change this YouTube end screen template
to another one, you can click on 'templates' from the left-hand side panel to start fresh
with another YouTube end screen design.
Just like with any regular Canva template, you can click on any elements on the page
to customize them, such as the background, text and images, or click on any of the options
from the left-hand side panel to add new photos, elements and text into your YouTube end card
design.
For more details on how to customize a Canva design, make sure to watch my video on 'how
to use Canva'.
I'll leave the link to it in the description box below.
Once you're done customizing your YouTube end screen, rename your Canva design up top,
and then click on the 'download' button.
You can either download this YouTube end screen design as a PNG or JPG file, and then click
on the 'download' button again to save your YouTube end card to your computer.
Now that you've saved the YouTube end screen template that you want to use, it's time to
add it to your YouTube video.
Open up iMovie or any other video editing platform that you use.
Select the video file you want to add your YouTube end screen template to, and then click
on the downward pointing arrow up top to import a new file.
Locate the YouTube end screen template you just designed in Canva, and then click on
'import selected'.
Drag and drop the YouTube end screen template to the very end of your video clip, and adjust
its length so that it's 20 seconds long, which is how long YouTube end screens can be.
Once you're done editing your video, export your video file as a whole with the YouTube
end screen template added to it.
To add clickable elements to your YouTube end screen, you'll first need to upload your
video with the end screen template added to it to YouTube.
To do so, click on the camera icon up top, then on 'upload video', and select the YouTube
video you want to upload and add end screens to.
Fill out the necessary information in the 'details' and 'monetization' tabs, and once
you reach the 'video elements' tab, click on 'add' next to where it says 'add an end
screen'.
You'll notice that the YouTube end screen template you created in Canva will appear
in the last 20 seconds of your video, but without any elements added to it.
To add a new element to your YouTube end screen, click on '+ element' on the top left, and
then click on video, playlist, subscribe, channel or link to add that element.
For instance, if you add a video as a YouTube end screen element, you can edit which video
appears: your most recent upload, best for viewer or you can choose a specific video.
You can also drag and drop that video element to the location of your choice on your YouTube
end screen, or click on delete on your computer to remove it altogether.
Once you've finished adding all the elements you wish to your YouTube end screen, click
on 'save' up top and then follow the remaining steps to finish uploading your YouTube video.
Now if we click to watch that YouTube video, you'll be able to see the end screen template
with the end screen elements added to it at the very end.
