video viewers by adding simple annotations and captions
throughout the video.
I personally only add one annotation to each of my videos and
rarely add any captions.
Adding an annotation is very easy to do. Just click “Edit” on
the video you want to edit. Then click “Annotations” in the
menu bar. Next click “Add annotation” and choose Note.
Now just enter your text. I like to use font size 16 with either
white or black text. I choose the most appropriate background
color based on the colors in the video.
I always start the annotation around 30 seconds into the video
and usually I'll have it remain on the screen until the video
ends.
Here's an example of one of my annotations:
