In this post, we'll see that in simple steps. This technique simply helps to increase your channel subscriber's count.

So, without further delay, let me explain how to add YouTube subscribe watermark button in videos. Follow the below three simple steps one by one to brand your channel right now.

Step1: Channel Settings

Firstly, go to the YouTube studio page and select the "Customization" tab on the left sidebar.

Step2: Branding Image

Once get into that channel customization page, now navigate to the "Branding" tab. Here, scroll down and find the "Video watermark" option. For reference, check out the below image.

Now, click the "upload" button and choose the image which you want to display on your video.

Here what I'm requesting you is, pick up the best image to attract your audience.

For a quality watermark subscribe button on YouTube video, it should be,

PNG or GIF image format.
150 * 150 pixels.
≤ (less than or equal to)1MB size.

Avoid choosing an image that is difficult to find like less opacity or blur image. Because there is no subscriber conversion in that.

Bonus Tip

I recommend you download the below image (PNG) and use it as your YouTube watermark subscribe button. Because it's a commonly used image by most YouTuber's to make the audience subscribe to the channel.

By the way, you can use the logo of the channel or your image as DUST Channel did. It's the best strategies to pull more audiences.

In case, you're not ok with the above tips, then use the free image editing tool called Canva to make subscribe button.

Step3: Choose Display Time

Once you have chosen the image, it's time to choose the display time of your watermark. Literally, YouTube provides three options.

End of Video: The watermark subscribes button only shows the last 15 seconds of your video. Sometimes less depending on the length of your video.
Custom Start Time: You can furnish the start time of your subscribe button visible. For example, if you want the button to show from 0.15 seconds from the video start. Then you can customize it here.
Entire Video: Want your watermark button visible to the entire video? then use this option.

I suggest you use the last option (Entire video). This option gives a better conversion count rather than others. Once you have done it all, click the publish button.

That's all you finished.

Wait 48 Hours

Sometimes it takes 48 hours or less to showcase your watermark button on the videos. So, don't get stress about why it is not adding to your videos.
