Getting more subscribers to your YouTube channel can be tough. Luckily one little hack can help increase the subscribe rate of people watching your videos. This simple trick is to use a “subscribe” button for your branding image like below.

Example of a channel watermark on YouTube

YouTube allows you to upload an image that displays on the bottom right of your videos. Ideally, you’ll want to use this 150 x 150 pixel image as a subscribe call to action.

How to Add a Branding Watermark to YouTube Videos

1. Login to YouTube and Head Over to YouTube Studio

After logging into YouTube click your photo on the top right and click “YouTube Studio”. This will take you to your channel management page.

Go to YouTube Studio by clicking your profile on the top right of YouTube

2. Go to Channel Settings

On the left side of the studio page you’ll see a “customization” button.

Go to customization on the left hand side of the dashboard

3. View Channel Watermark Branding Settings

Once you’re on the customization page click “Branding” on the top of the page. On the bottom of this page you’ll see the option for a video watermark. This option will allow you to upload a 150 x 150 pixel branding image.

Go to the branding tab in channel customization

4. Choose Branding Watermark View Settings

After uploading your image you’ll have the ability to select when it displays. This includes showing the watermark at the end of the video, at a custom start time, or over the entire video.

Use the video watermark feature to set a subscribe watermark

I recommend showing it as early as possible to convert as many people to subscribers as possible.

  1. Hey there, Loved how you explained this to me. It was very detailed. The only
    problem on my end is. The button comes up really small, is there any way I could make
    it a bit larger so the viewer could see it better? I will leave my website for you
    so that you could see what I am talking about. Thanks much for the awesome
    work you did in putting this together. Slow Cooker Bill.

    1. Sadly there is no way to make it bigger, I wish YouTube would have more options for it. If you want it to appear bigger you can use a square graphic since it’ll look larger.

  2. Hi Bill
    I’ve a question:
    This subscribe button appears only on screen while the video
    playing but not underneath on the right where usually click subscribe.
    Do you thing because I’m seeing my own channel???
    if not how I’m gonna make to appear down on the right, because while
    I’m watching my own video I see two blue buttons (Analytic and Edit video)
    Thanks

    1. This subscribe button water mark is only for one of my youtube video or for all my YouTube videos including for future uploads? I mean can it appear in my future videos once it is customized now ? Can you tell me Please.

  3. Hi, these look perfect, thanks!

    Although I’m right-clicking to save, but it defaults to a .webp file? I’ve disabled all ad blockers, but it didn’t make any difference. I’ve also tried saving as a .webp file opening and saving in paint but then the transparency (?) disappears, and I can’t see anything?
