Use this interactive demo to learn how to add an end screen outro to your YouTube videos.

Quick summary

A YouTube outro (end screen) lets you add interactive subscribe buttons and video links to the final seconds of any upload, boosting viewer retention and channel growth. This walkthrough covers every step inside YouTube Studio's built-in End screen editor.


Steps

  1. Go to studio.youtube.com and click Content in the left sidebar.
  2. Click the thumbnail or title next to the video you want to edit.
  3. Select Editor in the left sidebar, then click End screen in the video editor.
  4. Click Add element and select an element type — choose Video or Subscribe to add interactive end screen elements.
  5. Position and resize elements on the end screen canvas as needed, then click Save.

📌 Why this matters

A YouTube outro (end screen) is one of the most effective free tools for growing a channel — it keeps viewers engaged by surfacing recommended videos and a subscribe button in the final 5–20 seconds of every upload. YouTube creators who use end screens consistently report higher subscriber conversion rates and longer session watch times. Setting one up takes under five minutes inside YouTube Studio's built-in editor, with no third-party software required. Mastering end screens is an essential step for any creator focused on sustainable, algorithm-friendly channel growth.
