Hashtags on YouTube?! #OhYeah Need I say more? I’m tempted to end the blog post here. But I won’t. Hashtag support has come to YouTube! In a pretty quiet update, YouTube has enabled support for hashtags within search – surfacing new and trending videos. Typically when you search on YouTube, you’re presented with results that are determined by top-secret algorithms (which usually focus on solid ratings and engagement). Searching hashtags, however, will show you a few trending videos, but will also show you newly created videos in that topic. #HUGE #WantIn? Of course you do! Whether you’re uploading a new video, or editing old ones, now’s your chance to […]

How long should your YouTube video intro be? Video creators! An interesting question about video intros popped up on our Fullscreen Network Twitter account recently, which got us thinking: how long should a video intro be? How long is too long? It’s a key question because it affects audience retention and watch time, which are increasingly important on YouTube. Attention spans are falling Services like Snapchat, Instagram, and Vine have trained audiences toward ever shorter videos. And you can see the effects of this shorter attention span on YouTube too. Just a few years ago, “short-form” content on YouTube meant anywhere from 7–10 minutes. These days, the sweet […]
