Google announced today a new feature_for YouTube that will let_creators upload a 3-second intro clip that_will play before all of their channels’ videos. In order to take advantage of the feature, channel_managers upload the intro as an unlisted video, select “Add a channel branding intro” on the InVideo Programming Page and then choose on which videos the clip should play. One caveat, however, is that Google won’t allow these intro videos to serve as_ads, sponsorships or product placements.
