Video master or video liker always uploads videos to YouTube, the world’s largest platform for video sharing & watching. As a video maker, you may also want to follow this lead to get your videos known by more people. There are two tips you need to know before you start: Firstly, YouTube Standard License allows YouTube to play or sell your videos with no pay. Secondly, everybody is able to download your videos and play them on their site without your permission. What’s worse? There is no way to track it or make it stop. Once your video becomes hot, nobody will know the video they watch is out of your hands.
So a better way to avoid this kind of troubles and protect your legal right is to add your channel logo on your YouTube videos. Though YouTube carries an online tool named “Branding”, it doesn’t attach a stable logo to videos. If anyone download the video with some third party YouTube downloader, you will find your channel logo disappear and no longer exist on your video. So we try our best to provide you with this tutorial, which tells about how to add channel logo on YouTube video better. Luckily, we find a solution to solve this issue.
We list two way to fast add logo on YouTube video. The first way is the traditional way - using YouTube Branding Tool. If you are familiar with YouTube watermark, you may want to skip to the second way.
YouTube watermark allows you to add logo on YouTube video by its Branding tool. With only three steps, you can finish adding channel logo on YouTube videos.
1. Go to YouTube homepage and choose “My Channel”.
2. Select “Video Manager”
3. Click “Channel” and hit “Branding”. Then you can add your channel logo on your YouTube videos.
After applying YouTube Branding tool, your YouTube videos will carry channel logo all the time only if it’s playing on YouTube. Just as we said before, it has a setback, which only leaves your channel logo on YouTube. Downloading through a certain third-party software, you can steal the original videos. Believe it or not. We find a proof anyway and the third-party software is “WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro”. This software can bypass YouTube protection and download the original videos perfectly, leaving no YouTube watermark.
