Hey Experts

Anyone can teach me how can i add a clickable link in YouTube Video? I'm referring to adding the links IN the video itself.

Also, is it possible to hyperlink with an anchor text?

Thanks in advance for your advise.

      From what I understand, if a video has an external link in it, its removed during the encoding process.

      If you want to add links to your your video, you have to pay for it. When you promote your video on youtube, you have the option to add external links to the video.

      Once the promotion stops, the links are removed - its not a permanent feature.

      If you want to look into it, its called a "CALL TO ACTION OVERLAY"

      About Call-to-Action overlays : Managing My Promotions - YouTube Help

      When users click on the overlay, they are directed to your external website as specified in the overlay's destination URL.

      There is no additional charge for this feature.

      Your Call-to-Action overlay will only remain active for the duration of your Promoted Videos campaign, it won't be a permanent feature of your video.
      In other words - you have to pay to have external links in your video. That is why youtube removes links in uploaded videos, so they can charge for the service.

    OK in the desc type in - http:// www. MYWEBSITENAME . com and it will become a hyperlink for you. Also you can use a URL shortener to cut a long domain name down to size. For example, http:// www. SUPERDUPERLONGNAME . com/ this_is_my _web_page.html down to something like http:// tr.im /super (no spaces).

    You can't add clickable links to the videos on youtube without paying but there is a place online that allows you to add it to videos on your blog.
