FTC Disclosure & YouTube Reviews
I've been reading through the guidelines, and this particular guideline regarding the placement of the disclosure makes it tricky: "... and require no scrolling or other type of user action to locate the disclosure".
I don't really want to have the disclosure IN the video itself, and apparently I can't just put the disclaimer in the video description, because the user would have to click to expand the description ("user action") to be able to see the disclaimer.
For those of you that try to follow the FTC guidelines, how do you go about it?
If I don't include any affiliate links on YouTube, but instead link to my website first (which has the disclaimer in the sidebar), would that be okay? The problem with that would be if someone watches my review video but does not visit my website, they would never know that I'm affiliated with the company I'm doing the review for.
