To put a video on your YouTube channel's front page, which is also known as your channel homepage, you need to feature a specific video. This allows visitors to see a highlighted video when they first land on your channel.
Here's how you can feature a video on your YouTube channel homepage based on the provided reference:
Steps to Feature a Video
The process involves selecting the video you want to highlight for your channel visitors. Follow these steps:
- Navigate to your YouTube channel page.
- Locate the section where the featured video is displayed or where you can add one.
- Look for options associated with the current featured video or the featured video section.
- Click the three dots that says options.
- Click change video.
- You can select a video from your channel.
- Or you can select any video that's on YouTube.
Once you select the desired video, it will be set as the featured video on your channel homepage.
Types of Featured Videos
On your channel homepage, you can typically set two types of featured videos:
- Channel Trailer: A short trailer for non-subscribers, introducing them to your channel.
- Featured Video for Returning Subscribers: A specific video you want subscribers to see when they return.
The process described above, particularly the ability to select any video on YouTube, often refers to setting a specific video within a section of your channel homepage layout, or potentially the channel trailer/featured video.
By featuring a video, you guide your channel visitors towards content you want to prioritize, whether it's a channel introduction, your latest upload, or a popular video.
