How to add a subscribe button to YouTube videos

Embedding a YouTube subscribe button, also called a watermark in your videos, can increase the likelihood of someone subscribing to your channel. The following steps walk you through how to add a subscribe button to all your uploaded videos and shorts.

Steps to add a subscribe button to all uploaded videos

1. You need to create a subscribe image or find a copyright-free picture of a subscribe button from the Internet. Save that image as a .png or .gif, resize it to 150 x 150 pixels or less, and make sure it's 1 MB or less in size. Or, feel free to use the Computer Hope Subscribe button shown to the right.
