A YouTube end screen (sometimes referred to as an outro or end card) is the final section of a YouTube video, between 5 and 20 seconds long, where creators can add different calls to action, links to videos or playlists, and encourage viewers to subscribe.
Creating a specific YouTube end card that’s designed to make the most of all YouTube’s end screen options can lead to increased watch time on your videos, which improves your standing with the YouTube algorithm and get your videos shown more in search.
