Create a channel trailer for new viewers

30/11/2019

You can have a video trailer show to all unsubscribed visitors to your channel. Your channel trailer is like a movie trailer - use it as a way to offer a preview of your channel's offerings so viewers will want to subscribe. 

By default, ads won't appear when the trailer is playing on the channel page in the trailer spot (unless the video you've chosen contains third-party claimed content). This helps keep the user focused on learning about and subscribing to your channel. If the viewer is already subscribed to your channel, they'll see a video under "What to Watch Next" instead.
