**Do you have a YouTube channel?** Are you looking to collect emails from people who view your videos on YouTube? *(9 out of 10 smart people say “yes!”)* Most video creators like the idea of having a **prompt to join their fan list** as a part of their videos but you don’t want to go and add extra frames to each one, since this can be a big hassle with a lot of videos. Well, don’t sweat it! We have awesome news: **YouTube just introduced intros and outros for video playlists**.

Instead of editing each of your videos, you can now **easily insert short webcam clips or text-and-audio pieces** in-between each video in the playlist.

Try adding a 5-10 second introduction (or interstitial) prompting viewers to **join your fan list on your [Fan Action Page](http://www.fanbridge.com/blog/new-fan-action-pages?utm%5Fsource=blog&utm%5Fmedium=link&utm%5Fcampaign=youtubeintros&src=socm%5Fblog)**. Or, **record a personal outro** thanking fans for watching the playlist and suggesting they signup for your fan list for **updates on when you have new videos**.

Adding a YouTube introduction is **easy**. Open your video manager and click playlists on the sidebar. Then, hover over the video that needs the intro/outro. An “Introduction” button will appear.

Choose whether you’d like to add a webcam or text-and-audio clip. Text can only be two lines, so keep it short and direct, like in our example:
