What you can do

Make YouTube content two-way

Annoto layers straight onto embedded YouTube players, so open content becomes a place to participate.

Discussions in the moment

Learners comment, ask, and reply at the exact second of a YouTube video instead of scrolling a comments feed.

In-video quizzes & assessment

Add questions, reflection points, and knowledge checks onto the timeline and see who answered.

Engagement analytics

Attention, comprehension, and completion for every YouTube video, per student and per cohort.

Add Annoto to your YouTube embeds in minutes

1

Embed as usual

Keep embedding YouTube the way you already do. Annoto attaches to the player automatically.

No re-uploading

Use any public or unlisted YouTube video. Nothing to migrate or re-host.

3

Watch engagement grow

Students discuss, answer, and take notes in-video while you track participation in the dashboard.

Built for the video platform you already run on

Annoto lives inside the YouTube player, in your LMS or on any site. No new player, no migration, no change to how you already teach.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to change my LMS or move my videos off YouTube to use Annoto?
No. Annoto layers on top of the embedded YouTube player, so you keep hosting on YouTube and add interactivity without any migration or player swap.
Does Annoto work with the YouTube videos I already have?
Yes. Annoto attaches to your existing YouTube videos wherever they are embedded, so there is nothing to re-upload or re-encode.
How do grades and completion get back to my gradebook?
Annoto tracks viewing and engagement on each YouTube video and syncs completion and grades to your LMS gradebook over the LTI connection.
Is YouTube with Annoto secure and accessible?
Yes. Annoto is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and supports FERPA, GDPR and DPA requirements, and the interface meets WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards.
