Intros/Outros in videos in 2026?

Featured Replies

I noticed some people use them, others don't. It seems like it is mostly a trend that has phased out. I like the idea of making a silly/funny outro but I feel like most people would just ignore it and skip it or even find it off-putting because it isn't the norm on YouTube anymore. Should I avoid doing these in videos?

I don't watch a ton of YouTube channels or videos so I might not be the best person for this but I have noticed that most people do not do either of these anymore. Only one channel I watch does an outro and it is a comedy style channel. The outro is quick, simple, and silly. It is the same every time and just recommends other videos.

Just do what you feel best suits your content and audience. Don't worry too much about chasing trends right now because those always change. Focus on building your content and building your community around what your viewers enjoy.

This. I think it is more important to do what you enjoy and what you would watch. If you make content you'd enjoy watching, there is a good chance there are a number of people out there that would enjoy it too. If you like intros and outros, use them.

If the intro is too long, you run the risk of people leaving. The first 10 to 30 seconds are very important. You want to draw people in.

So I would say that outros are fine, even longer ones (up to 20 seconds) but you have to be careful with intros. Keep them short, very short.
