How do people put links at the top of their Youtube page?

[Kelly]

I see channels on Youtube, like ShaneDawson, and Shaycarl, and I want to know: How do they code the links into their backgrounds that go to their twitters/websites and such? I can't find a place to put in a code...
I don't mean annotations in the videos. I want to know how they put the links at the tops of their HOME pages that link to their twitters and stuff.

1- log on into your youtube account.
2- in the upper right side, where your account name there, click on it and chose MY VIDEOS.
3- The list of all of you uploaded videos will come up and under each editing buttons.
4- click on the 3rd option "Annotations"
5- This is it. if you CLICK anywhere in the video now, you will get a little menu asking you to add Annotations...you can add writing....notes....or links
6- after finishing....click save and publish in the upper right menu.
Enjoy.

You have to be a YouTube "partner", which more-or-less means you are either
a film / video creator or producer, an artist (musician, singer, comedian, actor),
a media corporation, a broadcaster, an "expert", a person of huge significance
(like President Barack Obama) or somebody with a special project or mission
(like Shawn Ahmed and his Uncultured Project for the children of Bangladesh).

But that is not enough to become a "partner". YouTube has even more criteria:
-- You create your own original videos (meaning videos nobody else has done)
-- The content is 100% yours (there aren't any elements that belong to others)
-- You own all of the implied copyrights
-- You've never had a copyright warning
-- Your videos are viewed by thousands
-- You upload videos on a regular basis
-- The videos are suitable for all viewers
-- You are a resident in one of the 23 countries where YouTube has local sites
-- You can prove you are 18+ years old.

Generally, YouTube will not consider you unless you've got some combination
of "subscribers" and "videos" that when multiplied together can easily surpass
10,000 channel views. Thus you would need for example: 800 subscribers and
20 videos (each with multi-thousands of views) or maybe 500 subs and 30 vids
(likewise in the thousands) - as well as a total view count way in the 100,000s.
The only exceptions are if you're a college, university, school or real filmmaker.

Only after you have met all those conditions and been "approved" by YouTube,
they will give you all the special tools and codes which will enable you to have:
-- an 875x75px banner for your channel, 875x150 if you're "corporate" branded
-- a 360x55 banner on every video page
-- uploads that can be more than 10:59
-- your channel-page video on Autoplay
-- different video-player skins and sizes
-- unlimited choice for video thumbnails
-- extra bulletins, links, contacts boxes â—„
-- another graphic for your Connect box
-- related channels for new subscribers
-- avatar / background as animated GIF
-- the opportunity of earning ad revenue
-- always being at top of search results
-- enhanced high-quality for your videos
-- "season / episode" in video sub-titles
-- the light-bulb "watch at night" feature if your "account type" is as a "director"
-- a "More From" section which overrides the regular "Related Videos" section
and showing only your uploaded videos.

If you wish to know more, go to the top righthand corner of any YouTube page,
click "Help", and type "partner" in the searchbox. Or click on either link below:
