A YouTube subscribe button held down for a full second before it commits.
Hold To Subscribe is the deliberate version of the most reflexive tap on the internet. Use it where you want the ask to carry some weight, on a channel trailer or a hundredth video. The bell appears with the subscribed state, so it doubles as a notification prompt.
Your channel name, then HOLD TO SUBSCRIBE and SUBSCRIBED as the two states. The hold runs a full second before it commits, so give it room. The bell appears with the subscribed state, so this also works as a notification prompt without a second card.
YouTube Hold To Subscribe is built at 1080 × 1080, a square frame, which sits in a feed post without cropping and centres neatly over wider footage, and runs 4 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 0.9 seconds, holds for 1.9 and clears in 1.2, so cue it a beat before the moment it labels. Export it as an MP4 for a timeline or a feed, a GIF where video will not embed, or a MOV with an alpha channel to lay it over footage with nothing behind it. Renders go up to 4K, and the free plan exports at 720p with a watermark.
No. It arrives with the subscribed state as part of the same gesture, so the card reads as subscribe and notifications in one hold. There is no separate bell tap.
For a quick mid-video prompt. The hold is for a moment with weight, a trailer or a milestone, where a reflexive tap would feel too light.
