About the YouTube Join Square animation

Channel memberships are a harder ask than a subscription, and the row of existing members is the argument. Set the member count to your real figure. The row slides half a pitch left as the new face lands, so the group stays centred rather than drifting.

Where it fits

  • As a square post asking for channel memberships, with the member row as the argument.
  • In a perks video, as the end card.
  • In a membership drive, one export per milestone.

Filling it in

Set the member count to your real figure, written as YouTube shows it. The two labels are JOIN and MEMBER. The row of existing faces slides half a pitch left as the new one lands, so the group stays centred. The button colour is red by default.

Format and timing

YouTube Join Square 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.

Questions about YouTube Join Square

Why show other members' faces?

Because a membership is a harder ask than a subscription, and the row of people who already did it is the case. One more face landing on it is the press.

Are the faces real people?

No. They are drawn tone plates that read as avatars at a glance, so no real person is implied. The count is the real figure.
