According to YouTube's official help guide, notes can be submitted 'to inform others about videos that you believe to be inaccurate or unclear. These notes can help inform others about videos that are parodies or provide corrective information to videos where old footage is mistakenly portrayed as a current event.'
To add a note, tap 'Add Note' under the video, enter the information, and tap the 'Send' button. The submitted note will be reviewed by other users, and if it is rated 'useful' by many people from a wide range of perspectives, it may be made public and displayed under the video. Note creators will be anonymous.
Only YouTube channel owners who have been creating their channel for at least six months can write notes, and at the time of writing, only users living in the United States can write notes. Eligible users will receive an invitation. The notes will be reviewed by humans,
This mechanism is almost the same as X's Community Notes, which is also an annotation function that appears directly under a post when it is rated as 'useful' by multiple users with different perspectives.
According to YouTube, notes should always be written in your own words and add clear and useful context, rather than copying text directly from a source. Tips for writing useful notes include citing sources that support your claims, using easy-to-understand language, using neutral language, and avoiding opinion statements.
