Old annotations in video are gone
Hello there folks,
today I went to rewatch my private video that I have in my channel from a long time ago and I noticed that all embeded annotations that I added to certain moments of the video are totally GONE! (I assume they have removed this feature or something, I do not upload videos anymore) And they were completely priceles!!
Is there a way to recover them so I can just add them to the video file?

Hi chuawfwf.
The annotations editor was discontinued back in 2017, and all anotations were deleted at the beginning of 2019. Unfortunately, there's no way to recover them :(

Manny M incorrect, how you got a gold product expert tag, let alone silver, is beyond me when you don't even have basic knowledge of things on YT.
Even though annotations were removed a long time ago, videos that had annotations on them retained them, but no new ones could be made. Don't believe me go a and watch a "Timeline" video you will see annotations on them y the handful. There is a reason the annotations switch is still in the cog list on videos that have the.

Hello there, Dermacrosis.
That channel could be an exception (maybe because of the great amount of educational/documentary content in it, I couldn't see any annotations), but for regular user accounts the annotations are gone for good, which is the case for chuawfwf is this thread.

They discontinued the editor and the ability to add annotations. They have not however removed pre-existing annotations, those have been grandfathered on the web. That channel is not an exemption I have had to disable annotations on a number of channels and videos, though all were before they removed the editor.
Posting help articles only when you have no practical experience is not a good idea, the help articles are not gospel as they are not kept as up to date as you think, and they often have get outs that you need to know how to read. Theoretical knowledge is fine but if that is the only reason you have gotten the tag then it brings the whole thing into disrepute. Though YT has helped to make it mean less as now you apply for it when in the past they invited you.
PS: You can not claim to be a product expert until I have taken you to task atleast once, just ask all the other product experts on this matter in the private forum you likely have access to. I am the trial by fire.

@Dermacrosis Yesterday I checked the video with the editor and I couldn't find the annotations. Are you sure about this? The annotations are gone everywhere.
