Use VideoAnt to add annotations, or comments, to web-hosted videos. It supports annotation of any publicly accessible video file or YouTube video. VideoAnt-annotated videos are called “Ants”. Create a user account to create and save collections of Ants. Authenticated users can manage their Ants from their account dashboard, otherwise known as their “Ant Farm”.
Once signed in, click on 'New Ant' on your dashboard to start creating a new annotated video. You can upload videos from YouTube using their URLs or you can use a direct link to a video file on the web. Alternatively, you can share Ants with groups of users.
