Built with ❤️ for coaches, teachers, and content creators worldwide.

Draw on YouTube videos like a coach on a whiteboard.

My Annotator helps you turn video into clear visual feedback. Open a video from your browser, send it into the annotation workspace, and draw arrows, circles, highlights, and freehand notes directly on top of the action.

It is built for coaches, teachers, analysts, and creators who need to explain ideas visually instead of relying on text alone.

WHY PEOPLE USE MY ANNOTATOR

Video is easier to understand when feedback is visible.

Instead of writing “look at the space here” or “make this run earlier,” you can show it directly on the frame with clean visual markup tied to the video timeline.

Use My Annotator to:
• explain tactics and player movement
• highlight spacing, positioning, and decision-making
• teach from YouTube or other supported video links
• review key moments more clearly
• create visual feedback that is easier to share and understand

GREAT FOR

• Football and soccer coaches
• Basketball coaches
• Teachers and tutors
• Sports analysts
• Content creators
• Students and visual learners

HOW IT WORKS

1. Open a supported video page
2. Launch My Annotator from the extension

You can also paste a supported video URL directly into the extension popup.

WHAT MAKES IT USEFUL
