Hi, I need to add links to the bottom of an YouTube video, like this Ben Stiller video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDN08JwNEfc
Here is a video of a guy teaching how to add little baloons to an YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5otjHuOkVM. But he also says you cannot link outside of YouTube. The links created with this tool can only lead users to other YouTube videos.
Question: how can I add functionality similar to Ben Stiller's videos with links that lead users outside YouTube to something like a donation website?

You might be able to get similar functionality using annotations;

Hope this helps.
musicfreak : From the page you linked to: "linking is restricted to certain pages on youtube.com."From Whitingx -
it's to do with the type of video you describe it as - changing it to educational/tutorial for example will allow clickable links in the description
From rutherford -
Linking to external websites, or a Call-to-Action overlay, through annotations is available to partners in the Nonprofit program as well as advertisers and partners with promoted videos.
The Case Foundation show an example of this in a video, How to Use New YouTube Annotations for Nonprofit Partners.
Apart from that, you can still edit the description field to include the link to your site.
