9. **Customize the Appearance**: Customize the appearance of your sponsored card by choosing a display time and selecting a teaser text color that stands out against the video background.

10. **Preview and Save**: Preview how the sponsored card will appear in your video and make any necessary adjustments. Once you're satisfied with the sponsored card, click "Save" to add it to your video.

Sponsored cards provide an additional opportunity to monetize your videos and provide value to your audience while generating revenue for your channel.
