How to Make a YouTube End Screen Gizmo

James Gurney presents a behind-the-scenes build for a reusable gizmo that makes the last 20 seconds of a YouTube video more interesting and encourages viewers to click end-screen links. He says the device is cheap, easy to build, and customizable to the style of a channel.
