You can add a logo or use a subtitle if you just need text. Various ways to do this. Depends somewhat what format you are using and what editor you have available. If just text, you might look in our Subtitle Forum. There are several subtitle formats that may do what you want. Most require you re-encode the video to be able to add text or logos.

For logos, you could look at this guide. https://www.videohelp.com/guides/put-a-custom-watermark-on-your-video-id714#714 Others guides are available.
Adding text to a particular part of the screen is similar.

And welcome to our forums.

You can add annotations to your YouTube videos without defacing them with hardcoded text.
