New channels should still build an end screen, even with only a few videos. Link your single best related upload and lean on the subscribe element, which matters most when your library is small.
An empty ending wastes the one moment every viewer reaches.
With three videos, you already have something to link. Pair whichever two share a topic and send viewers between them. Small channels often have tighter niches, which makes the fit easier to get right.
If you truly have one video, point the end screen at your channel page. It is a weaker pull than a specific upload, but it beats a dead end.
On a new channel, the subscribe element does the heavy lifting. A viewer who just enjoyed one of your first videos is the warmest audience you will get, and there is no backlog to keep them busy.
Ask in the script too. The end screen reminds, but a spoken reason to subscribe lands harder than a button alone.
