Google-owned YouTube is testing a new feature for content creators that lets them upload and select from multiple thumbnails to add to videos, Android Police reports. The change is intended to allow content creators to figure out which thumbnails work best for their videos.
\nMore specifically which thumbnails engage the viewer more by getting them to click. YouTube is calling this new feature Test & Compare. And has given a breakdown of how it works in a video on the company\u2019s Creator Insider channel.
\nCreators upload three thumbnails with a video, then after a certain period of time they can choose a \u201cwinning thumbnail\u201d to use as the permanent one. Inside of YouTube Studio creators can see which out of the three performed the best. This is based on the highest percentage of watch time. Creators will then be able to choose the winner. They can also choose to do a new test if they feel it\u2019s needed. The feature is already out in the wild. As YouTube confirms it\u2019s been testing it with a small number of creators over the past few months.
\nYouTube plans to roll out its thumbnails testing to more creators soon
\nThe testing pools is small now, but it won\u2019t be that way for much longer. YouTube says that in the coming months, a few thousand creators will get access to a beta version of this feature.
\nThere\u2019s no timeline here, so \u201cthe coming months\u201d is a pretty broad window. But since it\u2019s a beta YouTube is more than likely handpicking creators to add to the testing. So when does everyone get access? YouTube says it\u2019s looking to roll this out more broadly sometime next year. Which means it won\u2019t be available to a much wider audience for quite some time. YouTube does acknowledge though that this is been a top-requested feature so it wanted to let creators know that it\u2019s being worked on.<\/p>\n
