Good news for YouTube video uploaders!

Video streaming platform YouTube is preparing to solve a major problem for its users soon.

According to a report, YouTube is going to introduce a new ‘Thumbnail Test and Compare’ feature for all its channels in a few weeks.

It added the feature will allow creators to use up to three different thumbnails in any of their videos, allowing them to determine which thumbnail performs best. Thumbnail Test and Compare’ feature will offer creators the option to upload multiple thumbnails when posting a new video.

The video streaming platform will show different thumbnails to different viewers during the season. Later after a reasonable amount of data has been collected (which should take approximately two weeks) YouTube will analyze which thumbnail had the highest ‘watch time share’. After which one of three results will be declared for the thumbnail.

Winner: Clearly the winning thumbnail that will beat everyone in terms of watch time.

Preferred: A thumbnail that may have performed better than others, but statistically, the results will be less conclusive.

None: No thumbnail will be declared a winner.

Note that the thumbnails that failed the test will only be manually applied to the selected video by users.
