Not sure which thumbnail to use for your next video? Try The new YouTube Test and Compare tool (aka Thumbnail A/B Testing) that lets you choose up to 3 video thumbnails to test with viewers and help you pick a winner.

At the time of publishing this video, YouTube has officially rolled out this feature to every creator :)

A FEW MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:

• You can always stop a test at any point to view the results from the available data and manually select one of the thumbnails.

• YouTube will maintain a small percentage of traffic as a control group of viewers who are excluded from the experiment. The control group will only see the default thumbnail. The video performance from the control group is excluded from the experiment calculations.

Hey ADARSH it’s Kunal again…still a consistent viewer ❤️ Recently a problem came into light, my YouTube videos that I uploaded are missing 480 and 240 pixel option. Inspite of seeing so many videos to get rid of this problem and using different phones, gmail accounts still I’m stuck.
I really need a solution for this issue and I’m waiting for your Response.
Please!
