“Test & Compare” is a new feature that lets you choose up to 3 video thumbnails to test with viewers to help pick your winner! 🥳Let us know what you think👇And check out this article for more info: support.google.com/youtube/answer/13861714
Good! Now something else can do the choosing for me. As a blind dude, I’ve never been able to see any of the thumbs my artists create for me so I’m often choosing on what’s been described to me. This will be a MUCH better way to pick.
Please activate this feature for MFK channels ASAP. As I mentioned to Ebi Atawodi at VIDCON in LA last week, there doesn't appear to be a strong reason to withhold this feature from us as it's not an audience interactivity, and it could be really helpful. Thanks :)
I am a small channel but I noticed while watching your videos were made by professional video editors, I enjoy watching it how editing happened. By the way thank you so much RUclips Creators for your update.

thats why it gives you watch time rather than CTR. CTR means nothing when the Reach is higher. The higher the Reach, the lower teh CTR but the audience satisfaction should be the balance.
새로운 기능을 통해 최고의 미리보기 이미지를 시청자와 함께 선택할 수 있다니 정말 흥미롭네요! 🎉 하지만 우승자가 세 개 중 가장 낮은 클릭률을 가질 가능성도 있겠군요. 테스트가 완료되면 RUclips Studio에서 클릭률 값을 모두 표시해주는 것이 중요하겠어요. 이렇게 하면 더 정확한 데이터를 바탕으로 최적의 선택을 할 수 있을 테니까요. 🌟 여러분 모두 행복한 유튜브 생활을 즐기시길 바랍니다! 💖📹
@@TheIndigoEscape And what about if you have a thumbnail with a playback time of 10 minutes and CTR 4% but another one with a playback time of 8 minutes and CTR 15%? This system will always stick with the first and perhaps the second is better for us.
@@dalsifilms On the question mark it says: "By selecting based on watch time share, the winning thumbnail is the one that gets viewers to both click and stay to watch. Additionally, RUclips’s search and discovery systems consider both when ranking videos." So it counts both CTR and watch time. Whatever makes the video satisfaction higher by adding both metrics, gets you a winning thumbnail. I understand what you are saying though. It should count percentage viewed of a video as well.
I just got this today! I immediately put a few hours into setting this up for every single video on my channel. I've been doing this manually on my own before now - automating it like this makes everything so much easier.
We prefer this function to be used as a test for CTR and not for watch time. Measuring watch time is equivalent to the question "Does this thumbnail congruent with what's going on in the video or it is a clickbait?" as a creator, I rather know if my Thumbnail is attracting the audience on the homepage or the suggestion column. and the way it is done right now is not answering this problem.
Well, I honestly would like RUclips to allow us to choose one thumbnail for each language the video is available to be watched in. I've gotten videos with subtitles but the same thumbnail. It does not work, unless you don´t write anything in the thumbnail.
Great ! Previously, that feature was A/B Testing and had to be used for a paid version on another application. Now RUclips is available. Thank you RUclips development team!
Request for Copyright Sticke Retraction Dear Sir, I am sorry for uploading this video on RUclips. I assure you that I will never upload your videos again on my You Tube Channel. It's my mistake that I uploaded your video on my channel for I am really apologize, I request you to retract th claim. I shell be very grateful to you. I have recorded and acknowledged that 24/7/2024 is the most painful day for me. RUclips Team, Innocent channels Channels that do not violate the rules Wasn't it a very unfair act to destroy the ban? Not even 1 channel I channal 3 now, why did I destroy it? Have you looked into other channels? Is there still kindness and love? Making a very cruel and unjust decision Isn't putting greed, anger, ignorance, and pride at the forefront without sympathy is the work of the poor and cruel animals? Is it the same with Min Aung Hlaing's military dictatorship in Myanmar? I think that unfair policies should not be used, In the future too, because of unfair and useless decisions, Because of the sudden decisions It is true that the You Tube Team will also lose. I'm asking you to reopen the innocent Min Han 02 Channel and M.H Reaction Channel.
It's great to get the watchtime from the test, and I understand why this is what you focused on. Still, I would love to also see the CTR for each thumbnail. Sometimes you want to test very similar thumbnails, that won't affect the watchtime, but definetly the CTR.
I am a small channel for sharing music and I look forward to using this feature. I enjoy watching it how editing happened. By the way thank you so much RUclips Creators for your update.
I love it! However, I feel that using watch time isn't the best way to determine the best thumbnail. In tests, the watch time results almost ALWAYS come out within 1% of each other. Why not evaluate based on click-through rate instead? CTR is the metric I need to choose a thumbnail. If you don’t want thumbnails to be chosen solely based on this, at least give us the metric. That way we can manually change it if we want to :)
Unfortunately just another feature to make large channels even larger. With my thumbnails, there are no results because YT doesn't show my videos anyway. Even if you search for the title.
This is such an amazing tool. Unfortunately, I feel like the technology is completely wasted on my channel. Watch time is not a problem for me. The watch time in the test almost ALWAYS comes out within 1% of each other. PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU! PLEASE allow us the option of choosing test results based on CLICK THROUGH RATE! This is the metric that I need to choose a thumbnail. If you don't want the thumbnail to be chosen because of that, please at least give us that metric. That way we can manually change it if we want to. Thank you for considering this. I know I can't be the only one who wants to determine a thumbnail based on CTR, not WT.
I used to spend hours deciding on a single thumbnail for my early videos, which was such a time drain. Now, it's so much easier and more efficient. I'm really enjoying RUclips's new "Thumbnail Test & Compare" feature! Thanks, RUclips!
This is very cool indeed! I just generated 3 thumbnails for this Saturday's video on Darth Vader vs Yoda. I took all the advice in this video under consideration and really leaned heavy into highlighting differing contrasts. This is going to be a fun experiment! Thanks for selecting me for this feature test run, RUclips! EDIT UPDATE: I just uploaded the results from the experiment on my channel so check it out if you'd like.

Yes. Showing off hotels and food on my channel, this features is really helping me take the guesswork out of thumbnails. I have seen a significant increase since starting views on my channel.
However, I always use the "Auto-Generated" option, so I have a request or suggestion: 1. I would like that when you show me the 3 options, the photos are larger, so that it can be seen better and thus choose the best one. 2. Sometimes none of the 3 options are the best, so I would like there to be a button that when pressed gives me 3 new options.

Have you discovered which types of thumbnails do better?
This is something Netflix does and I have been HOPING youtube would do this. It is a good thing to see what viewers react to
This has been so much needed on RUclips.

I am sorry for uploading this video on RUclips.
I assure you that I will never upload your videos again on my You Tube Channel.

RUclips Team,
Innocent channels
Channels that do not violate the rules
Wasn't it a very unfair act to destroy the ban?
Not even 1 channel
I channal 3 now, why did I destroy it?
Have you looked into other channels?
Is there still kindness and love?
Making a very cruel and unjust decision
Isn't putting greed, anger, ignorance, and pride at the forefront without sympathy is the work of the poor and cruel animals?
Is it the same with Min Aung Hlaing's military dictatorship in Myanmar?
I think that unfair policies should not be used,
In the future too, because of unfair and useless decisions,
Because of the sudden decisions
It is true that the You Tube Team will also lose.
I'm asking you to reopen the innocent Min Han 02 Channel and M.H Reaction Channel.
This is great, thank you for explaining it all!
