I don't think you have done a video about the other option.. auto generated and if there is a way of making use of it.. (maybe as a guide or idea) ie is the auto generated a random choice or does it actually analyse the video?
Just thinking if there's a point in the video that is rewatched.. could there be a potential Thumbnail.
btw Yellow? arrow might have been better on the black background.
I first found your channel in 2019 when I had almost zero subs. You helped me a lot in reaching 1M this year. Thank you!
Oh nice! Congratulations on your first million!!!! 👊🤓
@@NickNimmin why the 🤓👊 emoji?
Wow I know your channel, you are non-Chinese who speaks Chinese really well! Wow.
Definitely looking forward to this feature rolling out to my channel. Great video Nick
It's really interesting to see the results when you get it.
why I don't have it? I can just upload 1, not even test 2
THIS IS INTERESTING!!! TH-cam making positive progress
Hopefully they can add back dislikes soon
We have it! It is very interesting... Its been nice to see how people react differently to images, words, and colors.
It really is! I love just tossing in random ideas just to see if something stands out...lol.
Thank you for making video on this update. I am working on improving thumbnails of my TH-cam videos. For me, it takes a lot of time in making thumbnails. And, this feature is helpful. I will definitely try it.
Thank you. I’m looking forward to this! I usually have to decide between 2-3 thumbnails, so this will be fun to see who wins. I remember Mr. Beast said they add hair to all his thumbnails so it looks more like him when he became popular, so everyone recognizes the thumbnail.🙃 Yet, my goals are different from him, so I’m with you. Be you -not an old version of you.👍🏽
"be you, not an old version of you" - love it!
Thank you for this tutorial. I’ve been waiting for this. I hope I get the feature soon.
I hope so too!
Thanks, Nick, this was really informative. Especially the part about those slight changes, when best to test that.
So helpful as always. Good stuff. Thanks, Nick
*That's an interesting feature, many of the videos I do are of car shows and the potential to try wildly varying thumbnails will put this new feature to good test - when I get access to it. Thanks for the walk-thru.*
Great informational video, can’t wait to try this when I get access! Love that it is based on watch time vs CTR. And hey I got a cameo! 🤩😄
Sounds great! I always here from TH-cam Channel Growth videos that you should make more than one thumbnail to figure out what makes a viewer want to click. I know they already had A B testing in TubeBuddy, but I think it will be much more effective built into the video uploader. Looking forward to this change!!
Patiently waiting for this feature! I'm sure it'll be great for a lot of creators!!
Hi Nick, thank you for the info on the new feature that is coming. I will defiantly put that tool to good use. I was wondering if you have a video on when is a good time to start looking for a manager to help with brand deals. How do I find a company who is familiar with our creator industry? What should I look for in a management person/company and what should I expect to pay for the service? I have done some research and have not been able to find the information I am looking for. Thanks for any information that you can share. Love your videos they have helped my channel grow from the beginning.
I just noticed this today, let me upload 3 of them at once, first time doing it! Can't wait to see how it goes
informative news Thanks Nick.
I am so excited about this feature, waiting as patiently as I can 😂
Cool...hope I get this option soon
Super interesting! Cannot wait to start testing! ❤
finally!! I'm really looking forward to this update and cannot wait to play around with it, thanks for sharing!
👊 🤓
I'm waiting for this feature!!! Can't wait!😊
Thanks for all the tips on your channel on how to grow on TH-cam...had to restart all over again but at least am seeing some small progress
Thank you Nick. I was looking for information on this :D I can't wait til they all it on me channel. Cause thumbnails are the hardest.
Thanks again
🤓👊
Much love 💕
Very interesting great idea. Nick you're the best.
Love the in depth knowledge you share 👏🏽👏🏽
🤓👊
i dont have it and i need it soooooooo bad! CMON TH-cam SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!. Thanks Nick for your knowledge.
Hahahahahaha!
Literally today, I changed a thumbnail on my latest video that wasn't getting views, (actually, it was the 4th thumbnail that I had used), and bingo, the views started instantly. Just goes to show different thumbnails work. So this feature will be used by me all the time.
Love this, I need all the help I can get in regards to watch time.
Can't wait that it is available for everyone. Thank you for sharing how it works.
My pleasure! 🤓👊
Thanks! I just got this feature today.
you mentioned this didn't get lots of views-well NOW that it's coming out, we are here to get your wisdom!
i really cant wait for this to happen. been making multiple thumbs to get ready
Can’t wait to get this I’d love to make 3 different versions of my thumbnail Thanks.
TH-cam stepping up its game with A/B Thumbnail Testing. Excited to see how this A/B testing feature helps creators like us optimize visuals for maximum click-through rates.
Can't wait for this feature! 🔥
FYI for this video I got the ABC thumbnail 😁
Love this💯 I wonder if I can go back to old videos and add testing🤔
Yes you can.
@@NickNimmin thanks! Realized after watching the rest of your video that you implied this🙏 really appreciate you Nick! Hope all is well with you.-Patrick
Can u do an in debth video about vertical lives. How to do polls. 3rd party services. Like stream yard for multiple guest. And everthing else. Yt is pushing it
Stay tuned!
@@NickNimmin sweet thanks , qlways can count on u
Can you do this after a video is already uploaded or only at the time of upload?
Both (once you have it).
Thanks for sharing..
Nice video 👍🏻
Im so excited for this!
Just found out that I have this feature! Can't wait to use it!
Nice!!
I am anxiously awaiting it for my channel! I hope that it helps my channel and videos out i need it lol
Really cool!👍
Awesome job man 👨
Thanks! 👍
I don't have this feature yet. So I will come back later to this video when I do have the feature. If that is ok?
A great new feature. Thanks for lettings know about it and your thoughts 👍🏻
No problem 👍
Wow, this is awesome
Well done! A spam-free informative film that was genuinely useful.
Glad it was helpful!
Well, *I* like your face!! 😄This is great, thank you SO much for the in depth how to!!
Great news about thumbnail thanks
Can't wait to get this feature. Game changer!
Great information 😊
Glad you think so!
I don't have this feature yet but looks promising.
You will in the future.
Thank you
nick got the thumbnail test ab feature thankyou
Nice!
Still waiting for this to be available on my channels because i've heard about it for so long now. Hope it's soon. Beard color? :P lol Red beard
So far the beard colors are not making a difference...hahahaha
Is there a set public release date for this? Or is it gonna be rolled out at a random time
Right now, its sometime in 2024.
Any idea when this will be widely available?
Everyone is supposed to have it by the end of the year.
Good information
Is it going to be rolled out in the studio app, too, or only on desktop?
Oh I'm hoping everything now, I need this feature on studio app, I don't have desktop. I pray to god!
I’m not sure.
This looks like a cool thing, I think I can say for us all that we sometimes struggle to pick a good thumbnail
Any idea of how long this will take to roll out to all creators? Great vid!
Even TH-cam won't put a timeframe on it. For now, later in 2024.
You’re the best ❤
🤓👊
I wish they had put an A/B/C title test with the thumbnails.. 3 different title / thumbnail combinations would be way better!
Waiting
this is king!!
I’m still waiting to get this option.
Coming soon. :)
@@NickNimmin I always make 4 thumbnails per video and rotate them out once YT slows down its impression rate. If the views are decent then I keep the original.
helpful... thank you
🤓👊
So if this feature is unlocked on our channel, we will only see that option during the initial upload? Not after the videos been public for a while?
You’ll always see it.
So I understand this correctly, does this only work on new content or can I go back to previously posted content, design new thumbnails for that older content and test them out?
You can go back to old videos and use it too. All of the videos on your channel will have the option.
Have you done a video on obs using vertical live stream that gets picked up on TH-cam shorts
Not yet. A video on the vert live streaming is coming soon.
@@NickNimmin good I see other videos but think u can explain better
1:50 This option isn't there for me yet, it gives me two options, being "Change" and "Download". Until I get the "test and compare" option, no point watching past 1:50
A LOT of creators out there patiently waiting.
This is a great tool!
What do you think the minimum number of views on a video will give a valid test? For example, I only have a few videos out so far and the top 2 are 2.1k and 1.7k. Also is it worth it to spend a little time going back on some older videos or just go with the new releases?
If you’re still getting impressions on old videos then they can have tests also.
This is great but I don't see the option.
When will it fully come out?
As mentioned early in the video, it should rollout sometime later in 2024.
@@NickNimmin thanks
My current video is not showing the thumbnail to viewers.
I can see it on my end. I have changed it, made sure it was the right format and size, chosen a screenshot from YT of the video, used a different computer to upload it and it still shows a gray thumbnail with 3 dots to the viewer for the thumbnail. What would cause this?
It could just be a display glitch. although if the file size for the thumbnail was too big, it might not take - but you typically get an error message in that case. Right now, what looks like a frame from the video as your thumbnail on the most recent video.
I learned something today.
I've been waiting forever for this tool to come out. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait just a bit longer as I am not one of the 50,000. I can't wait for this to roll out to more users though.
If we do an A/B test when our video is first published, won't the fact that all our subscribed viewers are going to be served our thumbnail affect the results? If so, should we wait a couple of days (or some other time period) before initiating such a test?
Yes. Publish and test. Wait 3 days and test again. Wait 28 days and test again. You can toss one in the middle too if you want.
I need to keep up with TH-cam news, this is intresting, tho would one of the 50 thousand channels be based on subcount or just about every channel no matter what gets the feature?
They were picked based on how active and some are likely in a beta testing group as well. Big and smaller channels.
@@NickNimmin oh well in that case, looks like need to be starting my channel first video.
UPDATE: I uploaded my first video yesterday, just 52 subscribers, hopefully I get the feature.
Finally a Great Update for TH-cam Thumbnail Designers. 😂
This my first time I'm hearing of this feature!
BOOM!!!
🤓👊
Thanks!
I'm love you from Africa!
🤓 ✋
Can this be done with existing videos? or is it only for new videos? I'd love to go back and test the thumbnails on older videos
Yes, existing videos are doable.
4:59 love your beard
hey nick! when we will be able to use it as well?
TH-cam have not committed to a rollout date except to say by the end of 2024.
Muito interessante esse recurso de dublagem automática.
It sure is!
The beard is divine❤
Nick, is there ever opportunity to submit a channel to you for review?
When I do my channel review live streams over on the @TubeSpanner channel - we select channels by random draw.
Dear Nick! thanks for all your work, I was wondering if you have a specific video explaining How to bring traffic to my Long Form videos and get Subs using TH-cam Shorts?
I want to start with shorts to grow my channel
TH-cam shorts viewers are on shorts. Only the most engaged will flow through. Focus on making good content for both and you'll have crossover viewers.
Been checking almost daily for this, still nothing 😭
Hang in there!
So this is only available on computer, not mobile?
Right now, the beta is on desktop. I'm not sure what TH-cam's plans are for mobile in regards to the initial rollout.
Sucks that they gave this to the top percent of TH-camrs before everyone else. As if they need MORE help than the rest of us. Smaller channels should have gotten this first, if anything.
They have about 50,000 channels of all sizes testing it. In any case, it should start rolling out to everyone over summer.
Hey nick can I use ab testing after I upload a video??
Right now, only if your one of the 50,000 channels testing it for TH-cam. Full rollout later this year.
Hi Nick, I have a crazy question. On the first TH-cam channel, I made a mistake, I posted the same content, I was stupid, I didn't know the guidelines, and the algorithm saw me as spam. I created another channel but on the same phone and the phone number is the same verified. What do you think that wiil be a problem?
I'm not sure if that's something TH-cam looks at. The same email would be a red flag, but not sure about verified phone number.
