YouTube tests a feature for creators to choose the best thumbnail

YouTube is testing a new feature called “Test & Compare” that aims to simplify the process of selecting the most effective thumbnail for your YouTube video. This feature allows creators to upload three different thumbnails for a single video and allows YouTube to conduct behind-the-scenes experiments to determine which one performs the best.

The feature is under testing with a select group of creators. Currently, only a few hundred have access to this feature, but YouTube plans to release a beta version to thousands more in the coming months. The full launch will take place next year.
