With this upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/youtube-marketing\/how-to-create-youtube-thumbnails\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube thumbnail<\/a> news, you, as a YouTuber, will now be able to add three separate thumbnails for one video. Since it&#8217;s an early testing phase, YouTube is calling this feature <strong>&#8220;test &amp; compare.&#8221;<\/strong> With this update of YouTube thumbnail AB testing, these thumbnails will be shown to a rough number of users across YouTube. With this, you will be able to find out which one out of the three has driven more clicks on your YouTube video. Through YouTube thumbnail split testing, once you know the thumbnail that winning more hearts, you can switch to that thumbnail permanently.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, YouTube is experimenting with the test &amp; compare multiple thumbnails for YouTube with a few hundred creators. They plan to expand the new YouTube thumbnail feature to a few thousand creators.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19434 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/multiple-thumbnails-for-YT-video.jpg\" alt=\"multiple thumbnails for YT video\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/multiple-thumbnails-for-YT-video.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/multiple-thumbnails-for-YT-video-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.veefly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/multiple-thumbnails-for-YT-video-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But we cannot expect the full multiple thumbnail for YouTube rollout anytime soon.
