Small images or thumbnails are important to attract the attention of users to watch videos on YouTube. So far it has only been given to long videos but YouTube will give it to Shorts videos as well in the near future.
Through the addition of this latest feature, users can add text, video filters and emojis to the thumbnails according to the creativity on the pictures that can be selected through their own videos. This feature will be available for all Android as well as iOS users making it easier to access.
The introduction of a feature like this is a positive step from YouTube to support content creators by giving them more control over the content they want to share. It is hoped to encourage the growth of the Shorts ecosystem and improve the quality of content available on the YouTube platform. This feature as usual will be provided to all users in stages through the latest updates.
