Uploading thumbnails to your YouTube videos is very easy. In a previous video I showed you how to make beautiful thumbnails in Canva, but once that's done, you'll want to upload them to your videos and there are 2 situations for that:

(1) When you first upload a video, it will be available near the top of the upload area.

(2) Post publishing, if you want to go into an old video and update/change and old thumbnail.

This video shows you both ways to do it and it's easy!

Hi Vitaliy,

I have two channels, and for some reason my thumbnail reads this: "You can change the thumbnail on the YouTube mobile app".

I do not have any thumbnails as of now but I am wondering if you have ever seen this or is there a way for me to fix this?

Thank you,
Mike

Yeah this is just a mobile option if you choose to do it there. I personally prefer the desktop option since there's overall more features.

I am not sure why the thumbnail button is not there. I am verified but I am not upgraded. I will just have to look into it further.

Thank you,
Mike

You don't need to be verified on the desktop area of youtube to upload thumbnails. To be honest I don't think you need to either in mobile but I'm not too familiar with that.

Thank you. Yes, the option is just not there so I will have to do some investigating to see what the problem is. I have not idea.
