I have change my video thumbnail, but it's not showing up? How long does it usually show? I been waiting for 1 hour now, seriously, it can't take that long to change a little thumbnail right? Can you guys help me and test it on one of your videos? Really appreciated :D
 
Mine show up right away, but I upload it with my videos, not change it later. Maybe that's the issue?
 
It updates immediately if you upload a custom thumbnail during the upload process, changing it after that it can take a while longer, I have had two day waits for the thumbnails to update on a few of my videos. The best thing anyone can do is upload it when its uploading. If you arent talking about custom thumbnails the change will probably be the same as when you dont upload a custom thumbnail whilst uploading. Hopefully it wont take too long for you :)

Waaaaw how do i change while im uploading? Sorry im really new to YouTube :D

I forgot to mention. The thumbnail is custom and it's not taken from the video itself.[DOUBLEPOST=1384393792,1384390090][/DOUBLEPOST]Anyone?
 
To change it while uploading scroll to the bottom and you will see this:

Video thumbnails

Thumbnail selections will appear when the video has finished processing.

And a grey/silver button to the right which says Custom Thumbnail, you click the button and choose the image and it will upload along with your video and then when everything is saved it usually will be the correct one right away :)
