Video Thumbnail Won't Change

Those thumbnails exist on many servers and have to be rolled out to each one. Sometimes you see your new one, but in a later search you see the old one appear again. Changing the thumbnail after rolling out a video will take a very long time.
 
I've found that sometimes if you upload your custom thumbnail again (even if it is shown to be uploaded in the info and settings page), then it appears.
 
Youtube takes a while to update channel art, thumbnails and sometimes videos.
So just wait a couple days and it will eventually update! :)
 
Youtube could be painful to use sometimes. I just recently changed one of my thumbnails as well and it took a week for it to completely update. Some days it would show as updated, other days it wouldn'. Some days it would only show as updated in the creator studio on youtube, but not if I searched my channel up and looked at it through there. Any ways, the point is give it time, youtube could be crazy sometimes lol
