YouTube Custom Thumbnail Changing Help

[Kelkschiz]

Hey man heres a fix, follow these steps and it'll work!

1) Go to "edit" on your video.
2) Upload the custom thumbnail.
3) Hit "SAVE CHANGES"
NOW IS THE IMPORTANT PART
4) Go to "Enhancements" at the top, next to "info and settings"
5) Hit "Save"
This for some reason gets around the bug!
Let me know you how get on!

When you do that, will it actually try to 'improve' the video as well?

NOPE
As long as you don't change anything! Just go onto the "Enhancements" page and hit "Save" straight away.

Hey I just tried that now, I had high hopes but sadly it hasn't fixed my problem Thanks for the suggestion though it's appreciated

I didn't choose any settings so I'm hoping it hasn't changed my video in any way.

 

[Kelkschiz]

Same here, didn't work, and it sounded so nice...

If you leave the settings alone when you follow those steps it doesn't change the video (I was relieved to see! haha)

It's good to know I'm not the only one with that problem hahaha but it fixes itself in time.

Yeah it's always a comfort isn't it when you find someone else who is experiencing the same issue haha - And when you say 'in time' roughly how long are we talking? haha thanks for replying btw

To me, it wasn't more than a day or two. But at first it's awful, a few times I just forgot to upload a custom thumnail, and couldn't change it right away. The nerve.
