Well done mate. I love it when people say it cant be done and then someone proves them wrong. Absolute champion. Like the person below i have been trying to do this for a while now. I gave you a like and a sub!
Been uploading Shorts for like a year and didn't know realize that you could change thumbnails later uploading by going into the UA-cam app (was going into the UA-cam Studio app and the feature wasn't available), just saw this trying to figure out how to change the thumbnail on my first over 60 second Short (just uploaded it a minutes ago lol), thanks for the tutorial it's much appreciated!
4 day old UA-camr here! Just when I thought Nicol Bolas was the only one with the power to reshape thumbnails...then I found your video 🤣 Much appreciated, and subbed😎
Thank you. I Managed to do this a few days ago, then promptly forgot by the time I went to change a thumbnail again tonight. Your video reminded me how to do it.
Thank you very much! I'd also lost time trying to make sense of the instructions UA-cam provided. Really appreciate you sharing the results of all your efforts.
i genuinely want to thank you bro, most other people just dont know and sharing the ways to change the thumbnail when uploading and not after that, so yes THANKS ALOT!
Awesome! Thanks so much for posting this. I was searching as well and had followed everything to the letter that you did before looking online. It is so great that you made this video even though your channel is for gaming. Great detail btw as well. Really appreciate that.
@@highpoweredhobby I didn't come to your channel for gaming, but I am curious about games like magic since I never played when I was younger. I'm building a game in unreal engine and am gonna subscribe to your channel to see more about how to craft a great story. I bet if I understand more about these tabletop games, I can be a better storyteller. Thanks!
In pursuit of trying to learn how to choose a thumbnail while posting a short. I actually learned something new and was able to change the thumbnail of previous short I had posted months ago. This is super helpful and Thanks a lot! for posting/sharing it with everyone!
Ok I clicked on my video like you said. Nothing happened it went into my video. Finally I tried to click on the right side that had name of video and it worked. Thank you very much.
new subscriber here❤Thank you so much Sir❤😻😺❤️I was able to change the thumbnails for my cat videos❤❤❤🐾🐾🐾more power to your channel❤🎉🎉🎉🎉GOD BLESS US ALL❤️🙏😇
Every time I read "You can change the thumbnail on the UA-cam mobile app" in Desktop Studio I, for some strange reason, jumped to UA-cam Studio app on my phone. With no luck of course. This video helped me with my reading comprehension! 😁
Thank you so much. I upload from my laptop, and this was an awesome video. UA-cam picked a terrible point of my video for the thumbnail and i was able to pick the best moment. Thank you so much
Thank you, thank, you, thank you! I have been searching everywhere online and you are the only one who came up with a solution. Your help is appreciated more than you can imagine!
You are very welcome. This is exactly why I made this video in the first place. To help people like you and myself too. I couldn't find anything helpful online either.
Awesome! Like you, I have spent hours going thru Google and YT videos trying to solve this! Thank you so much! you got my subscription for being helpful!
I think why it worked is that you used a short that was uploaded as a video in the video section. You did not select a short from the short section - what about short in the short section?
It's the exact same. For whatever reason, my shorts show up in both the video section and the shorts section. 1) Open regular youtube app 2) Click on your account 3) Click your videos 4) Click shorts section 5) Find short you wish to edit 6) Click the 3 dots 7) Click edit 8) Click pencil icon on thumbnail 9) Select frame you want as a thumbnail 10) Click save Rinse and repeat 👍
@highpoweredhobby I had a custom thumbnail at the beginning of one of my shorts and of course it did choose that. So now I was able to change it. Again thanks. With my other shorts, I was able to add text to make those somewhat of a thumbnail, which I didn't know you could add through the same app. Appreciate the research. I couldn't for the life of me figure that out even though I am a tech guy.
Awesome Video! At first, I thought they must’ve updated it but of course it was my mess up. I was in the YT Studio app, and not the regular UA-cam app like you’re supposed to be. Thanks so much, man!!!
Oh I agree with you 100% on this! Why is it hidden on the UA-cam mobile and not in UA-cam studio??? Furthermore, why is this option not in the desktop version of studio as well??? It took me DAYS to find this, thank you for making this video to let others know! Just another one of those things that DOES NOT MAKE SENSE, with UA-cam!
You'll also want to put the thumbnail frame at the END of your short. You could at the beginning, but you gotta get right to the point. Thank for this my friend. It's astonishing to me that: 1. You can't do this on desktop. 2. You can't upload a thumbnail proper. 3. You can't even use the UA-cam STUDIO app to do this on your phone. We all know that UA-cam's pushing shorts because of TikTok and Instagram's engagement due to the "doom-scrolling" effect of this content. In computers you can harvest more data when the subject is interacting with a lot of short-form content of differing topics/nature. Google/UA-cam have more developers and resources than any of their competition, and they've placed this feature out of reach of creators for a reason I cannot yet understand.
Thank you so much I really appreciate this video you recorded. Also thank you for the added info about customising the thumbnail. Extremely helpful. Thank you :)
Thank you for making this video. I was trying to change it in UA-cam Studio on my phone and could not find it. I watched other videos and they didn't help. But you make it clear how to do it from the regular UA-cam app.
I can't say for sure. A few others have had the same issue. Most of them apple users. Or trying on a tablet. For most of them, updating their app did the trick. If you're on an iPad, I'm definitely not sure.
Oh my - thank you - I have spent hours trying to work out how to do this - no help anywhere - you are a god send !!! THANKS
Oh wow. That's high praise. Thank you so much. I'm just glad I could help.
Yes, me too.
Thank you! This is WILD. YT always chooses the most unflattering thumbnail possible. It's like DMV.
Haha, that's so accurate 🤣
Big help my friend, you actually helped me out a lot with this, so basic, yet so complex. :) Appreciate it!
You're welcome. Yeah, they made it way harder than it needed to be.
OMG best video ever! Thank you so much!
Glad you liked it! Happy to help :)
You are heaven sent Sir! Thank you! We're just a small and new content creator and we're having issues with our thumbnails. Thank you and more power!
I'm glad I could help. Happy creating 😄

Thanks! I do not understand why YT made such a strange way to edit thumbnails for shorts. I remember they had this option in YT studio but removed it.
You're welcome. I'm glad I could help 😊 And yeah, it's really weird.
Great tip. Very helpful!

It's the exact same. For whatever reason, my shorts show up in both the video section and the shorts section.
1) Open regular youtube app
2) Click on your account
3) Click your videos
4) Click shorts section
5) Find short you wish to edit
6) Click the 3 dots
7) Click edit
8) Click pencil icon on thumbnail
9) Select frame you want as a thumbnail
10) Click save
Rinse and repeat

Happy to help.
Thank you! I watched so many videos that said I was too late!
You're welcome. I was literally in the same spot before I figured this out.
Thanks for the information! Weird that’s it’s done through the regular UA-cam app though and not studio.
You're welcome! Yeah it's totally weird.
Thank so much,Sir. You solved our problem.
No problem at all. I'm happy I was able to help 😀
I’m not seeing a pencil icon in the app so I can’t update my thumbnails. Any idea why?
I can't say for sure. A few others have had the same issue. Most of them apple users. Or trying on a tablet. For most of them, updating their app did the trick. If you're on an iPad, I'm definitely not sure.
@ app upgrade did the trick. Thanks!
@MIGolfLive awesome!
Thank you so much, I am a small You Tube channel and still floundering with technology so badly, this worked
