[@justinuriahphoto]

I didn't know I have access to this. Thank you! I will try this soon as it looks like I have it listed in the advanced features tab. Great video. Very informative.

[@JevenDovey]

Glad it was helpful!

[@OchoVerde]

Great video, but FYI, I just looked into the advanced features settings of both my channels and "Test and Compare" is not listed.

[@JevenDovey]

Will be the next few weeks then

[@TwoFeetOutdoors]

Just posted my 1st video this evening using the Test & Compare feature. Used 3 thumbnails.

[@KBDProductionsTV]

Thanks for the info.

[@AjaySingh-228]

Thanks, bro for this informative video! I didn't know KZbin had a built-in feature for testing thumbnails. This will help my vlog channel which I am planning to start. I'm excited to see how much of a difference it makes in my audience

[@ceciledelrey3758]

I've got the advanced features on but don't have that option when I upload a new video...

[@ShtickCS]

You don't have access yet, they are slowly bringing them to creators.

[@JevenDovey]

Should have it soon. Next few weeks its rolling out to everyone

[@ceciledelrey3758]

@@JevenDovey thanks 😃

[@BugBobsWildWorld]

Didn't know about this new feature. Great explanation of it. Thank you, Jeven!

[@DannyB24]

Thanks! I'm excited to use this but I still don't have it. I checked and my advanced features are available so unless I'm missing something, hopefully I'll get access to this soon.

[@RodgersTravels]

Thank you 🙌🏻 Hope everyone in the comment section succeeds with their channels!

[@OverlandCalling]

Didn’t know about this feature. Thanks for putting out the info! You are an outstanding instructor. I have learned a lot from you over the months starting out from scratch!

[@JevenDovey]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ShtickCS]

I don't have this feature yet, is there anything I can do or just a waiting game?

[@benjhaisch]

Anyone know when this comes out for everyone?

[@JevenDovey]

Link in my pinned comment with all the info from KZbin. Next few weeks they say

[@benjhaisch]

@@JevenDovey appreciate it!

[@JevenDovey]

@@benjhaisch should get access soon!

[@Libavlogs24]

I'm very satisfy from your information on this video... I'm from India....

[@ThingsIBuy]

I can't wait to get this, thanks for the breakdown!

[@TutsNest]

Loving KZbin's new "Thumbnail and Test" feature! I used to spend hours going back and forth on thumbnails for my early vids. Such a time-waster! Now it's way easier. Thanks, KZbin!

[@AlienDrones]

Thanks for the info! Wonder if 3 thumbnails being tested decreases overall click rate/watch time (compared to 2) since a less popular thumbnail could be shown 66% of the time...

[@BraxtonHolley]

Major Info Jeven Thanks defiantly about to start using this option asap.

[@MountainBeaches]

I have advanced settings enabled but still no A/B thumbnail option! 😡

[@JevenDovey]

You should have it soon

[@weeklyfascination]

Just started my first A/B test yesterday. We'll see how it goes.

[@DemonKing-my2hx]

What if your video is unlisted and you test and compare how can it show the video to people?

[@Romafedorov]

Thanks for the tips Jeven! Are they planning to do the same thing with titles?

[@JevenDovey]

Not that I know of

[@MrJersey]

Great video!

[@Libavlogs24]

Thank you sir 🎉🎉

[@Libavlogs24]

I'm very satisfy from your information on this video... I'm from India....

[@AzeemDesigners]

Finally a Great Update for KZbin Thumbnail Designers. 😅

[@JeffXML]

Thankyouu for sharing this ❤

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

Do you have to be a KZbin partner? I have the Advanced features enabled but I’m not seeing anything about thumbnail testing in settings or when I upload a video. Been really wanting this feature.

[@JevenDovey]

Should be available in the coming weeks for everyone

[@AndrewTaylorYT]

@@JevenDovey gotcha. Thanks for the clarification! Excited!

[@luboyanev]

I am in Europe, and it still isn't available to me, but thank you for sharing, it will be interesting to test it out when it comes available.

[@GeorgeSoan]

Thanks for sharing. Noticed this while uploading today, this was helpful explained what it is and how to use it. Nice one 👍

[@JevenDovey]

Glad it was helpful!

[@plot1184]

Don't have access to T&C 🤔 probably only available for larger channels.

[@JevenDovey]

Available to everyone in the next few weeks

[@JamesGalaxy41]

I just started using this I can't wait for the results

[@JevenDovey]

As soon as you start testing the data should be coming in depending on how many impressions you're getting. This video already has a clear leader for the thumbnail thats working best.

[@flyingfilmmaker]

My channel with 14K subs hasn't gotten it yet, but an old channel I have with 270 subs has gotten it. A bit frustrating...

[@MountainBeaches]

Yea we have about 25k subs and we don't have it either. Hopefully soon.

[@LakesideProductions]

I don't seem to have these feature yet either. Great video none the less Jeven.

[@JevenDovey]

It’s coming over the next few weeks for everyone

[@LakesideProductions]

@@JevenDovey Fantastic!

[@ItsPopFnc]

Is this possible on mobile or not ?

[@ChannelMakers]

Not right now, maybe they will bring it to mobile in the future.

[@ItsPopFnc]

@@ChannelMakersok thx

[@Solonomadjourneys]

Hello Jeven, thank you so much for this. I have just tried it out with my latest video. :)

[@tube-master]

Great feature. Hope to see it soon on my channel 😅

[@JevenDovey]

Should be any day

[@tube-master]

@@JevenDovey looking forward to. Thanks! 💪

[@zacharysilva]

I don't think I have it yet

[@JevenDovey]

Should have it soon

[@zacharysilva]

@@JevenDovey yeah I've seen a lot of people saying they have it but I've checked multiple times and I don't. Maybe in a few days

[@spadamixinglife]

So i need to create 3 thumbnail

[@JevenDovey]

You can do 2 or 3 if you want to test

[@spadamixinglife]

@@JevenDovey this is so bas so some weak thumbnail get better click so people is they dont click they dont watch

[@etu.185]

Don’t have the feature yet 😅

[@JevenDovey]

It’s coming over the next few weeks for everyone

[@etu.185]

@@JevenDovey Thank you good sir, great video!

[@oldnboldfreedivingadvent-DK68]

We tried testing three thumbnails. After an hour, the test was still 'Running...'. We hit the three little dots and clicked on View Test and it said it would take 13 days and 23 hours to test and report on my thumbnails. We gave up on it. Who wants to wait THAT long?

[@kriswyche]

It's a joke of a system and doesn't work unless you have significant traffic to your videos. I ran the test on multiple videos, some getting 1,000's of views every week and EVERY test was "inconclusive". What is the point of being forced to wait two weeks just for every single test to not give any result, not even a number of clicks or percentages.

[@Aktheman77]

Not active on my channel yet maybe because it’s non english channel

[@lottie2525]

You'll know I watched all your video cos I saw the blonde-haired kid's appearance you didn't edit out 🤣

[@JevenDovey]

He's just tall enough to sneak in there 😂

[@nicarnold]

This video is coming from a creator with over a million subscribers, it is almost 24h up, the content is valuable and it’s got a little over 2000 views. What is wrong here?

[@JevenDovey]

My viewers don't care about this feature I guess. 🤔

[@LittleJoeTheMoonlightCat]

Yeah but it doesn't test and compare Auto-generated Thumbnails.

[@NumberNinjaDave]

Why not just save those images to file and then upload them as you normally would compare
