[@BlindSurfer]

Good! Now something else can do the choosing for me. As a blind dude, I’ve never been able to see any of the thumbs my artists create for me so I’m often choosing on what’s been described to me. This will be a MUCH better way to pick.

This has been so much needed on KZbin since Meta rolled it out to creators last year to test it.

[@DangThiPhuong.]

Hello ❤

[@CluelessNomads]

Totally agree! I just set tests up for a few of our top performing videos - can't wait to see the results 😍

[@MCCABEWORLD]

Yeah, we needed this KZbin! Thanks, this is a very good tool 👍🏾

[@Rockingfunwithdanish]

Thanks for understanding 🙂

[@msvinesyt]

Great Job! much needed update, and please bring custom thumbnails for shorts in the next update.

[@CarNewsTV]

this is absolutely the best thing you could come up with. i had endless dilemmas between choosing a thumbnail :D i love you KZbin !

[@Knufia]

We prefer this function to be used as a test for CTR and not for watch time. Measuring watch time is equivalent to the question "Does this thumbnail congruent with what's going on in the video or it is a clickbait?" as a creator, I rather know if my Thumbnail is attracting the audience on the homepage or the suggestion column. and the way it is done right now is not answering this problem.

[@Kowanakaofficial]

[@LifeDIY]

I am so glad I saw this notice in KZbin Studio. This is an incredible feature - thank you!

[@iip]

This is such a gamechanger - for someone who just wings his thumbnails, I love this feature!

[@cherriestwinnies]

We're so happy that this tool exists now! Definitely gonna try it for our next video!

[@jenluv]

This is such an amazing tool. Unfortunately, I feel like the technology is completely wasted on my channel. Watch time is not a problem for me. The watch time in the test almost ALWAYS comes out within 1% of each other. PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU! PLEASE allow us the option of choosing test results based on CLICK THROUGH RATE! This is the metric that I need to choose a thumbnail. If you don't want the thumbnail to be chosen because of that, please at least give us that metric. That way we can manually change it if we want to. Thank you for considering this. I know I can't be the only one who wants to determine a thumbnail based on CTR, not WT.

[@RetroPlus]

Yeah i was going to say, testing based on watch time for the thumbnail is totally worthless

[@heikodietze]

@@RetroPlus True, but I assume watch time is what counts for KZbin. 🤣

[@KaylaCosmos]

YES -- pretty useless to help me know which style actually helps and what to replicate.

[@thaisdassi]

Well, I honestly would like KZbin to allow us to choose one thumbnail for each language the video is available to be watched in. I've gotten videos with subtitles but the same thumbnail. It does not work, unless you don´t write anything in the thumbnail.

[@DangThiPhuong.]

[@dalsifilms]

0:51 Could the winner have the lowest click rate of the three? KZbin Studio should display both values ​​upon completion of the test

[@TheIndigoEscape]

thats why it gives you watch time rather than CTR. CTR means nothing when the Reach is higher. The higher the Reach, the lower teh CTR but the audience satisfaction should be the balance.

[@user-gh9mi8ny4g_DreamJourney]

새로운 기능을 통해 최고의 미리보기 이미지를 시청자와 함께 선택할 수 있다니 정말 흥미롭네요! 🎉 하지만 우승자가 세 개 중 가장 낮은 클릭률을 가질 가능성도 있겠군요. 테스트가 완료되면 KZbin Studio에서 클릭률 값을 모두 표시해주는 것이 중요하겠어요. 이렇게 하면 더 정확한 데이터를 바탕으로 최적의 선택을 할 수 있을 테니까요. 🌟 여러분 모두 행복한 유튜브 생활을 즐기시길 바랍니다! 💖📹

[@dalsifilms]

@@TheIndigoEscape And what about if you have a thumbnail with a playback time of 10 minutes and CTR 4% but another one with a playback time of 8 minutes and CTR 15%? This system will always stick with the first and perhaps the second is better for us.

[@TheIndigoEscape]

@@dalsifilms On the question mark it says: "By selecting based on watch time share, the winning thumbnail is the one that gets viewers to both click and stay to watch. Additionally, KZbin’s search and discovery systems consider both when ranking videos." So it counts both CTR and watch time. Whatever makes the video satisfaction higher by adding both metrics, gets you a winning thumbnail. I understand what you are saying though. It should count percentage viewed of a video as well.

[@DangThiPhuong.]
