Youtube Introduces Thumbnail Previews For Videos by temitofa(m): 7:22pm On Jul 15, 2017 |
YouTube has at lastly added thumbnail previews on its desktop platform. Users of the popular online streaming media can now hover their mouse on any video thumbnail on the website to get a 3 second preview of the clip contents. Actually, this is still limited to certain browsers – Chrome and Opera and it’s not yet available for mobile users. The absence of thumbnail previews made it challenging to glance through the content of the video without clicking it, yet some video sites have been making use of this technology for years now. Some content creators have been taking advantage of this YouTube weakness to exaggerate or over-hyped their videos with unrelated thumbnail images, thus attracting viewers to clicking on it. Now, with the thumbnail preview users can quickly scan through the video to see if it is what they are actually looking for before clicking. Regrettably, this perhaps won't stop the clickbaiters for long. Checking the last line in YouTube's support post, it states: "Currently, creators are not able to select the preview that is shown." The "currently" part simply means, content creators might eventually allowed by YouTube to set their own previews for thumbnails later on. With that, we will soon be seeing corners cutters. http://www.tellforceblog.com/2017/07/youtube-introduces-thumbnail-previews.html 2 Likes

naptu2: Insert part of the 'luring' thumbnail and mix it with the irrelevant video. Truth is, it's difficult to know what interests people. A 5 sec video can have millions of views, an audio clip with no images can have same while a video copied from another page will generate more views than the owner of the content itself. I think that's the next place YouTube will go - content ownership. Even where people give credit, I guess they'll introduce a feature that makes it play automatically on the owner's page 2 Likes 1 Share |

Facebook, YouTube, whatsapp and Co are upgrading and reviewing their status, but Nairaland which I've known for almost 10years now haven't done any notable upgrade or review, just same thing we've known for donkey years. The only known upgrade is tribalism and ethnocentrism. At times, sole proprietorship could be bad as witness with Nairaland 23 Likes |

temitofa: Alright. As for me I suffered clicking countless videos on YouTube when I wanted to watch AY's A Trip to Jamaica. I got to know in the recent past that it is not on YouTube but there are thousands of Titles with the above name to deceive people in viewing. I guess with this thumbnail preview it will be fair to know what one is about to watch. Thanks for sharing. 1 Like |
