News has emerged that on shorts on YouTube, you will be able to set an extra thing from now on.
While the shorts feature has never been and is unlikely to be, a major part of the content on the YouTube platform, it has recently become increasingly popular and is gaining viewer interest. This is compounded by the fact that some channels focus only on this type of output, as it is fast-paced, usually deals with lighter topics, and is often funny and easy to watch.
For some people, it’s simply a form of moving TikToks to YT to reach a wider audience. Regardless of what purpose someone creates shorts for, one thing is for sure – a lot of people will enjoy the new opportunity the platform will provide.
What’s new for shorts on YouTube?
No one needs to be convinced that a thumbnail is a very important part of a video on YT. While it may initially appear to be just a “cover” of the video, larger creators know that catching the viewer’s attention and the first impression is incredibly important.
Hence, different styles of miniatures have been created over the years, using certain tricks to further entice the audience.
It turns out that from now on the thumbnail will also be added for shorts. Until now, their cover depicted a frame from a recording, which was sometimes encouraging, but not always.
People who use the shorts tab, and even more so people who share this type of content, are sure to enjoy it. It gives more options and is just a nice addition.
