  • Question

    How can I do this on my iPhone?

    Community Answer

    You can only do this on a computer. It's because the video manager and settings are only accessible on a laptop or desktop computer.

  • Question

    Can I do all these using a phone?

    Community Answer

    I believe you can only do this on a computer. The video manager and settings are only used on a laptop/computer.

  • Question

    Where is the video manager link for YouTube?

    Community Answer

    There isn't a link. If you click on your profile picture on the top right and then find "Creator Studio" under "My Channel," click it, under the first tab you will find "Video Manager." Click on it.

  • Question

    When I look at the list view, none of the thumbnails have changed, even though I have selected a thumbnail, it's not over 2MB, and it shows it selected. I save my changes, but it is still not reflecting. What should I do?

    Community Answer

    Most of the time, YouTube will not show that the thumbnail has changed until you leave the video manager, though it has changed.

  • Question

    How do I add a thumbnail to a video on YouTube if I am using an iPad? Is the technique the same?

    Community Answer

    No, the technique is not the same because on laptops or the desktop, it has the thumbnail option. However, on anything else like the iPad, phone, etc., it does not have the thumbnail option.
