- Thumbnails of user-created playlists on YouTube are usually set by the first video in the playlist. The service lets users change it to any other video in the playlist.
- YouTube could soon let you customize the thumbnail of user created playlists by uploading your own thumbnail image.
An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.
<activity android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize" android:exported="false" android:name="com.google.android.apps.youtube.app.playlist.customthumbnail.CustomThumbnailCreationActivity" android:screenOrientation="portrait" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|stateHidden"/>his is some properly formatted code. Swap to the text editor to see the HTML.
Further, several new strings have been added for “upload failure” messages for playlist covers.
YouTube currently doesn’t let you set a custom thumbnail for video playlists, neither on the web nor from its apps. The thumbnail for a playlist is usually set by the first video in the playlist, though Google lets you set it to another video within the playlist. However, you cannot customize the thumbnail outside of existing videos in the playlist, which can feel restrictive to some users who want to go all out with their personalized playlist.
It is not immediately clear if and when this thumbnail customization option for playlists will go live. We’ll keep you updated.
