Custom Thumbnail Feature

[Sirtoshi]

Hey all. I know you all must be sick of seeing threads like this already, but I just wanted to clarify. I've had my Youtube account for 45 days now as of March 25, 2013. I am in good standing and have had monetization activated on my account (though none of my videos are actually monetized).

Yet I still lack the custom thumbnail option. Am I missing something? Or am I just an impatient fool that needs to wait a few more weeks?

You have to enable the feature. Go to Settings in the drop down thing at the top by your name. Then click on "View your account status and feature availability". There you should be able to enable custom thumbnails.

Apply for RPM and I wish the best.

If you have your YouTube account for more than 30 days and are in good standings (no copyright strikes), then you can enable custom thumbnails. You don't need to be partnered with anyone.

Yep, you might need to enable it! Good luck.

Hmmm. I tried looking into it. On the "features" page, it says that my account is not eligible at this time. So more waiting, I guess?

No, no, you can enable it. Even google states that you have to have an account in good standing and was created for more than a month, you get custom thumbnails

Go to the settings tab, then account settings.

Go to the settings tab, then account settings.

Alrighty, I'll go investigate more into it.

Check whether or not you have any copyright strikes. It should give an explanation.
