- Search results
- Hashtag pages
- Audio pivot pages
- Creator channels
- Home and subscription feeds
How Does YouTube Compare to Other Platforms?
Here’s a quick breakdown of how YouTube’s new features stack up against Instagram Reels and TikTok:
YouTube Shorts:
- Now allows adding text, emojis, and filters to thumbnails.
- Enables post-upload thumbnail selection and editing.
- Thumbnails appear in search, hashtags, and channel pages, but not in the main Shorts feed.
Instagram Reels:
- Lets users select a custom thumbnail from the video.
- Offers text overlay on thumbnails.
- Thumbnails are visible in the feed, profile grid, and Reels tab.
TikTok:
- Thumbnails are automatically generated.
- Limited customization options (mainly for ads).
- Focuses on the first frame of the video as the “cover.”
YouTube’s new features offer a middle ground: customization with limited visibility in specific platform areas.
