One of the best ways to get noticed on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or any other video-sharing platform is to have eye-catching thumbnails that browsing viewers just can't ignore. But that is much easier said than done.

So we want to know the best tutorials you've seen on how to design effective video thumbnails - bonus points if you've followed the tutorial yourself and have some data to show how it affected your channel.
