You may have heard the old saying “The first impression is the last impression”, so make it count. Thumbnail is kinda same, it gives the users an impression on what the video is about.

7. End Screen and Cards:

 

Before your viewers finish watching your video and ultimately leave your channel, you get this opportunity to show them another video to view, which they may wish to view as long as it’s related to the content they are watching.
