Logos vs. Social — What's the Difference?
If you're trying to update the image associated with your channel and it doesn't seem to be changing, you may be updating the wrong tab — this is a common mix-up with the Social tab, which serves a different purpose.
| Tab | What It Controls |
|---|---|
| Logos | The Channel Logo — displayed in the navigation bar and other places depending on your layout. This is what most people mean by "channel thumbnail." |
| Social | The preview image shown when your channel's public URL is shared externally (e.g., in a text message or social post). It does not affect the Channel Logo. |
Steps to Update Your Channel Logo:
- Find your desired channel
- Go to Channel Settings in the left-hand navigation.
- Click the Logos tab.
- Under Channel Logo, click Use New Image.
- Upload your new image.
- Recommended size: 1500 × 844px (16:9 ratio)
Bonus — Favicons:
While you're in the Logos tab, you'll also see a Favicon field. This is a separate image that appears in browser tabs and on some mobile devices. It's uploaded independently via the Upload Image button and does not need to match your Channel Logo.
