If you’ve used YouTube on the desktop recently you might have noticed a slight change in the user experience. YouTube GIF thumbnails are now live for a larger number of users. Google’s online video streaming service actually launched this functionality back in February for select users and it’s now available for almost all users.
The functionality itself is pretty self-explanatory. You just have to hover the pointer over the thumbnail of a YouTube video and a short GIF will play automatically which will give you a good idea of what to expect from the video.
When the pointer is hovered over the thumbnail, the GIF plays three seconds of the video without sound. This isn’t groundbreaking stuff by any means, but it does make the user experience a bit better for the countless people that use YouTube every single day.
YouTube says that GIF thumbnail previews are now live for most users on YouTube homepages, watch page, search results, trending tab as well as the subscriptions tab.
The only caveat here is that GIF thumbnail previews work with Chrome versions 32 and up and Opera version 19 and up. YouTube says that GIF thumbnail previews are not available for mobile users at this point in time.
To be eligible for a GIF thumbnail, a YouTube video has to be 30 seconds at least. YouTube decides which videos are going to get the animated thumbnail based on video topic and content. Any new video that doesn’t get a GIF thumbnail within two days isn’t going to get one at all.

Samsung has created a new app for its Android smartphones called Game Live. As the name suggests, this app is going to enable Samsung users to stream mobile games that they’re playing on their handsets to social networks like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch. The Game Live app allows game streams of up to 4GB in size.
The app itself is pretty simple. Users just have to launch the game and then sign into the game streaming service for their choosing. Then it’s just a matter of choosing how long they’re going to stream their gameplay for.
Samsung says that users should get 200 minutes of game streaming at high quality. If they want more time they can choose to lower the resolution.
Users will have the option if they want to stream the game’s audio only or if they want to use the microphone input to stream their commentary as well. They can do both if they so desire.
The app will allow users to save their streams locally on the handset when they’re done. The Samsung Game Live app is available for download right now from the Galaxy Apps store.
All recent Samsung devices running Android Marshmallow and up are compatible with the app.
