About update

It's simple: YouTube Previews or Muted Playbacks.Chances are that you must have already encountered such videos where instead of the thumbnail, the video starts to play automatically.

The special thing about them is, there is NO AUDIO, the video is muted. So, we get to see the visuals and text only. Hence, it's also called Muted Playbacks.

See, by default, autoplay is turned on only when the device is connected to some wifi or hotspot. By default, it is turned off for your mobile data. But if you want, simply go into settings>genral>muted playbacks in feed and then select the setting you wish to choose.

There is one more reason out here: YouTube Auto plays or Previews. But How? Imagine, you are scrolling your YouTube feed with auto play turned on. Now, if you get some random video with the title, “How to get your first 100 subscribers”.

In the preview, you will see some man/woman talking something. But how can you be sure if he's talking relevant things or talking about his/her breakup. At the same place, if you get professional youtuber video in your feed, you will directly get to see the text, How to get your first 100 Subscribers in 2 Days.

This will re affirm the topic of the video and get it straight that it is NOT a clickbait video. Hence, you are more likely to click on professional youtuber video.

Now, before I talk about 'How you can benefit from it', let's talk about 'How Big YouTubers are Already Using it'?

50millions views with Auto-Play

Ok, so @MrBeast is no doubt among the top creators right now. A video of @MrBeast is one of his most popular video having more than 70M views. The title of the video is, 'I Spent 50 Hours Buried Alive' ; if you were to see the video, you'll notice the topic repeated again in while you are just 4 seconds in.

And not just words, the visuals are proper too. You can see MrBeast in the coffin while you are just 4 seconds into the video. What happens now is, even if you watch the muted video, you will know, that the video has what the title says.

Now, in the auto play you can clearly see that the video is genuine and not a clickbait one. Hence, this video will get more views comparatively.

Listen again, I said comparatively. I never said you will get a Million views doing this, but this will surely help increase your views and this is how you get more views with small improvements and strategies. So, keep a note of all of it.

Getting more views with ‘ Muted Playbacks ’

Again, the core of this answer is going to remain the same. Think according to your genre, which intro is going to work the best for it.

For eg, if you have uploaded a video about meeting some celebrity in your vlog channel.Your simple aim here is that people don't feel it's a clickbait video. You want the video to look authentic.

Hence, simply use the real meetup clips in the beginning of your video to make sure people know that the video is not clickbait. If you are having a cooking channel, have your best cinematic shots of the dish in the beginning. Or maybe use a time-lapse

Basically, the visuals should be mouth watering. Talking about Fitness/Art Channels, use aesthetics clips in the intro of your video or if it's a tutorial, maybe show them how they can become 0 to hero quickly.

If you are a vlogger, then again think, What is going to be the best introduction you can make which is likely to get more clicks.

For eg, if the video is about travel, aesthetic clips are expected to work the best in the beginning to get that click think according to the aim and topic of the video. There is only one thing you need to remember and regardless of what the topic or channel is, you can make a great intro.

It's simple, mute the audio and then imagine from the perspective of the audience, will they or will not they click the muted intro and then adapt according to it.

For eg, if you are a YouTube news channel, USE TEXT in the beginning. Place your MOST CATCHY words upfront in the video. If it's a gaming channel, have great reactions.The reactions should be great even without the audio.

Hence, the audience will be much more likely to click the video. Similarly, if it's a tutorial video, use text in the beginning, this video will be about this that, etc.

Now, whether it's a fact channel or some other channel, the basic rule is universal. The intro should be great without the audio. Now, the world of ideas is open for you to think. All I can do is make you think, guide you a bit and give you my ideas.

Are Thumbnail Irrelevant now?

The short answer is no, thumbnails are not irrelevant. But Why? Because most people use mobile data in India and by default muted playbacks are wifi only.

Hence, not all people get to witness these muted playbacks. Maybe, even you don't see them. But, a lot of people do see them. And if we talk about pc, autoplay is going to work only on one video at a time, the rest 7 videos will have a static thumbnail only.

Add to this, we see random 3 seconds clip on pc, instead of the intro. Hence, we can't really play for it. Still, a lots of people use mobile device for watch YouTube a lot of them do get to see muted playbacks. Hence, you surely can get ahead of other YouTubers by applying whatever I just told you in this article.
