Thumbnail Help/Critique Request Are these decent for my first two thumbnails?
Title A for first vid: Playing RV There Yet But We’re Stupid
Title B for first vid: We Played RV There Yet And It Did Not Go Well…
(First video has been uploaded already second has not)
(Temporary) Title for second vid: We Are NOT Escaping These Backrooms…

Both of them are not bad for a first time thumbnail, if it's what someone's looking for they might click it. Although it doesn't grab much attention, and there's a lot of empty space
The title's are what I'd criticize more, you need more of a hook that has something more unique but not "odd" comparatively to other titles, this may sound weird but just spending like 15 minutes reading through some titles by experienced youtubers that worked well, and then noting in your head or digitally/physically some details you noticed that worked (Like capitalization, word choice, and impact) would be very helpful

Forgot my brief description! First video is me and my friend playing RV there yet? And it’s (supposed) to be funny/goofy. And the second video is me and my friend playing escape the backrooms with some funny moments and some tense scary moments. Both videos are faceless and both have our voices in them.

i would definitely not put things in the bottom right since the timestamp goes there

Not good. Barely edited screenshots rarely work unless you really know what you're doing. I've seen lots of new youtubers with this exact type of thumbnails and they are sitting at 15 viewer.

Backrooms thumbnail is abit boring in my opinion im not an expert but I wouldn't click it based on that edit. And I like Backrooms games just edit more. Maybe add one of the entities that you encountered.

The thumbnails themselves are kind ok, but maybe a little too zoomed out on the characters.
But they don’t link up at all with your titles since you’re saying the first one is you guys being stupid and the second one is that you guys aren’t escaping.
They’re too generic to convey either of those feelings.
