Restore animated thumbnail previews - youtube.com

To restore animated thumbnail previews, requires inline previews to be disabled in your YouTube settings. Note: not Greasemonkey compatible. v2.0 adds fallback option of a still image carousel for the homepage where YouTube has changed their data structure to no longer provide an_webp animated thumbnail urls, which is affecting some users; for such users non-homepage pages are unaffected and continue to use the an_webp animated thumbs.

To restore animated thumbnail previews (when hovering over a video tile when browsing etc). Requires inline previews (i.e. the video player previews) to be disabled in your YouTube settings.

Note: not Greasemonkey compatible. Recommendation is to use Violentmonkey.

Change log:

  • v2.0, 2025-02-12: Add a fallback option for users affected by YouTube's recent code changes that they are no longer providing an_webp animated thumbnail URLs on the homepage. The fall back makes a still image carousel/slideshow of some available screenshots apply to the homepage. At time of writing only some users affected and only the homepage is affected, other pages continue to work with an_webp animated thumbnails.
  • v1.0, 2023-12-14: Initial release.
