To restore animated thumbnail previews (when hovering over a video tile when browsing etc). Requires inline video previews to be disabled in your YouTube user settings (Go to https://www.youtube.com/account_playback and set "video previews" to disabled).

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

Change log:

  • v4.0, 2025-07-28: Add new carousel fallback for Youtube's new homepage UI.
  • v3.0, 2025-07-12: Add fix for new youtube update to sidebar vids; remove carousel fallback.
  • 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.
