0:11
can't see the channel icons other people
0:13
have a sing issue where the video
0:15
thumbnails don't show there are actually
0:16
three ways to fix this issue the first
0:18
one is to clear your YouTube watch
0:20
History to do that on the homepage of
0:22
YouTube find the history tab click on it
0:26
and then click on clear all watch
0:28
history after that confirm by clicking
0:30
clear watch History you can now return
0:32
to the homepage and check if the issue
0:34
has been resolved in my case that fix
0:37
didn't work if that didn't work for you
0:39
just like me your next option is to
0:41
delete your browser history this process
0:43
is slightly different depending on the
0:45
type of browser you're using to delete
0:47
your browser history on edge click the
0:49
three dots at the top right then scroll
0:51
down and select delete browsing
0:55
history make sure to select all time
1:00
and then hit clear now to delete your
1:02
browser history on Google Chrome click
1:03
the three dots at the top right select
1:06
history then click delete browsing
1:08

1:13

1:41
clear refresh your YouTube page and see
1:44
if the problem is solved as you can see
1:47
deleting the browsing history didn't
1:48
solve my problem because I still can't
1:51
see the YouTube channel icons If the
1:53
previous two methods didn't work for you
1:55
this third one is going to work
1:58
sometimes the DNS servers which your
2:00
internet service provider uses may cause
2:03
some issues on websites such as YouTube
2:06
and the easiest way to solve this
2:07
problem is to change the DNS servers on
2:10
your computer I'm going to show you how
2:12
to change your DNS servers on Windows 11
2:15
Google provides free public DNS servers
2:18
which are fast reliable and secure you
2:21
can find them by searching for Google
2:23
DNS servers for Windows the first search
2:25
result says get started on public DNS
2:29
select this one you have to scroll down
2:31
until you find the option for setting up
2:34
your DNS servers on Windows on the next
2:36
step go to the windows menu select
2:38
settings click network and internet
2:41
since I'm connected to the Wi-Fi I'm
2:43
going to select Wi-Fi then right at the
2:45
bottom you can see manage Hardware
2:47
properties this is where I'm going to
2:49
insert Google's public DNS server
2:52
addresses all I have to do is click edit
2:55
then change from automatic to manual
2:58
then enable IP V4 and also enable IP V6
3:03
go back to Google's website and select
3:05
the first DNS address go back to
3:09
settings and insert it there on the
3:11
alternate address you go back to the
3:13
website and select
3:15
8.8.4.4 copy that and paste it in
3:19
alternate ip4 DNS server address you
3:23
also have to set the IPv6 addresses so
3:26
go back to Google's website and copy the
3:28
first IPv6 address go to settings and
3:32
paste it in preferred DNS on the IPv6
3:35
then do the same thing for alternate
3:37
address and paste it under alternate DNS
3:40
address fine everything is set up all
3:43
you have to do is hit save now let's go
3:46
back to YouTube and refresh the homepage
3:48
to see if we can start seeing our
3:52
Channel
3:53
