In addition to title information you may select (or upload) a thumbnail that will appear when your video is searched for on YouTube. If you have playlists set up on your account then you may add it to one of those.

 

Additionally you may set an age level and other commercial options from this screen. When you’re done, you may click “Next”.

 

Once you click “Next”, you will be prompted to add “Video Elements” which typically include credits or introduction screens at the end or the beginning of your video respectively. When you are set here click “Next”.
