Changing a Video Thumbnail

Users who upload their own videos can now choose and change the thumbnail image of their video themselves.

⚙️ How does it work?

  • 🛠️ During video approval, the admin selects a default thumbnail that is displayed after publication (as before).
  • 🔄 After the video is published, you can change the thumbnail yourself.
  • 🎞️ You can choose from 100 automatically generated thumbnails taken directly from your video.
  • ⏳ The thumbnail can only be changed within 90 days of the video being published.
