Thumbnails

Thumbnails allow you to customise how your player will look before a video has started playing. You can set a custom thumbnail for each video, and it will be used in the player and in the grid view.

When a video is first processed we will automatically generate a thumbnail from the video, you can change this at any time. You can upload any valid image file, and we will automatically convert it to the correct size.

You can add a thumbnail from the Edit Video page, in the ‘Media’ tab. Hover over the existing thumbnail and click the icon. You can then select a new thumbnail from your computer and click save when finished.

Adding a Thumbnail

To view your existing thumbnail and download a copy of the optimized image click “View Thumbnail”. You will be able to view your current thumbnail and generate a secure link to download a copy of the optimized image.
