How do I change the thumbnail of a video?

The thumbnail is the picture people see before they play your video. You can choose a different moment from your video to use as its thumbnail:

  1. Go to the video you want to change
  2. Select "Options" below the video
  3. Choose "Edit"
  4. Under "Thumbnail", select the frame you want to use
  5. Select "Save Changes"

You can change the thumbnail once your video has finished processing. If you don't see "Thumbnail" in the edit window, a different thumbnail isn't available for that video.
