How to Add or Change Video Thumbnails

Grab viewers' attention with captivating thumbnails!

Thumbnails play a crucial role in attracting viewers to your content and enticing them to watch your videos. Well-designed thumbnails can significantly increase the conversion rate of your video posts. You have the flexibility to choose and customize thumbnails when posting on Facebook Pages, YouTube, or Instagram. On Instagram, you can use any image from the video as an alternative thumbnail. On Facebook and YouTube, you can either select a thumbnail from the video or upload a custom image.

Here's a step-by-step guide on selecting custom thumbnails:

Create a post for Instagram, Facebook (Page), and/or YouTube, and upload the desired video.



Once the video is loaded, click on the "Edit Video Options" button that appears.


Note: The Edit Video Options button is outlined in red as it requires YouTube to have a video title.

A pop-up window will open. You can also go to the YouTube tab to add a Video title.



You can choose an existing thumbnail from the video. You can also upload a custom image by clicking the "+" sign.



Click "OK" when you're done.

The thumbnail is now added or changed to the new image. You can preview it by clicking the "See Preview" button.
