By default, when you upload videos to Thinkific, a still from the video will be set as the thumbnail image. This thumbnail will be what the student sees before they hit 'Play'.

Because this image is set at random, there's a chance it may not be what you're looking for.

You're not stuck with it, though! From your Asset Library, you can upload another image of your choice, meaning that your videos can be fully customized to match your business and your brand.

  2. From the Admin Dashboard, go to Products

  5. In the right panel, scroll down to Video settings.

  6. Under Thumbnail image, click the upload icon on the thumbnail.
