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 Video Library, you can upload another image of your choice, meaning that your videos can be fully customized to match your business and your brand.
Changing Thumbnails
- First, make sure that your image fits our recommended specs for thumbnails:
