Available for 'Play video file on page' and 'Play video file in pop-up' modules.
A video thumbnail is a still image that acts as a visual preview of your video - think of it like a book cover. It's the first thing your visitors see before the video plays, so it's a great opportunity to make a strong first impression.
Adding a thumbnail is especially useful if the first frame of your video isn’t ideal or doesn’t clearly represent the content. A well-chosen thumbnail can help draw attention, set expectations, and encourage viewers to hit play.
