This article explains how to change a video's thumbnail image in Finalsite Resources, including how to select a different image and how to revert to the automatically generated thumbnail.
💡Quick answers
- Can the automatically chosen video thumbnail be changed? Yes, a different thumbnail can be selected on the Edit Resource Details screen if the automatically chosen one isn't a good fit.
- Setting a custom thumbnail for an uploaded video? Steps: open the video's Edit Resource Details screen, click the Select Thumbnail icon below the existing thumbnail, then choose another image from Resources or upload a new one.
- Is it possible to revert to the original auto-generated thumbnail? Yes, clicking the same Select Thumbnail icon again allows you to revert back to the automatically generated thumbnail.
- Does setting a thumbnail require uploading a brand new image? No, an existing image already in Resources can be chosen, or a new image can be uploaded, whichever is preferred.
If you don't like the thumbnail image that is automatically chosen when you upload a video to Resources, you can select another one on the Edit Resource Details screen.
To set a video thumbnail, use the "Select Thumbnail" icon below the video's existing thumbnail. You can then choose another image from Resources (or upload a new one) to use as the video's thumbnail instead.
If you no longer want to use the selected thumbnail, you can revert to the automatically generated one by clicking the same icon.
