We have included links to Echo360’s help pages about both the video editing tools overall and the specific page for setting a video thumbnail, but the basic steps to access the “Set Video Thumbnail” option are as follows. For a complete support document, including screen captures for each step, please review our team's online tutorial file, Echo360 Feature: Set Video Thumbnail.
- Click the card in your library for the video you wish to edit.
- On the resulting page, click “Edit Media”
- Click “Okay” on the pop-up warning that your changes will affect all places this media was published (this message may not appear on videos that have not been shared yet).
- Click and drag the blue play head to the location in the video where you would like to pull the thumbnail from.
- Click the menu icon in the center of the play head (three horizontal lines), then click Set Thumbnail
- On the Set Thumbnail screen, you can choose the current location to set as your thumbnail, or if you prefer you can choose to upload a custom image. Once you’ve chosen the option you prefer (and uploaded your custom image if that’s what you chose), click Set Thumbnail.
- Once you’ve set the thumbnail as you’d like, click “Save” at the right side of the screen below where the video is displayed. At this point, your video will now have the thumbnail that you have chosen!
