PlayPlay enables you to choose the thumbnail of your video by selecting and saving a frame to be used as such.
 
Once your PlayPlay has been generated in HD, you will only be able to change the thumbnail via the embed feature or when creating a landing page.
 
Afterward, the thumbnail will be automatically saved as the thumbnail of your video throughout PlayPlay, including in the preview of your video on the homepage or in the share link.

1. From your video's embed page

  • Launch the Preview of your PlayPlay, then the HD generation.

  • Click on Embed, then on Edit thumbnail.
