The thumbnail is what the user will see when accessing the Experience or folder the asset is in. It is important that the thumbnail accurately reflects what the video is about. Showpad generates a thumbnail that reflects the middle of the video, and you can change it based on your preference. Users can also change the thumbnail of videos they record using Showpad video, and this article details how. See how it looks Do this step by step Click Library in the top menu.
