Is it possible to change the image of a video thumbnail in confluence?

Question

When posting a video tutorial I could not find an option to change the video thumbnail to one appropriate to the contents of the video or the page.

It uses a plain and dejected looking stock thumbnail that does not invite a user to view it. I would like to change the thumbnail to suit the contents.

Thanks

Hi Nadia,

We have a feature request for this below:

* CONFSERVER-54192

In another request, a user had a workaround where they were creating their own thumbnails and then editing the view manually in the Confluence source editor. You could try this if you are familiar with editing source.

I tried to see if there was a Marketplace add-on that might help you with this as well, but unfortunately, it doesn't appear there is.

Let us know if you have any questions about this.

Regards,

Shannon
