When posting a video in a blog or
on a social network site a thumbnail has to be created otherwise an image of
the video is not going to appear. To create this thumbnail you must first start
your video and click on the YouTube link. Next click on the channel name which
will take you to that channel’s page. Then under uploads or featured you will
see a list of videos. Go through the list until you find the video featured in
your blog. Now right click over the thumbnail related to your featured video
and go into properties. Once in properties copy the URL address. Then paste the
URL in between the speech marks in the new part of code that will be added o
the original code which will look a bit like this <img src=”http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/xQuGpW0NuW8/mqdefault.jpg”
style=”display: none;”/> .
Finally added this code on top of the original embedded code.
This will create a thumbnail that
can be used on social media sites.
