A thumbnail is a great way to showcase your content. You can display your playlists with stunning thumbnails to convince your users to watch more.
Ensure the image (thumbnail) satisfies the below:
Format: The thumbnail should be in jpg or png format
Image Ratio: The thumbnail image ratio should be 16:9 , 4:3 , 3:4 , 1:1 .
Max resolution for each image ratio: 16:9 - 2560x1440, 4:3 - 800x600, 3:4 - 1200x1600, 1:1 - 1080x1080
If an image is not of the specified form or ratio, you will be unable to add it.
