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.

You can add thumbnails while creating a playlist. You can also upload the thumbnails later. You can add one thumbnail in each ratio.

To upload/modify the thumbnail of a playlist

1. From the Content section of the left menu select Organize -> Playlist

You will see the list of available Playlists
​

2. Select the Edit Button under the Action Column of the required Playlist
