We don’t upload many videos to Facebook but some of our friends do. Facebook chooses a default thumbnail for your video but here’s how you can choose your own.

1. Find the video on your timeline and click on its title.

2. After the video page loads, click on ‘Edit This Video’. Like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. The Edit Video page comes up which allows you to tag people in it, change the title, etc. You can also choose the thumbnail that your friends see on their page. Click through the choices, we had 10 available, until you find the one you want. Your choices are limited, probably it depends on how long the video is, but you should be able to find one that suits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Don’t forget to click ‘Save’ before you exit the page.

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s it! It seems simple now but it’s not exactly intuitive, is it? If you have problems with anything else on Facebook, let us know.
