Answered by Edward Huber

To add a cover photo to your video, follow these steps:

1. Access your Video Library: Open the platform or software where your video is stored. Look for the Video Library section or a similar option. This is usually where you can manage and edit your videos.

2. Locate the video: Find the specific video for which you want to add a cover photo. It may be listed in chronological order or alphabetically, depending on the platform.

3. Edit the video: Look for an edit icon or an option that allows you to make changes to the video. It might be represented by a pencil or a gear symbol. Click on it to proceed with the editing process.

4. Change the cover image: Once you’re in the video’s editing interface, search for the option labeled “Change Cover” or something similar. This is where you can modify the current cover image.

5. Choose a suggested frame or upload an image: You will likely see a selection of suggested frames from your video. These frames are automatically generated, so choose one that captures the essence of your video and represents it well. If none of the suggested frames are suitable, you can click on the “Add” button to upload a custom image from your computer or device.

6. Set the chosen image as the cover: After selecting the desired frame or uploading a custom image, click on the option to “Set as Cover” or a similar command. This action will make the chosen image the new cover photo for your video.

By following these steps, you will successfully add a cover photo to your video. Remember to choose an eye-catching and relevant image that entices viewers to click on your video and watch it.
