How to CHOOSE your Shorts ✨Thumbnail✨

You can now choose the thumbnail for your Short! Here’s how. After you finish up your Short, select the pencil icon on the suggested thumbnail on the ‘Add details’ page. Select which frame of your Short you want to use as your thumbnail. Once you’re happy with how your thumbnail looks, tap “Done.” Try it out with your next Short!

what about web user??? no option to edit shorts thumbnail via web/laptop/computer

Please give it also on PC. Uploading from mobile reduces the quality to 720P.... And also we can't remove thumbnails from very old shorts with custom thumbnail... We need that option too. Thanks! :)

When will this be available for desktop, or editable AFTER it's been uploaded (via desktop)?

This is great! 👍🏻 Just tested it on iOS and it works!! 👏🏻 Now if we could just change the thumbnails on our older shorts, that would really be awesome!

"We offered this before but took out this feature and are now excitedly announcing it to you like a great new feature 🤩🤩"

Except once you choose it you can't change it to something else if you want to test out something different! WHYYYY

I will make shorts video soon. Thanks for the video.

I want to set it even for uploads from the browser.

Thank you! I hope in the future we will be able to adjust the ratio size of the video. When creating shorts from videos, sometimes it cuts out the rest of the video/ what's happening.
