How can I submit a feature request for the Canvas Studio thumbnail? Why does it choose a random image for the thumbnail. Since most people like have a title slide, it would seem that the first image is a more logicial choice. Now I am going to have to make a screen shot of the first slide and upload it. Or give as an option to choose the first image or a random image?
Thanks,
Julie

This really needs to happen, or at least the default selection be within the first few sections. I am not creating and uploading an additional 60+ screenshots to change the thumbnails for every video.
