First Image on Videos

[afrewenlord]

We have been creating a lot of videos with learning from home. Unfortunately Canvas chooses a random snap of the entire video to make as the image when the page is loaded. The images don't look great as we are often half way through saying something. Is it possible to select which frame can be the first image or choose a default picture?

Thanks for sharing this idea,  @afrewenlord  Welcome to the Canvas Community! We've opened this idea for voting as a request for the ability to add a custom thumbnail image to videos recorded through the Rich Content Editor media tool. Studio users can choose their own custom thumbnail images, as described in https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-13747-50736820150
