Custom Thumbnail/Preview image for Video and Audio Media
Users can now apply a Custom Thumbnail/Preview image for Video and Audio Media
The thumbnail is what users see on the media tile in the Library or in a Group. The thumbnail is also the preview image that users see prior to playback, for media posted or embedded outside of Echo360.
Echo360 now allows you to select ANY moment from the video to use as the thumbnail and preview image. This can go a long way more easily identify which recording is which, and which one you may want to view, or add to a collection, or post somewhere for students.
Even better, you can upload your own image to use, if using a still from the media isn't appropriate, or there isn't a moment that conveys any useful visual information about the media. The ability to upload a custom image is also useful for Audio-only media, where the default image is a simple “speaker” icon.
