How to Add a Thumbnail to a LinkedIn Video
Try this interactive demo to learn how to add a thumbnail to a LinkedIn video.
📌 Why this matters
A custom thumbnail transforms your video from generic content into clickable media that stops the scroll. While LinkedIn auto-generates thumbnails from random video frames, you control the visual hook that determines whether people engage with your content. Your thumbnail becomes the deciding factor between a video that gets ignored and one that drives meaningful professional conversations. The right image can convey your video's value proposition instantly, turning casual browsers into engaged viewers who actually watch your content.
