# How do I edit a video thumbnail?

A little cultural note: The Brothers "Lumières" invented video more than 100 years ago. The concept is simple: a sequence of images that gives an impression of movement!

Today, video is a widely used and very engaging communication channel . And one of the keys to encourage watching is: the thumbnail used in preview!

By default, when you upload a video, your Incenteev platform uses the first image of the video as thumbnail. It's simple and requires no effort. However, you can have bad surprises: this first image is sometimes a grimace, a black screen, or something else that does not highlight the video.

**How to customize the thumbnail ?**

Manually, you can choose to customize the thumbnail of your videos!

Here is how to do it 👇

* Go to the "**document**" tab  
​
* Click on the video file you want to edit (If it is stored in a particular library, then you will have to go to it)  
​
* Click on the icon representing the three lines on the right then on "**Edit**"

You can then customize the "highlighted image":

* **"Upload an image"**: allows you to use the image of your choice.
* **"Disable preview"**: allows you to use the video icon as a thumbnail.
* **"Use default thumbnail"**: generates the first frame of the video as a thumbnail.

Now you are ready to get the most out of your videos :)  

**See you soon on Incenteev! 😃**
