With PlayShorts, you can change the thumbnail of your story to better reflect the video content and attract more viewer attention.
By default, PlayShorts automatically sets the first second of your video as the story thumbnail.
If you want to change this thumbnail, follow these steps:

Tips for Optimizing Your Thumbnail
To ensure fast loading and the best display, we recommend:
Using lightweight images (not too large in file size) to optimize loading speed.
Choosing images with a square aspect ratio for better display on all devices.
This way, your story thumbnails will load quickly and look great across your site.
