Can I change a thumbnail on a video?

Another +1 for this feature please!

Any updates on this in the last 2 years? I think this is indeed really annoying.

To use the first frame is very limiting, as the first frame is never relevant content.

The solution of adding a frame to the start of every video is very cumbersome.

Further to my answer from, goodness, 3 years back. I find that this is a simple workaround (and I'll keep the tools simple too):

Open PowerPoint. On Slide 1. create your poster/title frame.

On Slide 2. Place your video (remember to set the "Playback" to "Automatically"

Set the Transition on Slide 1. to "None" and set the "Advance Slide" to "After 00:00.01"

Save as "MP4" and you should now have a video that will display correctly on your course and will smoothly transition from the Title card to the video. 

Here's an example of what I've outlined: https://rise.articulate.com/share/Cm6hSihs-d_tZIFPFwbzjoRLI_buflAO

Seems pretty ridiculous that after three years we still don't have this basic functionality.  That said, Brenda... that's a good solution.  I do something very similar using Wondershare Filmora (video editing software).  I just add an image to the front of my video, set it to one second, and then export.  It's not really a big deal to do when it's just one here and there.  However, I've had projects before where I had 15-20 videos and that's where it gets tedious.  

throwing my name in the mix too! I can do this elsewhere thankfully, but it's just an annoyance when it could be easily done in Rise. 

I also believe this feature should be added to Rise360. We run courses with mainly short video content and the workarounds for this, while not cumbersome, take time!

+1 for this. At the same time I offer an apology to all the people who now gets an unnecessary mail since there isn't any better idea portal here than leaving a comment. 

+1 for the option to add a thumbnail image to videos in Rise360
