When uploading videos to VIUTube, VIUTube will automatically generate and select an image (called a thumbnail) to be displayed next to the title of your video. This thumbnail will usually be a screenshot from the first 5 seconds of your video.
If you do not like the thumbnail that VIUTube has automatically generated and selected, you can select another automatically generated thumbnail from a list of available options or you can upload an image file to VIUTube to use as the thumbnail image. If uploading a custom thumbnail it is recommended to use an image (PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, etc...) with 1500 x 840 in resolution or a similar aspect ratio.
