Adding Thumbnails to Videos

Check out our guide on how to add a video thumbnail so you can pick the best image for your profile's grid or page.

Adding a video to Orlo 

1) Users will need to navigate to the 'Compose Post' button in the top right-hand corner to bring down the composer tab and select the social media accounts to post the video to. 

2)  To upload a video, select either the 'paperclip' icon or the 'plus button' and select 'Upload Video'. Once a video has been chosen from the different upload options, click 'Upload'. 

Adding a Thumbnail to your Video 

1) Once the video has been uploaded, users can click on the three dots on the video and select 'Video Settings'. 

2) In this area, this will give users the option to upload an image to attach to the video by selecting 'upload thumbnail', which will be displayed at the start of the video and also on your page once this has gone live on the network. This can be uploaded from your own device or from Orlo's asset library. 

3) For Instagram and TikTok, users can also select a thumbnail from a clip in the video. To do this, users will need to click on the '<' or '>' icon to select a frame to use. 

4) To change the thumbnail that users have uploaded before posting, users can click on the  icon in the bottom right-hand corner 

5) After users have chosen a thumbnail, users can schedule or post or post in real-time using the normal composer features.
