Hi @BSmedley! Thank you for helping me learn something today!

I started looking around and found this video and it works! 

How to Add a Thumbnail to YouTube Shorts (NEW Feature)

I am doing this in the YouTube app on my mobile phone same as in the video. This is not something you're going to be able to do if you are sharing to YouTube from Hubspot. You'll have do it direct on YouTube. Hope that helps!

Thank you for asking the Community!

I understand that you'd like to add a title on the YouTube thumbnail. Please let me know if that's not the case.

I have found these similar threads that might help you regarding the thumbnail:

- The solution from @Lucila-Andimol on this post "Can I change Thumbnail on video upload for Social posts"

I'd like to invite a couple of subject matter experts to this conversation: Hi @Jnix284, @Crystal_Hopper and @Josh do you have suggestions to help @BSmedley to add a title on the thumbnail, please?

Also, if anybody else has anything to add and/or share, please feel free to join in the conversation 🙂
