Hello Is it possible to change the video thumbnail in open edx? I was looking at the edx documentation and they said you can but im follow their insutructions and I cannot find it. Heres the documentation I am following, its not open edx so this may differ? [https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-partner-course-staff/en/latest/video/additional\_video\_options.html](https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-partner-course-staff/en/latest/video/additional_video_options.html) I know you can just change it on youtube and link that but it would be great to have a way to do it in edx. Thanks! ---

Hi @tech_mil, It is possible in Redwood: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/openedx/original/2X/a/a794d8deb07723078dc350be26398628a09b868f.png) ---

Hi Andres, Apologies I should have mentioned we are still on Quince, do you know if it is possible there? Thanks ---

I haven’t seen this in the old Studio. Since Redwood, Studio has its own MFE where I took this screenshot from. ---

That would make sense, I will look into upgrading to Redwood. ---

@tech_mil Updating to the latest version is good, but be aware that the video thumbnail feature is an exclusive feature for [edx.org](http://edx.org), which means you won’t get it even if you update your instance to Redwood. This is the picture I took from an instance running the Redwood version. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/openedx/original/2X/6/61f8033227fa1afeb51506cf156aafa2cd18eede.png) ---

Ah I see, does that mean my instance of edx would need to be hosted on [edx.org](http://edx.org)? ---

[edx.org](http://edx.org) is a website using openedx just like you, the video thumbnail feature I think was made by them and it’s not available for others, the reason that it’s visible but not usable for others I think it’s because they forgot to add a flag to hide it. ---

Ah okay, that’s annoying but thank you for your help.
