Hi there @jack2020s ,

 

We also had this question a while ago, but this is not possible unfortunately. Zapier does have a feature request for this so maybe in the future we will be able to use it.

In the meantime, you could use a bot / custom automation my team and I created for this. Let me know if you are interested.

Thx

    Hey folks,

    Thank you all so much for your patience on this. I’m happy to report that the feature request has been implemented! 🎉

    If you’re Zap is running the latest version of the YouTube app you should now be able to see a Thumbnail field which will allow you to set a custom thumbnail image for the video you’re uploading:

    Excited for you all to give it a try! 😁 And if you run into any issues with it, feel free to start a new topic or reach out to our Support team directly and we’ll be happy to assist.

    In the meantime, happy Zapping! ⚡
