Uploads a custom video thumbnail to YouTube and sets it for a video

Hi @jack2020s Could you share a little more detail about what you’re trying to do here?

It sounds like you’re using the YouTube Upload Video action. Could you let us know what other actions are in your Zap (if any), and what trigger you’re using? The thing that we really need to know is where the images are coming from that you want to use as the thumbnail. 

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for you replay.

i hope when i upload the video, it also can be upload the thumbnail.

just like this:

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.

Hi @doubliyo!

I’ve gone ahead and added your vote for that request, too!

Hey team +1 on this one as well, would love to be able to upload a thumbnail when running the zap!

Is there some solution right now? Still no thumbnail field in the action “YouTube/Upload video”.

I would also very much like this feature. In fact, I was quite surprised when I found it wasn’t there.

Hi @Automateallthethings @Flecki @automarketer!

I’ve added all of you to the feature request. It’s still open, meaning we have not yet added it. I don’t have an ETA, unfortunately.

Hello! 

I also would really, really want this option. Please add me to the feature request. Thank you,

Chris

Hi @ChrisP! Thanks for your reply, I’ve added you to this feature request 🙂

Please add me to the feature request. Whether the feature is for an option to upload a graphic or a field for an image URL, it would save a step. Thank you!

+1 I need this feature to add a custom thumbnail to uploaded videos. This has been idle too long.
