Select Reel Cover Image from Video

Would love to be able to scrub through a video/reel and select a frame to be the cover image instead of it being the first frame or having to upload a separate image!

This doesn’t work on mobile version, is this something you could plan?

Choose the "Cover Image" option on the media uploader or click the image icon in the top right of an uploaded video to select a cover image!

*Note this feature is currently available on desktop only.

Can we get the ability to scrub through a video to select a thumbnail in addition to uploading the thumbnail?

This would be amazing!! In the meantime, if we upload an image with the video will it post the image as the cover??
