You can add a title, include details such as tags and a category, and control visibility by choosing Private, Unlisted, or Public. From here, you can select a thumbnail using the slider

Thumbnails can only be edited for LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook and Instagram.

**Important:** Editing thumbnails is not supported for Instagram Reminder or Instagram/Facebook Stories

**Tip:** Thumbnails will not display on Facebook Page or Instagram feeds when autoplay is turned on. Check the profile rather than the feed to see the thumbnails. 

## **How to edit videos**

**Important:** The video editor can only be used on Chrome, Safari and Edge

**Tip:** If there is a problem with a video, an error will appear and clicking on the icon will provide more information. Select **Edit** from the menu to make the needed adjustments.

## **Editing options**

A variety of editing features are available, including Crop, Text, Shapes, and Stickers. You can also trim the video, adjust the volume, or combine multiple clips into one video.

### **Crop**

You can choose a preset for a social platform, go with a standard size, or adjust the width and height yourself.

Click **Undo** in the top-left corner to reverse any changes. Click **Save Video** to exit the video editor and return to the Compose Box.

**Important:** After saving your video in the video editor, all elements (such as text and stickers) are merged, making them uneditable. If you wish to make further changes, you'll need to start over with the original video.

## YouTube shorts

-   To be published as a YouTube Short, the video must be 179 seconds or less with either a vertical or square aspect ratio. YouTube will automatically consider any video 179 seconds or less as Short.
-   To add a caption to a YouTube Short, you need to edit the video in the Compose Box and add the title, which can be done from the Video Settings page.
