You could have a standard graphic that you use on video only posts. You’d still need to assign it as a Featured Image each time, but every one would use the same icon/photo.
And / or you can have an image that’s displayed by default if a post has no featured image. You could do that using a simple snippet of code or use a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/default-featured-image/

Yeah I was thinking about that but it’s a kind half way for me. Such standard graphic isn’t unique.
Maybe there is a way of assigning a feature image which would result in having thumbnail but stopping it from showing at the top of the post as a big banner?
Thanks to this you wouldn’t have to worry about quality and the size of the featured image that goes at the top of each post.
Many thanks!
You could do that, but you’d need to be able to edit the theme and change a bit of PHP code here and there.
The conditional code in that snippet linked to above would pretty much do the job. You’d just change it so that no image was displayed in the big banner area; but in other sections (e.g. archive, search) it displayed the thumbnail.
Have fun.
