Images to video disappeared

    I have various videos on the site frankelmo.com/sax
    I have re-uploaded, uploaded new, tried every variation I can think of & the preview page is a blank envelope. It says to set a feature image. On a video? Why? And How? Screen shots? Youtube doesn’t provide separate images.
    How can this be corrected?
    Thanks

    When you are on the youtube video page, right click and inspect source code. Around line 21 you will find:

    <meta property="og:image" content="https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/f9qavey27Kc/maxresdefault.jpg">

    As an example. Just go to that image url, save and set as featured image.

    Why do you need to set an image for a video? Because there are a whole lot more embed services than youtube, and to build something that tries to locate screenshots for all such services is not worth the time.
