 * Hi,
    my web site is videosharingchannel.com (under construction) ; only registered
   members can visit pages. Registration is allowed and free . I use WordPress bootstrap
   4 as theme . I’ve also these plugins : buddypress, elementor and mediapress for
   upload files video and photo . Files uploaded appear on post page ( buddypress
   activity stream page ). When I upload file video and/or photo , the file appear
   with a text reproducing the file name . I click on the text and the player start
   working . I’d like the video appears with a thumbnail (an immage of the video–
   like youtube ) . How can I do ? Thank you for your time . Marcobronx

 * Hi Marcobronx,
    I am sorry for the delayed reply.
 * MediaPress does not support automatic thumbnail creation for videos. You can 
   manually add thumbnails if you want too.
 * For the text link, I am not sure why they are appearing as link(They should appear
   as video without thumbnail). Can you please try switching to default WordPress
   theme and check this again?
 * Regards
    Brajesh

 * Hi Phil,
    At the moment, we have got a local encoder for converting videos. Creating
   a encoder as microservice and fetching images for remote videos are on our wishlist.
   We will be adding the microservice in next 12-16 weeks(It will not be part of
   MediaPress, you can install as a separate software and let MediaPress use the
   encoding/image extraction from it).
 * Thank you
    Brajesh
