2. Custom video thumbnail ๐
We know how a strategically chosen video thumbnail can increase engagement and video views. After all, this little sneak peek determines whether someone decides to click the Play button or keep on scrolling.
In Kontentino, you can handpick the right thumbnail for your Instagram and Facebook videos.
After your video is uploaded, a Set video thumbnail section will appear below.

5. Post ideas and dateless posts
Do you want to create drafts and set up their scheduling time later?
