Optional Image Assets 

Custom Video Thumbnails 

Thumbnails for your videos are automatically generated by Zype during the transcoding process. You can keep these generated thumbnails or upload your own for each video in the Zype platform. We recommend you consider uploading custom thumbnails as it gives your app a much more polished look.

Note: You only need to add custom thumbnails once (If you’ve already added them for another app, you don’t need to add them again)

  • Standard 16:9 ratio (minimum size: 250px x 141px)
