A splash screen (or thumbnail, video cover, or preview image) is the still image that appears before a video plays. It’s the first thing your viewers will see when they load the video player, so it’s a great opportunity to grab attention.
Add a splash image to Kartra video:
- Go to Media center > Videos
- Open an existing video or create a new one.
- Click Settings: In the video configuration screen, click the Settings tab.
- Select your splash image: Click Select image to browse your computer and upload an image.
- Click Settings: In the video configuration screen, click the Settings tab.
- Once the image is uploaded, click Publish to save your changes.
The next time you load the video, your new splash image will appear as the featured screen before the video plays.
