    hello, i use external url to insert video in story.
    Even though the URL is external, why does the plugin still save the poster, even though I have used the poster from the external URL and in my opinion there is no need to retrieve the poster which is automatically taken from the video.

    There are 5 sizes:
    *-poster-120×120.jpeg
    *-poster-150×150.jpeg
    *-poster-150×266.jpeg
    *-poster-169×300.jpeg
    *-poster-96×96.jpeg
    (The poster is saved to hosting storage.)

    Is this poster generated from a plugin or WordPress itself? because I deliberately used videos from external URLs to save storage.

    Thank You

    In Web Stories, every video must have a poster image, which acts as a preview while a video is being loaded. Even if you host your video elsewhere. That’s why the Web Stories plugin generates a poster image if one is missing.
