    Hello,

    Why do our all thumbnails appear okay, but the articles with videos in them show the video thumbnail instead?

    Here is an example of an article for which this is happening: https://bit.ly/3C5C2gC

    Why is it happening?

    Thanks

  • Hi Openthebible,

    I checked and your feed is correctly identifying your featured image as the primary image.

    A number of other publishers have also pointed out the fact that Google is using Youtube video thumbnails of included videos as the featured image. You aren’t the only one this is happening to. It seems to be something Google has just decided to do,
